Weight Room Workout

The 10 activities that I did in the weight room, in the order of which I did them are:
1. Leg Curl, 50 lbs.,12 reps, 3 sets
2. Bike, 5 minutes, 2 sets
3. Wall Sit, 30 seconds, 2 sets
4. Elliptical, 5minutes, 1 set
5. Cable Row, 50 reps, 1 set
6. Sit Ups, 20 reps, 2 sets
7. Stairs, 2 minutes, 1 set
8. Body Bridge, 30 seconds, 1 set
9. Lat Pull Down, 60 lbs, 12 reps, 1 set
10. Squats, 10 reps, 1 set

My goal for PE11 is to lose weight and strengthen both my arms and legs.

I haven't done any research on why I chose these certain activities, I just kind of guessed based on what muscles are worked. For example:

* The leg curl, the bike, the wall sit, the elliptical, the stairs and squats all help to increase the strength in my legs.
* The cable row, body bridge, and lat pull down help to increase the strength in my arms.
* The bike, elliptical, sit ups, stairs, body bridge, and squats are to help burn fat.

My choices very closely align with my goal...each workout has a purpose.
I can honestly say that there was no reason for the order I went in...I just went to whatever I felt like doing next. I didn't know order really mattered.

My workout did go well, although I do feel like I could have pushed myself harder. Maybe by doing more sets on workouts like the stairs or the elliptical. If I could change something, I probably would have taken out the body bridge and replaced it with the treadmill.

Mid Point Self Reflection and Mark

I'm going to start out by explaining the success of my  preparation for class. Every class, up until this point, I have showed up with appropriate clothing for PE. I have forgotten runners twice, but I still participated in bare feet (Flag football and the beep test were done in bare feet.) I haven't been late for class once and I have no absences that my parents are unaware of.  On a scale of one to five, my daily exertion level would typically be a 4. On certain fitness days I'll push harder, such as on the circuits and pond runs and on sick days, I'll give myself a more relaxed day, putting my exertion level at a 3. My attitude towards PE is more than often great. I have never sat around all class and constantly complained about the activity. Weather it's something I want to do or not, I will contribute with a positive attitude and I'll give it my all. Leadership is difficult this year, considering 90% of our class consists of boys, however, I do help set up and clean up. As for role models, I can honestly say that no one in our class is a role model to me. My main goal for fitness this year was to lose weight. It's difficult to maintain that goal, but my fitness level has definitely been improving. I'm able to run twice the amount of laps on the 30 minutes run and my beep test score is going up. Something that I've learned about my body and fitness this year is that your body needs different kinds of fitness to stay fit. Going for quick 30 minute jogs everyday isn't going to get you anywhere. From long slow jogs, to quick intense circuits, it takes different activities at different levels to keep yourself in shape. I believe that an accurate percentage for my overall effort in PE11 would be a 90%.
