Final Active Learning Blog

This year's PE has been both fun and challenging. I wasn't really a "physical" person when I started Grade 8, and I didn't plan on setting up goals for myself either. However, as I progressed through the year and made new friends, I became more and more active as I became comfortable with the people who surrounded me in our class. Because of this, PE became more fun, and I participated eagerly for the activities. I realized that PE wasnt just a block or subject where you fool around and waste time. PE is a subject that teaches students how to get fit and how to surpass that physical barrier we call pain.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to prove how much I try my best at improving my body at school or at home due to a complication with my computer and my phone. I stated before that I've been working on my stamina/ cardiovascular, but lately, I've been working on my upper body as I have a fitter lower body.The few basic methods I use to improve my biceps, pectorial muscles, and abs are weight-lifting, sit-ups, push-ups, body-bridges, and a few modified versions of these methods. I also play a PS3 game named "Sports Champions" to warm up before my workouts. Additionally, I've been eating balanced meals everyday, as I remember Mrs. Miles' lectures when I was in her Foods class. PE this year has been a blast, and I hope to have the same experience next year!
