Weight Training Blog #3 Class Climate


For this weeks blog I want you to think about what kind of environment makes you want to work hard.  I worked with the Volleyball and Softball team a couple of weeks ago after school and we had 40 kids in the weight room hitting a metcon as hard as they could and the energy was so high I wanted to jump in and workout myself.

Your behavior has a direct influance on the climate of the class in either a positive or negative way.  I want you to do two things for this weeks blog.  First tell me what kind of environment makes you want to work hard and secondly tell me what you can do as an individual to help bring about that environment in our class.

    Being with friends that motivate me to push myself and also showing me how to do the workout in the right way is a good workout environment for me.
    In class, you could put us in groups and make sure we motivate each other

  14. 1) in order to be energized to work out, other people need to be working out too, so I don't start talking to the people around me.

    2) If there are people talking, I could just ignore them, and if they want to talk to me and I ignore them, they'll get the message and start working out as well.

  15. 1.) when other people are working out with me and pushing themselves. If they are being lazy and doing half the workout its harder for me to go 100%

    2.) I just need to try to focus and train hard regardless of what other people are doing and try to get them to work hard as well.

  16. 1) when other people are trying and do about the same weights as I do, so that we can friendly competition and push each other.

  23. 1. when im with my friends, and they are working hard alongside me, ive noticed that it pushes me to work harder and get more out of the class.

    2. i think the above works both ways, if i am working hard then the people around me may be motivated to work hard too.

  32. I am encouraged to work my hardest when I have others around me who take the class seriously and are self motivated to work hard all the time. I will contribute towards building an environment like this by changing every day and pushing myself to work hard as well as encouraging others.

    ReplyDelete
  33. A serious environment where students are willing to push themselves to the max and I can clearly see that effort. However at the same time there has to be some motivation such as students cheering other students on as they lift and some kind of encouragement.

    I think I can bring that environment to the classroom by dedicating myself to the workouts and encouraging other classmates to push themselves.

  46. I feel motivated to work hard when I am with my peers who are stronger or better at certain lifts than I am. That way I push myself to be on their level. Music is a must. I provide positive encouragement to my peers and give feedback on their form, and push my peers to do more reps if they "still have it in them".

  47. the ideal environment for me to work out in is one where people who aren't necessarily the same build or fitness level working out and giving tips and advice on how others can better themselves at the exercise they're doing. i can help participate to create this environment by helping correct someones form, whether bigger or smaller than me. Or spotting a complete stranger. or asking people i don't know if they wanna participate in the work out i'm doing and then proceed to showing them how to do it and the steps...etc...

  48. I need an environment with enough space to do my workout and not completely pressed on just work, a slight amount of fun in what's going on. To help I could help someone with their workout and show them how to do it properly while helping them push to the limit.

  49. 1- Loud music blasting and know that I will get a reward in the end makes me want to work hard
    2- To bring that environment to the class, I should listen to my own music and leave some sort of reward for the end of a hard workout (like the meditation).

    ReplyDelete
  50. 1. Work out music helps a lot and also being outside when its warm makes me want to work harder.

  54. What motivates me to work hard: everybody around working hard, no distraction, high intensity work among other students, and a nice weather.

    To help bring about positive environments in the class, I can work with others to do the right thing, motivate other students, serve as an example to others.

  55. Rock or rap playing, usually best if there are less people in the room so as to have more space, open cages etc. (though there's not much to be done about that.)
    It's nice if people would avoid sitting around having conversations that only distract others, and instead actually work.

  70. 1: I believe a good exercising environment is one where everybody wants to be there and work out. If people who don't want to exercise are there, it deteriorates the total moral of the group.

    2: I can help such an environment exist by working out and encouraging the people around to work hard and push themselves too.

  74. First of all, I'm EXTREMELY sorry for turning this in late! Alright, now for my answer:

    First of all, I believe an environment in which all students support each other both in their goals and in their actual lifts is what most facilitates a healthy environment; with several people helping each other, it becomes easier to work out without having to worry about bullying or unnecessary harassment.

    As for me, I will take it upon myself to be as supportive of my classmates as possible, whether they are stronger than me, weaker than me, or the same level of strength. In this way, I feel everyone could reach their individual fitness goals while avoiding the pitfalls of unfriendliness.
