dodgeball dodGE BALL DODGEBALL!

No matter how many times I've ever played dodgeball in my entire life, it's still something that stays fun no matter what circumstance for me at least. Today my good good gal friend Simran WOO SIMRAN did an amazing job taking charge of the class but one of the coolest things to see this class was my other 10th grade peers being helpful to her and understanding how difficult her position was. It was nice to see the few of us co-operate very well. And the classes we've had with the 9th graders, be it band or PE, I've really enjoyed with them. Sometimes at first you wouldn't want to have anything to do with people younger than you but I sort of realized that these classmates are just as cool and interesting as the peers I am used to. So hopefully I can become closer to a couple of the other people in this class.

I still don't have actual pictures that are worth while but hopefully I can get an electronic device soon

but for now I don't want my posts to be very boring and filled with just words bleh

October 10, 2014- Fitness Friday: Testing

WOAH A WEEK LATE but I just got the videos so here is what I got for the testing that fitness
Beep Test: 3.2
Board Touches: 7
Height of Reach: 210
Jump: 240
Sit and Reach: 5
Plank: 21 seconds

I definitely need to improve my beep test level and I also want to strengthen my core so I when I do planks I can endure at least 30 or 40 seconds.

October 14, 2014- Fitness Tuesday: Locomotion

fiNALLY MAN my most favourite fitness activity in the history of ever, the locomotion WOOP
Because I knew it was going to be this activity I was instantly in such a good mood. What I love about it is the varied exercises that we can do as much as we want and go at our own pace. You don't feel any pressure to be at a certain level and it's just a time to have a good workout with friends. I always feel that I do really well in locomotion. Today I felt a little bit of pain in my legs though. I thought i was going to have a problem with the right leg but i guess my left one wasn't doing so well. It wasn't much of a problem though as I was just able to take a little pause, maybe jog a little, and then resume to the activity. I guess I have to get a new pair of those therapeutic socks because I only found one and also it's a little too big and keeps slipping off. But overall I'm doing okay :) oh and also I didn't get a picture this time eek it's hard not having some sort of electronic device

Oww me leg

My right leg has been hurting again OH no. I have what's called a varicose vein and I would usually get really bad cramps from time to time. This one time I was biking down a hill and it cramped anD I CRASHED WOAH. For the last 2 years they haven't been aching and I've been able to do physical activities fine but now they've been feeling weird. I think that's why  I was having a bit of trouble from the pond run. Now I know and I have to wear these special socks to support my leg cause I am very scared of those google images I searched up. Hopefully it'll  start to feel better.

BOOM STYLIN SOCKS

Veins freak me out

October 7, 2014- Fitness Tuesday: Pond Run

Today was a 1 minute run then 1 minute walk around the pond for interval training. No pictures from today though oh well. Overall I did okay and was very consistent when I was supposed to run or not but I felt as though it was still a bit of a challenge even if I went a slow pace. I feel like I did much better last year so I'm not as happy but I don't want to get to down on myself because there is so much room for improvement. Again I have to work on my endurance physically and mentally. Oh and thanks Laura for sticking with me the entire time! I never found people who went the same pace so they would usually leave and then the whole fitness experience was very dull. SO THANKS MAN

 

FACIAL EXERCISES??!

OK OK its not something REAALLY physically demanding BUT it's still an exercise I wanted to try to do regularly and to share this with fellow bandmates because these WORK WITH ALL BRASSES YO now go workout those chompers :D

GRANOLA??!

Since I'm just getting used to the whole 3 periods without a break thing I AM BARELY ALIVE AND STARVING soo my mom was awesome and got me really good snack foods to munch on so if you need me I'll be in the corner of the classroom quietly crunching these absolutely delicious fruity tooty granola :D

October 1, 2014- Working Out With Friends

WELCOME BACK! It's a new year in this course and I really want to make a huge effort to do WAY MORE than I ever did last year. I want to really step it up this year. SO WISH ME LUCK

Today was a really fun day because I found a couple of friends who wanted to work on the same thing as me, flexibility and core. Also I am trying to get away from sticking with the people I usually stick around and just copying their exercises. So Nimrit, Simran, Hardil and I did a workout full of various exercises to help the core and flexibility and did them each for about 30 seconds. Now I feel that I did great but I would only last for about 20 seconds of the exercises then take a little rest. So I know I gotta REEALLY work on my endurance and core especially.

Thanks again Simran, Nimrit and Hardil for today!! WHOOP
