Get Fit 12 will be my last PE class. I will now have no teacher telling me what to do and insuring I do something active five days a week for a whole semester. Thankfully Mrs. Phillips and the rest of the Get Fit class has helped me find new to stay active after this semester ends and I graduate in five months. With money being a problem I even learnt new, un expensive exercises that don't need any equipment. After doing the Nike Fitness App I realised I enjoyed it and got a really good work out from it so after school when I went home I down loaded it onto my phone so I can use the app at home.
Being a senior PE class we went on a lot of Field trips. A few examples would be, dance, grouse grind and gymnastics. We didn't go on as much field trips as last year and as I wish we did because of the new bell schedule. I am thankful for the ones we did go on because I don't think I would of ever went and tried most of the stuff if it wasn't for this class and the field trips. My favourite field trip was snowshoeing. I didn't think I was going to have fun during the field trip and ever want to go back. But I was surprised when I noticed I had a lot of fun and went back the next weekend and I am probably going again this weekend or next weekend. I enjoyed my time snowshoeing because it was a really good work out and I got to see beautiful scenery while snowshoeing. I thought it was going to be really cold and I was going to complain the whole time there but it wasn't cold at all and I ended up taking off my first layer of clothing.
At the beginning of the school year I found out I had knee problems that would limit what I could and was allowed to do in PE. Because of my injury I didn't get to go on all of the field trips and I had to sit out every now and then for a few minuets because my knee started to tightened up and was in a lot of pain. I started going to physio and it helped strengthen my knee a lot and I am now able to do a lot more with my knee. When my knee starts to hurt I try and find a way to still do the activity or exercise with out hurting my knee as much so I dint have to sit out. A lot of the stuff we did in class also helped me strengthen my knee.
Even with knee problems I still participated a lot and pushed my self as far as I can. I go home almost every day with my muscles were sore because of what we did that day in PE. In the beginning of the course I wasn't I didn't get that high when we did fitness testing, I couldn't run as fast and as far and I couldn't do as much in the weight room. Now that we only have three days left in this class I think I am now a lot more fit and can do a lot more in class. For that I'm really proud of my self.
I never thought I could achieve so much in a PE class but I did. Thank-you Mrs. Phillips and my fellow class mates that have helped me reach father then my goals. I couldn't of done it with out your help. And I wish you the best with your many years to come in physical activity.
