Semester End Reflection.

I've noticed a huge difference in myself between grade 8&9 and grade 10 when it comes to PE. I've had a much more open mind when it comes to working out. I've been fully participating more in class and actually enjoying it. I've really liked getting the chances to go on the fieldtrips. Hot yoga is something I probably wouldn't consider doing in my own time so I'm really glad I did it in this class. Since I had done karate before, I kind of knew what to expect when walking into taek wondo, but it was fun to re-do a lot of the things after so long. I noticed that I was stress-free for that class. It was a nice way to blow off steam. I really enjoyed doing fitness classes where we had a variety of excersises to do rather than running for the entire class. It makes it much more enjoyable. I really liked doing the circuit that we did in October, I think, where we were outside on the field and did a bunch of different excersises. We had so much variety in the workouts that made it different compared to other fitness days. I actually prefer doing PE with our class separate from the others in our block since I don't have to worry about anyone else and can focus on myself. I really enjoyed this class, mostly because it was girls only. It was easier to focus on working out, in my opinion. I'm actually looking forward to taking get fit again next year for grade 11. I've had a lot of fun this semester and want to take this class again. I really liked the fact that everyone in this class was so motivating. Everyone was ready to motivate whenever someone felt like giving up. 

Winter Break

After coming back from winter break and doing the circuit workout, I could definitely feel my self pushing to get see a difference. I've noticed that my thoughts about fitness are improving since I'm not just showing negativity. I've tried making it more positive by just doing something silly that could release 'tension'. I think mostly I've just been dancing much more to keep myself positive during fitness days and it's really making a difference. With the alternating circuit I saw myself pushing even harder and continuing to run even when my legs are shaking and I'm super tired. There are still things I could improve on but I've noticed a pretty big difference within myself between last year and this year. During winter break, I walked around a lot with a couple of my friends. We would walk to the library where we attempted to finish our homework. 
here's a picture of me and one of my friends whilst on an adventure. We tried the powerful-force-thing picture. 
Here's a picture of a route we took while walking to the library, and it was uphill might I add.
