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.

The kind of motivation that makes me work hard is an enviornment of high energy. For example, lots of motivation, etc. As an individual, I can motivate my peers to work to their fullest.

To make me work harder I need a clean and neat area to workout in. I can do this by cleaning up my area when its done.

ReplyDeleteBeing 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
To make me work harder I need a clean and high energy workout area. I can encourage people and clean up once i'm done

ReplyDeleteDavid Nguyen
Pd 8
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.
ReplyDelete2) 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.
Jill Grime Period 8
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%
ReplyDelete2.) 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.
Michael Elliott
pd.2
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.
ReplyDelete2) I can be positive and hope it rubs on to others
Boaz Ru
1. When I see everyone else doing their best and supporting each other is the kind of environment in which I am motivated to work hard.
ReplyDelete2.I can try to push other people to keep trying and keep their hopes up as well as making sure their form is correct in all exercises.

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.
ReplyDelete2. i think the above works both ways, if i am working hard then the people around me may be motivated to work hard too.
Steven Spector, p.2
1. When i am around competition I will work harder, it pushes me to be better than them.
ReplyDelete2. Im gonna start competing with everyone, so it pushes me to get stronger than the strongest kid in the room

ReplyDelete2. Loud music and every yelling at eachother in a positive way to push them to do their best
- Ricky Lay Period 2
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.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteI think I can bring that environment to the classroom by dedicating myself to the workouts and encouraging other classmates to push themselves.
Justin Wu Period 8
for everyone to be on task. and for me to act serious so hopefully every1 else does

ReplyDeleteJake McCasland
Pd. 8
what helps me the most is when there is someone who is slightly better than me and going hard. SO my competitiveness kicks in and i try to beat them. What i can do is by dedicating my self and actually pushing myself in the exercises
ReplyDeleteGarrett Ruderman
Period 2
the type of environment i need to work out hard is to have a workout buddy, someone that im better than at some and worse in other lifts. something i can do is to eat more and come in with a positive attitude
ReplyDeleteMarius Toderas
Period 8
I like an environment with positive energy and people with the same desire to achieve goals. Something that I could do to help stimulate a high intensity work environment is focus only on weight training and encourage hard work.
ReplyDeleteAlex Walsh
I prefer a nurturing and welcoming environment where everybody gets along and gives each other tips on how to get better. In order to attain this environment, I should not be a douchebag and try to befriend everyone.
ReplyDeleteAleksander Psurek
I wrote this.
DeleteBeing in an environment with your peers allows for some friendly competition and makes you push yourself harder. To create an atmosphere by working hard myself and helping others if they need it
ReplyDeleteDanny Mack pd8
DeleteI work best in an energy filled and competive envoiorment. To bring that envoiorment to the class I can continuously work hard and show energy to others in the weight room.
ReplyDelete-Victor Pires Per.2 (Corrected Version)
I like a hard working enviorment when i work because if no one is working hard then it feels like you dont have to work. Its also nice to have loud music in the background
ReplyDeletepd.2

ReplyDeleteJohnny Bestland
Period 8
I work best an environment where I feel like some people are outworking me (kind of like a competitive environment). It already kind of feels like that in our current class.
ReplyDeleteVincent Stubbs Pd.8
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".
ReplyDeleteDaniel Yarmovsky Period 5
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...
ReplyDeleteMichael HIlnbrand
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.
ReplyDeleteJared Welsh - Pd.8
1- Loud music blasting and know that I will get a reward in the end makes me want to work hard
ReplyDelete2- 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).
1. Work out music helps a lot and also being outside when its warm makes me want to work harder.
ReplyDelete2. Me as an individual can help by working out and encouraging others to work out.
Gloria Avedano Martinelli pd.8
1. I like to work in a clean safe environment.
ReplyDelete2. I can help out the class by encouraging them to finish and work as hard as they can.

Andrew Sanya Pd.2
gangster music just blasting in then room.
ReplyDeletei can encourage others
bobby mack pd 5
What motivates me to work hard: everybody around working hard, no distraction, high intensity work among other students, and a nice weather.
ReplyDeleteTo 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.
-Abdulai Sei, Pd 8
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.)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice if people would avoid sitting around having conversations that only distract others, and instead actually work.
Will Quackenbush
I can encourage this environment by "encouraging" others to focus on their workout.
ReplyDeleteWill Quackenbush
Everyone doing the work out makes me work harder becasue their is no negitive energy n the room.
ReplyDelete-Stephen Potemken Pd.5
A high energy, high tempo class would help my experience in the weight room. I can bring this myself by participating in all activites and supporting others in there workouts.
ReplyDeleteRyan Schuler pd. 2
An enviorment that makes me want to work harder is loud music and no negativity. what i can do to help bring that enviorment in our class is help others and ecourage them.

An enivorment that has loud rap music and my teammates pumped gets me hyped up to lift and get stronger.

A good environment for me is where there arent any distractions and everyone is working their hardest. I can suport this by working my hardest and paying attention to my lift not the music
ReplyDeleteJay
2) no horse play either
ReplyDeleteAlyssa Kopsidas
1)A good work environment is one where you have someone to compete against and one where you would feel bad if you didn't work your hardest.
ReplyDelete2)To promote such an environment, everyone just has to work their hardest and encourages others to work hard as well
Aria Fallah
1: A good working environment is one that encourages friendly competition in order to motivate each individual to try their hardest.
ReplyDelete2: I can promote such an environment by being encouraging and friendly to others while setting an example by working my hardest.
-Austin Dickey
To bring your A game and work as hard as you can
ReplyDeleteTo show that you want to work out by dressing in the appropriate clothes
James Kuldell Period 5
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.
ReplyDelete2: I can help such an environment exist by working out and encouraging the people around to work hard and push themselves too.
-Christian Woolschlager
Pd. 5
Focus and appreciation towards other classmates.
ReplyDeleteMotivation and good music.

Loud rap music and encouraging classmates is what pushes me. I think we have a good environment in our class.
ReplyDeleteDylan Jaffe pd 5
First of all, I'm EXTREMELY sorry for turning this in late! Alright, now for my answer:
ReplyDeleteFirst 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.
Class Climate is vital for a successful exercise, it brings a certain hard working vibe to the class when everyone is dressed and giving it there all
ReplyDelete-Cameron Siasi
A pressured enviroment makes me want to work hard. I can bring that by setting hgh goals and working hard.
ReplyDeleteTristan Johnson Pd.8
I personally like to work hard when others around me are doing the same. When everyone is training it motivates me to put in the work. Likewise I believe that if I work hard in class then it will motivate others to do the same.
ReplyDeleteRahul Dharmavaratha period 5
I think an environment where everyone is changed and working hard is a good environment to work in. I can change everyday and do the whole workout.
ReplyDeleteAlex Istaphanous Period 5
I like an environment where the music is on the back ground at all time, and not as crowed.
ReplyDeleteMike Chen
pd 8
i think the environment that has powerful beats music helps us to work hard. when people working hard passionately, that also makes me work out hard.
ReplyDelete1)An environment that has good music, and people with the desire to work hard
ReplyDelete2)Putting my best effort into my workouts would help the climate be more positive
