We are almost at the midway point of the semester (!) so it is time for you to write a blog post reflecting on your progress so far in Get Fit.  Please reflect on and write about the following themes:

Participation -I feel like my participation has been consistant in the class and that I work hard! 

 

One of my best days was definitely one of the two days we spent at the Panorama School of Dance. I really dislike dancing, I've honestly never liked it. At the school of dance however, I tried my best to keep up with the instructor and I ended up really liking the class. I felt like I was working really hard and that my brain was working to remember all the steps. Sometimes I feel like stress might be a factor stopping me from going forth and really pushing myself when it comes to trying new things. I am consistently working on controlling my stress however and in the last few weeks I have felt more comfortable expressing myself in front of others and giving 110% when trying new activities. Many of my family members have been diagnosed with health related problems due to lack of exercise and bad diet choices. I don't want to have to put myself through that so I'm choosing to make better choices lately. 

Field Trips - So far I've really enjoyed the field trips we have done. I really liked going snowshoeing and im looking forward to aqua fit in a few weeks! I joined Get Fit in part because of the field trips. They have yet to dissapoint me:)

 

What has been the most enjoyable - Being given the chance to be in an all girls class is great. There's less competition with others and more competition with yourself in achieving that personal best. I also really enjoy being in a class with girls from my grade but also in older grades. I would to do another snowshoeing trip with Get Fit if it was possible. I had so much fun that day!

Fitness - Fitness has been great this year. From the beginning of grade 8, fitness has been my favorite physical education component. I like setting goals for myself and then trying to beat them. It's a form of personal motivation I truly enjoy. On the beep test for example, I went from continuously achieving between 9-9.5 all the way to getting 9.8-10 each time. Last week I wasn't happy with my first beep test score so I joined the older grades in doing it again and did so much better the second time. I'm proud of myself in regards to pushing myself in fitness.
