Believe it or not the year is over, This will be your last blog. We
do not have a final exam in Physical Education. I would like to think the last
18 weeks have been useful to you in some way. I hope you not only learned proper form on many of the lifts but also the importance of resistance training as it relates to long term health.
A great practice to get in the habit of early in
life is that of reflection. When you reflect on things you take a moment to
look back and figure out what was good, bad, or just different. This practice
will keep you from making the same mistakes over and over and will help you
figure out what things work for you as an individual. We are all different and
things effect us and work for us in different ways.
For your final blog,
I want you to take a moment to really think back throughout the semester and
list for me three things you learned or just liked about the semester and three
things you did not like or wish you had learned. Feel free to speak your mind.
I use this reflection to help plan my future classes

The incorporation of runs (mile, 400)
For the future:
There could be a bigger focus on learning specific workouts for an individual's sport.

Pros:
ReplyDelete- 3-week plan
- Finding maxes
- Running days
Cons:
- Temperature of the room
- People not actually doing anything
- The bars that people do pull-ups on move around when you do pull-ups on them, so it's kind of hard to get a solid grip.. but I guess that really can't be helped
