end of semester reflection

First of all, I can’t even believe that the semester is almost over! Feels just like a couple of weeks ago, we were making our goals and what we aim to achieve in our fitness. I remember all of my goals that I set for myself to accomplish, like my improvement in the beep test. I set myself a goal to reach at least a 8, and slowly by improving bit by bit just recently in December I reached my goal and made it to 8.6. I was so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and giving it all I have. Another thing that I really enjoyed this semester is all the awesome field trips and activities we're done. My favourite would have been the hot yoga ! I know that most people might have not like it, but I honestly loved it. It was something new and I had never heard of it before. I know for a fact that I will be doing it again very soon. Besides the hot yoga, I would say that I really enjoyed the long walks we took during the semester. It was a nice way to relax from a stressful day and just reflect on the day, while getting some exercise. I would say that at the beginning of the year, I didn't have the best attitude towards fitness compared to my attitude now. I’m always happy and looking forward to some way to take a break from a stressful day and work out. I also feel that over time I became a better leader toward others and encouraging them to do better. I would also say that, another reason that I feel more confident in my fitness would be the fact that Get Fit is an all girls class, because I don't feel less of myself or that I have to do good just to prove myself. I try my best, because I want to get a good workout and for myself. I know that what I have learned in this class, didn't only effect me during that class but also outside my class, like changing my way towards fitness. For example this winter break, I went out for at least 4 runs during my free time. I don’t plan on giving up on my fitness goals after this semester is over. I plan to be playing soccer for near the end of the semester and all of summer, so i won’t be missing any of the benefits of being active. What i hope to take from this class is the confidence, self motivation and peer motivation that helped me to achieve my goal. I will really miss all of the support, motivation and all the great memories from learning yoga, to fencing to fitness friday. I really had an amazing time this semester in pe and look forward to doing GetFit next year again! Lastly, I just want to say thank you to everyone in GetFit for making this an amazing experience! overall, A 86%

Fencing Field Trip

When I first found out that we were going to be fencing, I was so excited ! I always like trying new stuff and fencing is something very different than something we would normally do.  I've never tried fencing before and I don't think I would have ever even thought about trying it if we didn't try it as a field trip. I'm so happy that we decided to try fencing ! It was a lot of fun , even though I got hurt. My favorite part from the past three days would be the today, because today was when we got to put all of the teaching from the past days together and actually fence against each other. I would change the amount of time we had ! I didn't want it to end so fast, I wish we had more time. From the past few days, one thing that I have learned is that you should never under estimate your enemy ! You should always pay attention to your surroundings and be fast on your feet !

So Far in GetFit

My experience so far in GetFit has been great ! I'm so glad I made the choice to take this class. One of my favorite experience would be the Tae Kwon Do classes we took a couple weeks ago. I had a lot of fun, learning ways to defend yourself and I know that others in the class had fun too ! One thing that I really like about this class is that we try new activities and learn new ways to achieve our fitness. I'm really looking forward for the fencing lessons this week, from what we did today I know that I'm going to enjoy this too. Besides, all the field trips we have been doing a lot of yoga and different types of new fitness activities like the beep test. Another thing I've been so excited about is that I have actually increased my fitness level ! I went from a level 7 to almost a 8. I was so close, but I gave up just before the beep. :( But, I'm not going to give up ! I know that if I keep doing what I am to increase my fitness, by the next beep test, I will have reach my goal ! Other than imporving my fitness, I have also had another goal. My Second goal was to always bring a positive attiude to class and be willing to try new things. I know for sure that I have reach my goal for this, because When I come to class every single day, I never let things keep me down instead I keep going and trying. Lastly, I don't end my daily fitness just at the end of class. I keep improving and working on my fitness even after class, like soccer pratice and going for evening walks with my mom. I apply what we do in class to my everyday fitness through out the day. A 86%

So far I have really enjoyed my experience in GetFit. I have set some goals for myself on how I want my fitness to improve and how I plan to keep improving slowly towards my goal. My goal for this year in P.E is to be able to get a 9 or higher on my beep tests. I have set many small goals all the way that will help me let up to reach my bigger goal, like joining basketball, trying my best on Tuesdays and Fridays and most importantly having a positive attitude and keep trying and not give up. 

I’m really looking forward for the fieldtrips we have planned for the semester. We already went to the dance lessons last week. The dance lessons were awesome! I’m not really a dancer and don’t really enjoy, but for the first thing I actually had fun and tried my best to do the moves properly. Just like the Zumba we did yesterday! I had a lot of fun trying to learn new dances and it felt less like fitness and more like having fun. I was so into the dance that I didn’t notice how tried and sweaty I was until after the workout. So, that’s my experience so far, and I hope to have even more fun and hopefully reach my goal.

I picked this song, because it motives me to keep going and I love the beat and emotion behind the lyrics.

Get Fit

There are many reasons why I chose Get Fit, a couple are that in the past few years, in my pe classes, I feel like that I’m trying to get better than others and I don't get time to stop and think about my fitness . I feel like that in normal pe with everyone else, that I wasn't given a lot of chances to improve and try my best. Another reason I badly wanted to be in Get Fit is, because of the fact that we get to go on a lot of field trips and try new things like yoga and Grouse Grind ! Looking forward to it ! My goal for this class, is to be able to try new activities and find more ways to achieve my fitness by also having fun.
