April Report

         As the year is progressing I'm learning and discovering many new things about myself such as how to keep myself motivated, the difference between mental tiredness and body tiredness etc. I keep myself motivated by staying with someone who is fitter than me and try to learn a few tips and keep up with them in runs - beep test, pond run, running circuit. The difference between metal tiredness and physical tiredness is very hard to tell, but when i think that I'm tired (the last 10 - 15 minutes of an activity) I push my body and keep going maintaining the same speed throughout the activity. I think i deserve a G for work habit because of many reasons. One reason is that I'm always on time for class and i always have gym strip. To make gym class fun and enjoyable for me and my peers i bring a smile and a positive attitude to class. I'm also getting better at my leadership abilities and i encourage/motivate my peers and I'm making new friends in this class. As for making healthy decisions I'm getting better at them since this class teaches me a lot about health and its benefits and my foods class is also helping me in choosing healthy, nutritious foods that aren't very complicated to make. This class has also teaches me how to do fitness in many different and equally fun ways that i do with my family on the weekends. As I said in the last blog post I'm doing very good in my bhangra team and I'm hoping to make the school bhangra team next time since i was very close to making it this year by making it to the last cut. I'm also very happy that there is a junior badminton team and I'm tried out and made the team for the girls single and mixed doubles with Mikey. We have had 3 games so far and during them i have grown as a player by versing many strong, competitive players and from the tips from my partner, Mickey. Next week there are Surrey Championships and I'm not going for singles but for mixed doubles. We hope to keep up our winning streak. I have improved greatly in leadership abilities, and my fitness test results:
Body Press: 17                                Body Bridge: 110                
T-Test: 14.3                                    Sit and Reach: 4
Max Vertical: 42                              Board Touches: 6
Beep Test: 8.6                                 Heart Rate: 210 per min.

My sit and reach hasn't improved but actually went down but I think its because I have grown and I have to get back to the same flexibility. On Tuesday this week we did insanity and I used a step counter and aimed to get to 3000 steps in the workout but I made it to 2752 which I was very proud of because I didn't expect to get so close to 3000. This is why I think I deserve a A and a G. And like I said last time I love to come to this class, it's a place where I can work towards my goals with other people, people that will become my friends through the journey. But one thing that I would like to be changed in this class is that we should do more activities with just our class to get to know each other better because most people don't each others names.
