Hill Run

On Friday we did the hill run for fitness. I decided that I wanted to do the whole 10 up the hill and actually run. I did all 10 and I almost did 11 because I was so messed up that I couldn't count. I also jogged down every time instead of walking to increase my intensity. While walking back I felt a combination of excruciation, happiness that I did it, and fatigue. My legs were trembling and had lost any sense of coordination. After an hour or so I felt a rush of energy which was weird but cool. The whole weekend my body has been that of a 90 year old woman: my hips, forearm (a little above the elbow and below the wrist) and lower legs have been killing in a good way. It was a fun fitness day filled with a lot of progress.

Interim Post

I have not missed any classes without being excused with a note. I'm always changed and ready to go as I keep strip at school. None of this has affected my ability to participate in Get Fit negatively. It has affected it positively because it pumps me up and makes me want to participate. Me showing up in strip makes me excited to work. I have posted 6 blogs this semester/year and I feel like my blogs articulate exactly how I felt during that workout. They are extremely honest, if I didn't feel like I did a good enough job I don't post a blog about it usually. That's why I want to increase my blogs to at least 2 a week that way I can say that I had an intense workout at least twice a week. I've posted a picture of my run time but mostly I like to verbally explain my thoughts as I don't want pictures of me with a red face looking like I didn't look flawless like I woke up like that on google. I have been able to reflect on my experiences thorough doing these blogs because it allows me to go back to that moment when I re-read these blogs if I need motivation. I would rate my intensity a 7 during class, sometimes I'm higher than that usually on group wide fitness days but other then that I've never gone below a 7. Two classes I had a blast during would be the locomotion day and the most recent would be yoga day. During locomotion I jammed out to music during breaks and then I pushed myself to go the extra step to get to the end. During the yoga day I pushed myself to do all the intense movements and poses for the amount of time that was required.  I could improve by making everyday like a block wide fitness day. I contribute my fun loving and accepting nature. I always say to everyone not to care about what anyone thinks because we are like a family and no one has to worry about people making quick judgements or anything. I've never seen any bullying happen in our class yet thankfully but if anyone dared then they would have to deal with a huge lecture from me. Don't even get me started on people like that because real talk they have no place in a class as awesome as ours. I honestly love all the girls in our class and I made some cool new friends :) I give myself a G. 

The Time I Felt Like a Yogi

We did yoga on fitness Tuesday to ease back into our routine after spring break. I was excited because the outfit I had on made me feel like a yogi. I was so ready to do this power strength yoga. I followed along as much as I physically could and pushed myself to copy the girls in front of the workout because apparently they were doing a more intense yoga. I didn't copy Robert, sorry Robert it wasn't you it was me. When we did as many shoulder presses as we could in 20 seconds I did 15 :) and I was very happy! The next day my shoulders ached and my whole body felt tired so I knew I pushed myself! Overall I loved this block wide yoga thing it was amazing and spiritual.

Group Fitness

Yesterday's fitness made me very sore. I feel like I actually participated and I can't move today. I want to get fitter so that I can get used to being sore.

Weight Room

I felt a little drowsy today on account of my medicine that I have to take. So today I chose to do a moderate workout. I just went on the machines and did a few reps. Then I did half of a 10 minute AB workout.
