Weight Room

Today we did exercises on the Latissimus Dorsi, this is one of the many muscles on the back. I did 3 exercises revolving this muscele. 

At first I had problems figuring out what the proper form was. I couldn't get my back right but after getting help form Alex , I figured it out. 

Blog Reflection

After reading and commenting on people's blogs, I realized that my posts need much improvement. I need more evidence of me doing the activities. Another major thing I need in my posts is detail. Other people have many posts and I only have a few, in order to succes I need to write more posts

Mid-Term Post

During PE this year, how have you shown you are prepared and willing to participate 

in a variety of activities?  On what days have you participated to your best effort and 

why?  What days have been a struggle for you and why?

During this year I participate most of the time and for the time i don't participate are the activities i don't enjoy. for example one activity i don't like is the circuit because people don't try and it kills my vibe. The days i participate the most are days when i had a good lunch and when i like the activity. One activity i really enjoy doing is Insanity because it keeps you motivated and it trains basically the whole body. The days that i struggle are when i didn't eat a lunch and or when i don't enjoy the activity. one way to improve this is to try my hardest even though i don't like the activity. 

How do you contribute to the overall success of the class?  What kind of attitude do 

you bring and why?  How do you interact with other students in our class?

The way i contribute to the class is different to the way other people contribute. I contribute by following the rules and being a good sport. An example of this is when we play capture the flag, when i get tagged i go to jail instead of ignoring the fact that i got tagged. I always bring a happy attitude to class. I get along with all the students in our class, especially the ones i already know well. 

Describe your participation during fitness days - have you been able to push yourself 

physically?  What types of fitness activities do you enjoy the most?  What fitness 

goals do you have for the rest of the year? 

During fitness days i try unless its an activity i don't prefer. I try to partner up with people that are gonna try so it will motivate me and push me past my limits. The fitness activities i enjoy the most are: Insanity, Community Run, and Triple Threat. But out of those three i prefer triple threat because the partners in your group can motivate you. My fitness goal for this year is to get  a 12.6 on the beep test. I will get this by eating health, or atleast try to. Another way to get this score is to focus on stamina and endurance training. 

What does "leadership" mean to you?  Who are the best leaders in our class - why

To me the word leadership means a person who can motivate you and bring a positive attitude. There are many examples in our class but the one that sticks out the most is Parmvir Toor. He is always trying is hardest and always puts a smile on peoples faces. 

What improvements would you like to make in PE by the end of the year?  What are 

you the most proud of so far?

By the end of this pe year i want to have more stamina. I am most proud of my beep test. it is my highest so far. It is 11.3 

Finally, what letter grade A, B, C+, C, C- (gulp) best represents the effort you just described? In Grade 10-12 we need an actual percentage as well. :( Like 71%… because…"

After reflecting on what i did so far this year in pe, i think i deserve a B with a percent of %80

Beep Test/Fitness Testing

We had the beep test in the small gym and it was easier. I was aiming for around 12.5 but I quit just before that. While I was in the 12s it became difficult, I wanted to stay longer but I couldn't. But after stopping at 12.3, I felt as if I could have gone longer. I regret quitting at 12.3. 

Grouse Grind

This is my first time doing the Grouse Grind. I was nervous going into it, but after about 10 min it got easier. The challenge I had was keeping a pace that suited me. I started off fast but got gassed out. I then started to go slower. The hardest part for me was 3/4. It was hard because it was steep. I got 1:04 and I was disappointed. I should have gotten under 55min but I didn't have a water bottle and this was my first time. Next time I do this I will keep a pace that suites me 

Weight Room

Today we had three options which were badminton, basketball and the weight room. I wasn't in the mood of running because my legs were sore so I went to the weight room. I did triceps and chest. I know I'm not gonna get big but I just want to workout and be in shape 

Speed Ball

Today for choice we played speed ball. I enjoy playing it because it's a fast paced game. The one thing I didn't like was that the girls didn't do anything and there was a bad vibe coming from them. Next time they don't participate I should just tell them 

Interim Report

My goal for this P.E class is to get a 12 on the beep test. It seems like a small goal but personally this woud mean a lot to me. When I came in grade 8 I wanted a 10 and I got it. So far I think I am doing well in the class.
