Reflection

So far this semester, I have been very motivated to participate in Get Fit. I always try to participate as much as I possibly can, in order to get as much out of the activities as I can. There are two main things that motivate me: positivity and the feeling of having accomplished something. I always feel as if I am the most motivated when I am with people who have positive energy. It always helps to have someone there to encourage you and help you stay motivated. I am also motivated by the feeling of having accomplished something. It makes me feel that I CAN do anything if I put my best effort into it. 

In Get Fit, I have enjoyed having field trips that allow us to go out of our comfort zones and have fun doing it. I think it really helps us see the types of activities we can do, once we get out of high school. I think it also helps us see our strengths and see the things we like to do, which in turn motivates us to do more activities outside of school hours.

I have seen many improvements in my fitness. For example, usually when the school year starts, my beep test score would only be 6-7, because I wasn't in the best shape. However, this year, I got a score that I am very happy with. I have also seen improvements in hill runs. Usually, I would take breaks. But now, I find that I don't take breaks anymore.

I have contributed to my personal success in the class by always going that extra mile. I always try to push myself to do more than what I expected. For example, when we do partner circuits (30 seconds on, 30 seconds off), I always try to do at least five activities which I do the full minute. And when I come across an activity that I don't necessarily like, I always say to myself, "Come on, you can do it! It's only a few seconds more!" I have also contributed to the success of the class by trying not to have a negative energy. I always try to smile and be positive, even if I haven't had such a good day.

I can improve by helping out more, and taking more initiative when we're doing something that needs setting up. I also want to improve my leadership skills, especially when we do block-wide fitness, to help the younger grades stay motivated, and to encourage them, as well.

Something I would REALLY like to accomplish this semester is to get a 10 for a beep test score. I feel like I finally have enough strength - both physical and mental - to achieve this goal. I feel as if I finally have enough motivation and enough endurance to achieve this.
