Physical activity week 6

    On week 6, I went to the gym and actually remembered to take a picture! I went to the gym at about 8:00pm. I started off with some stretches ( as always) and when that was done, I hopped on the country ski elliptical machine. I chose the manual program, put in my weight, age. level 5 and set it to  35 minutes.I started feeling the sweat within 5 but it's on my last 10 minutes that I started dying. As my entire life flashed in front on my eyes, I decided to take a picture and leave something behind. However, as I was taking the picture, it gave me a minute to breathe. Second wind kicked in. I then decided that I can push it to the end.

After the dreadful 6 remaining minutes, the machine congratulated me and kindly beeped me off. 348.8 calories down!!!!!

 

After my cardio workout, I did 20 minutes of weight lifting and 5 minutes of push-ups, sit-ups and squats.

There is my weekly activity blog, hope you enjoyed reading as much as i enjoyed sweating!

My MMA Experience

I loved it. It was an engaging class that kept me wanting more after the hour was up. I am looking into starting training on a regular basis. It is pricey and time consuming. Therefore, I have decided to start in September when I'll be done school and will be a little more stable financially. I've learned quite a bit not only about the technical side of self-defense, but also the attitude that needs to go along with the newly acquired skills. Do I want to go back? Definitely! I had a blast and it is a great way to get your heartbeat up and burn some energy. Also, when I came home after that class, instead of feeling tired like I usually do, I felt full of energy and ready to do more with my day. Needless to say, cannot wait until next Tuesday to learn some new tricks and kick some butt!( my own butt of course)

Fitness- Active Living- self assessment

I can proudly say I have always been enthusiastic towards all the activities done in class or on the field. I like to think that I am not one of those people that complains a lot or always asks about finish time. However, I must admit that my attendance could be better.though it seems i get pulled away from school for personal reasons . My other weakness in P.E class is the blogging component. I haven't been logging in and updating as often as I should, or could;0

I really believe that for our success as a class, it is important to encourage each other. whether we excel or not. Leadership is patience, encouragement and concern. We can all be leaders and inspire each other by doing our best. That's why I think it would be difficult to name the best leaders in class as we all have it in us. Some just haven't found the desire to show it yet.

I am really excited to start weight training up at the high school so i can start improving my physical shape. This doesn't mean I haven't been physically active outside of class, just that I haven't been blogging about it!
I have been proudly sticking to a regular jogging routine combined with a healthier diet. I have added a considerable amount of fruit and vegetables and CONSIDERABLY reduced my intake of starchy foods and sugar. My water consumption has also dramatically improved. While at school, I am constantly walking around with my big Christmas cup full of water. Mind you I am using the ladies room abnormally often. In my body, it seems to be :
250ml = 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ml in my body = 79864215 pees
