Mid Term Reflection

In PE this year, I have shown that I am always willing to participate by: maintaining a positive attitude, bringing gym strip all the time, coming to class on time, trying my best even if I don't like the activity, waiting patiently for the teacher, and by never missing a gym class. My best days were surprisingly, fitness days. I feel like those were really good days because I was motivated to do good, and I really like the hard core workouts. Days that have been a struggle were fitness days that involved the beep test. I don't particularly like the beep test mostly because I don't do so well (although this time I did get a 6 which is "good" on the scale). I contribute to the success of the class by helping with equipment, and setting up. I don't consider myself a leader nor do I consider myself a follower, instead I contribute by helping. I would say that I bring a positive attitude, because I like our PE class, and I like making everyone feel good about themselves and happy. I get a long with literally everyone in the class, and I talk to everyone as well. I've actually become a lot closer with a LOT of grade 9's this year. My participation during fitness days, has been really, really good. A huge improvement from last year because previously, I would consistently give up when doing a fitness activity. I would enjoy them, but I would always get up. I think this year my mind set has changed, I constantly push myself to be the best I can be, and I always surround myself with positive people. The favorite fitness activities are: the pond run, insanity, loco motion, and triple threat. Some fitness goals I have, are to just never settle for less, really. Right now I'm happy with a 6 on my beep test, but I want to get a 7, then an 8, maybe even a 9. Another goal is to just continue to push myself in everything I do. Leadership to me means a person or group of people, that use their communication skills to make a difference. The best leader in our class is Simran. I think she always does a fantastic job whenever she organizes an activity, and I think she should continue to lead the class. An improvement I would like to make in PE, is to try to get to know more of the grade 9's and to help as much as I can during class. I am most proud of the fact that my fitness level has gone up because gym is actually really fun, and I'm proud of how positive I am so far. In conclusion I would say that I give myself 80% because I feel like I do push myself, but I don't think that its enough for an "A".

Insanity

For fitness friday, we had to watch the insanity video, and follow along. It was a little hard to do at the middle of the video because I got more un-motivated. But my friends Hannah and Pallvi are amazing, and they always motivate me to be the best that I can be, so I did a lot better at the end of the video. I felt really tired after, and was sore for a long time (in fact I still am). What I can work on for next fitness, and I know I say this a lot, but I really need to improve on self motivation.
