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%
