what do you want?

Yesterday in the weight room i worked on abs and core strength. My exercises situps, crunch, plank, leg raises, flutter kicks, 6 inches, sliders, pull ins, side to side obliques. on my plank i set my new personal best which was 2 minutes and before it was lower because i never worked on my core strength. On most of them i did 3 sets but on the plank i only did 2. When im choosing my workouts i am thinking about what my weaknesses are and what i need to work on. when i do research i just search up workouts on google and see what peoples reviews are on them.There are also posts by other people sharing their workouts and giving new ideas. When i chose my order i chose sit ups and crunchs so i can warm up my abs then i do a plank and maxed out. My workout was tough for me because i barely work on my core and i was going all out on the plank which got me tired. It was not fun because i hate doing abs and core but i sucked it up because you have to do it one day or another. What did go well was the pull ins because i couldnt do all the reps and it was hard. I think it was worth going to the weightroom because i atleast got a ab and core workout

REPORT CARD

In this semester I have been successful at coming to class in gym strip with shorts and runners. Another thing ive been successful at is trying new sports and getting out of my comfort zone. So far I had 2 absences but I always try to make the effort to show up to class but my main problem can be showing up on time. My average exertion level is high most of the time when i start to play sports because in team sports i get competitive and try to do whatever to win. Towards the class I havent really contributed to the overall positive atmosphere because I was new this year and i didnt really know anyone so i was more focused on gettting to know everyone and all. Ways i showed positive leadership was going with Mandeep to the weightroom and showing him workouts and different exercizes. Goals i have set are I want to be as fit as i used be and have higher scores on beep tests and be able to complete the runs. So far in pe I have been trying to push myself on fitness days so I can complete my goals and outside of pe i have been doing cardio in the gym. One thing i learned in pe was how out of shape I am and how i need to start pushing myself more to get back in shape. I think an accurate grade for pe this year would be a 85% because i have been showing up everyday to pe in gym strip ready to work hard but i have been late and 2 absences would make me lose marks. I think to get a higher mark i would need to show up to class on time in strip and ready to play hard.
