Weight Room Goals

Weight Room Goals:

   My goal is to strengthen my upper body to build up muscles and my lower body to strengthen my legs for sports such as soccer and also to build up my stamina/endurance for beep tests and long-runs. By doing these activities combined I will be able to burn fat while strengthening my body.

Upper Body workouts: To build my triceps I will make a routine for different forms of push ups, and for my biceps, whenever we are in the weight room, I will use dumbbells to work out.

Lower Body Workouts: For my lower body work outs, I usually go on the treadmill for about 30-35 mins followed by sit-ups. I also go outside if the weather permits and do laps to build my stamina.

With commitment, I will reach my goals!

Fitness Testing #2

Beep Test: 8.4
Sit and Reach: 1
T test: 12.08
Plank: 1:23
Push ups: 21
Vertical:  35 cm
Board: 13

I feel a bit proud of myself for getting 8.4 on the beep test. as my last one was 7.5. Since It was the last beep test since winter break is coming up, I gave it my best but I think I could have  went to 9 but I missed 2 beeps. Some things I really need to work on are the boards and t test. Overall, I think I did pretty well and the extended beep test really helped.

Extended Beep Test

Extended Beep Test

 Last Friday, we did the extended beep test which I enjoyed more than the regular old beep test. This is because we got time to rest and you ran at your own pace. I think this is why a lot of people like this activity. Additionally, it trains your body for the real fitness beep test and other activities such as marathons or races. I think we should do more of those activities and maybe do them outside in overcast. Big thumbs up to the teachers for trying this activity!

Yoga

Yoga

 I believe last Friday we did insanity yoga. To be honest, I didn't like it a lot because I couldn't do the crazy ,"insane" yoga poses. Fortunately, I modified some of them and made it work out. I was impressed how some people could do it, and that motivated me to try my hardest to do these yoga poses. I think we should do more and new fitness activities such disco locomotion so it motivates people to try. Overall, the yoga insanity was alright and I enjoyed seeing people achieve these crazy poses.
