Extracurricular activity

On Saturday I went to my first ball hockey practice of the season. Last season  I was a forward but this year I felt like changing it up and becoming a goalie. It felt so good to play because I have been waiting so long for the season to start. Sadly I forgot to bring a water bottle and I was really thirsty. It was lots of fun and I was tired at the end of practice but, I thought it would be a bit more tiring but, my teammates were really tired because they had to run laps so I was happy that I decided to play goalie. My first game is on Wednesday and I'll be splitting it with the other goalie on my team and I'm really excited.

Day 1 of dance

Jazz dance is very complicated and has a lot of steps. I would always mess up because it was too high of a tempo for me and I would skip some of the steps. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and it wasn't that boring either. I'm hoping it's true that this is the hardest dance because I suck at dancing and I don't want to butcher any other dances.

Interim

Cardiovascular G
My fitness level is pretty good. I got a 9 on the beeptest and I am do well in exercise all round except for yoga. I believe there is always room for improvement.

Participation G
I always participate even if I'm sore I'll do as much as I can. I will also participate in activities that I dislike but with less passion and effort than something I like.

Intensity G
My intensity is good. I try to put in a good amount of effort in the beginning of every fitness but, in the last couple minutes I always finish very strong.

Contribution G
I don't do anything that would hurt me or anybody else.  I always play by the rules no matter what because I don't like it when others play unfair. I treat people the way I want to be treated with fairness and kindness.

Engagement G
I'm a active guy. I like to play hockey or basketball at home after school. Sometimes I help my brother with hockey and teach him some things he could use for in-game situations.

Understanding G
I have a good understanding of what I need to do to stay healthy. I know what foods to eat and what exercises to do and whatever I don't know I ask my older friends that take working out seriously.  They go 6 times a week and they have a good knowledge of working out and diets.

Physical preparedness G
I'm always prepared. I have a lock and I always bring my gym strip.

Mental preparedness G
I come to every class with a positive attitude and Participating isn't a problem. I always put my phone in my locker so I don't distract my self and I don't talk when you talk or give instructions.

I am enjoying everything in this class. Especially the talks we have in class because they motivate me to do better.the activities we do are fun and I love most of the activities for fitness.

There is only one thing that I would want to change. That is doing yoga on fitness days because I can't do anything that they do and it's a complete waste of time for me to do. Also I don't really have a yoga body so me and yoga don't go together very well.

Pyramid 1st and 2nd time

When we did the pyramid for the first time we went from 13 - 5. My start was horrible I really could have done better and I wish I did. I was at 10 reps 20 min into the work which really disappointed me. But with 7 min left I gave it all I had and I ended with 7 reps and nearly finished it. The second we did 10 - 1. I started better than I did for the 1st pyramid and I didn't look at how much time was left until it was a couple min away from the end and I was so close to finishing.  Rather than saying there's no point of trying I kept saying to myself I can do it and I can't stop now because I didn't put much effort in the fitness before. I finished at the end and I was so self satisfied and yet so tired but, now I know what I'm capable of and I'm going to try my hardest more often.

30 min run

The 30 min run was very challenging for me because I had not done any activities that needed running.I tried my best not to walk but I did walk for 20 - 30 seconds the whole run. At the beginning of the run I thought I was going pretty slow but I realized 15 min into the run that my pace was a bit too fast and it made me want to walk but when I did I would start to run immediately. I ended the run with a strong finish and I was drained of all my energy.
