Ice Skating

  Last Monday our Get Fit class went ice skating. I was not able to go, however, because I had a test in Chemistry. I was really disappointed because I love ice skating. The girls that had gone had a really a great time. While they were ice skating the rest of the girls from Get Fit and I were in the library working on our homework from other classes.

My Progress in Get Fit

   Being in Get Fit so far has been a wonderful experience. Everyday that I come to this class I am motivated to try my best because I want to be fit and healthy. There are many reasons why this class is amazing. Some things that I enjoy about this class are that everyone participates, I am getting more fit and the kids in the class really make this class fun. So far I have seen many improvements in my fitness. Some examples of this are that I do not get tired as easily as I used to and I am able to jog or run for longer. I feel that I am successful in this class because I am motivated to do better each day. Whenever I see that one of my friends is not participating much I always try to engage them in the activity. Some thing that I can improve on is being more of a leader in class (being more vocal, giving my ideas and opinions). This year I am working towards becoming more physically fit.

My Fitness

   On Spetember 21 we had our first beep test and fitness testing in Get Fit. On the beep test I got up to level 7.4. I felt this was realy good for me because I wasn't active in summer at all. I was able to do the body bridge for one minute and thirty seconds and was also able to do 20 push up. My sit and reach level was five and I was able to complete the t-test in thirteen seconds. My max vertical reach was 34 cm and in thirty seconds I only got seven board touches. Overall I feel that I did very well but there is definitely room for improvement.
