What I Can Do To Improve My Blog

     I think something I can improve on my blog is posting evidence along with my posts. This something that really can help show your progress in P.E. and I personally feel that it adds a lot to your blog. You can actually see how you've improved and it just helps so much. It really shows what you've actually done and how you were able to do it, rather it be through a video or picture! I really liked the idea of commenting on others blogs and hope to do it again! (:

Fitness Thursday- Pond Relay

   Everyone's probably wondering, why is there Fitness on a Thursday? Well originally there was Fitness on Tuesday, but our class wanted to play in the snow before it melted so instead of Fitness we went outside. On Thursday we decided to do Fitness outside at the pond. We did pond relays which was lots of fun! The class had lots of energy and positive attitudes which made this activity enjoyable. First off I was late for this class because I was selling hot chocolate and had to clean up! :(  I has Fitness on my own though because I ran o the pond without stopping! YAY! It was actually a lot of fun running to the pond and was a good workout because there was stairs and everything! 

     Anyway back to the actual fitness! I was able to do a couple laps for my group, which consisted of Janelle, Laura, Hardil and me. Jackie was doing walking for us and another group so it kind of coordinated. I was able to do around 3 laps. I was very happy because I was able to run around the entire pond without stopping around the same pace. I didn't expect this, but being able to do it was a great feeling. I personally loved this Fitness activity and would definitely want to do it again!

Loco Motion!

THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! 
      We did Loco Motion in the dark in November sometime and this was so much fun! There was disco lights, while it was dark so it was like a Fitness party. This motivated you even more because it out this energy in you and just got you worked up. Regardless of all the fun, I still worked really hard and did the Fitness like usual! I tried my best to do everything, and did quite well. I loved this Fitness class because it was so much fun, with the working out part! 

Fitness Friday- Yoga!!

    OMG THIS YOGA AHH! 
     I have never ever in my life been so sore oh god. This yoga was the real killer, it was honestly the worst soreness ever. This yoga was followed off of a video and I CANNOT explain how hard this was. This was honestly one of the hardest fitness activities ever. I couldn't do some exercises so I modified to make sure I still did something; need to work on flexibility for this! This workout required lots of flexibility and really worked the core and thighs. Forget the day after, right after this workout I was extremely sore in my core and inner thighs. I was like barely walking up stairs and even like lifting my arm was a pain. The day after was even worse, I has the hardest time getting up from bed. My core was so sore it was hard to move!! Either war this was a very hard Fitness activity and I definitely did not expect this. :O

Speedball #2

     Both classes played Speedball a little while ago, and I must say this went very well. The first time we played Speedball the energy was low and wasn't as fun, but this class was great! We were all full of energy and ready to go, which made the class 10 times more fun. This class has so much energy in it; everyone was enjoying themselves. It was overall such a great gym class, and I really hope we have this kind of energy in every class. 

Capture the Flag and Speedball

    A little while back we had our band festival and because of this we missed many classes in P.E. Both band classes had P.E. together with another 8/9 class and we played two games. The two games we played were Capture the Flag and Speedball. These two games went pretty well, but I have to say the energy was a little low. People were participating and trying, but so many others were just standing and watching. This definitely affected everyone's energy and people stopped trying. This was still an enjoyable class, and it would be fun to do this again in better weather!

p.s: Thank you to Gavin for letting me borrow his sweatshirt! Bless your soul! (: 

40/20

     Alright, so a little while ago we did a different version of 30/30. All the students stood in the gym in different places, and exercised for 40 seconds/20 second break. Every time during the 40 seconds a group of different students came in the middle and lead a different exercise. You would get a 20 second break and then work out 40 seconds again. We were able to many different exercises during this fitness, while still enjoying ourselves. I like the idea of leadership mixed with working out. Overall I really liked this fitness and look forward to doing it again. 

Catching Up!

     Look who's catching up on their blog now! I haven't been able to do this blog as often anymore, but definitely going to improve that! There will probably a lot of posts all at once just to update everyone and then I will get to daily posts! Alright, Let's go! (:
