Hill Run

Hill Run
 
 
On friday we did the hill run for active learning and though it`s not as fun a workout as the Community Run I still enjoyed it. The video clip below shows how I put all my effort into the excercise. By the end of the workout I was quite out of breath and my heart rate was 102 beats per minute. It was fun and I think we should have it again. I also try to encourage my friends to push themselves harder. I was dedicated and I never took a single break! :)
 
 
 

Activities Outside of School

Activities Outside of School
 
There are many activities that I do outside of school. One of them would be I walk to school every day and back up a hill. I often go to the YMCA after school on weekdays and participate in a workout session of Zumba, or go swimming. Here are some pictures I took in one of my Zumba classes. I took these after the session.
 
This is a pic of the studio.

Eating Right

                                                                        Eating Right


     It's important to get allof your serving of veggies and fruits each day so I have an apple almost every single day. On top of that I have various different fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, pineapple, watermelon, and mango. That's seven servings, and the average servings are 7 to 8 for my age.

 
 
 

Although some people might think that pizza is unhealthy it actually provides alot of the nutrients you need. Have too much though and then it bad for you. It provides you with grain products, vegetables, fruits, and meat. In fact I had pizza the other night.


I also love smoothies. I think that they are an excellent source of nutrients. I usually make one after school. I put in various types of fruits and add in milk.



Community Run

                                                                           Community Run

  
            The video is of me and my friend running together during the Community Run. I think it shows that I am able to enjoy active learning and that you can't make others have fun and be happy with the session unless you are enthusiastic about it. I finished with my friend in 27 minutes and 35 seconds. I worked really hard and by the end of the run I was so tired I thought I was going to collapse.  I really enjoy doing the Community Run and I think we should have it more often.


 
This is a picture of me after the run.
 
I was exhausted!

Eating Right

Eating Right 


Its important to eat right because your body needs the energy. So many people make goals to have a better diet but they always go back to their same eating habits. Junk Food. Everyone loves having some once in a while but if you don't keep to your limit then it becomes a hazard. Water is an important element necessary to every human being and if you don't drink enough then your body will rely on itself for hydration. Milk is also another important source of nutrients because it contains calcium which will not only help your bones but your growth as well. I try to drink at least 2 glasses every day. Other sources of calcium are almonds, yogourt and, cheese. I make all of these part of my diet.
 :) 
 
I love Milk!
 
 


 
Some people also hate vegetables, especially if they are green. Brussel sprouts aren't really my favorite vegetable either. A personal favorite would be spinach. Its a healthy tasty snack because it makes a quick salad.
 
 
 
Fruits are essentail to everyone because they are one of the main source of nutrients as well as one of the tastiest. I recently have a lot of pineapple because it contains vitamin B6 and a special enzyme to help break down protiens. I think it makes a delicious healthy snack.
 
 
Its important to have a healthy diet and to make sure you dont eat too much junk food.

Shabnum Bismel's Active Learning Self-Evaluation Grade

Active Learning Self-Evaluation Grade

PE has taken a turning point for me because I feel that I can now push myself harder than before and that I am able to take an extra step when excercising. I have been well prepared except on one occasion and am usually willing to participate and take leadership. I try to push people into working harder some of the time and sometimes make it fun so they can enjoy the activity like in these videos, when we were doing A and B partners.

This proves that I am able to take leadership and am able to make it fun and enjoyable. Excercising is not a  manditory course that you have to take, but it is something to keep you and your body healthy. The amount of effort i put in could also be improved though and I feel I should try even harder to take action so that not only am I helping keep myself active but others as well. An example would be the short clip of me playing volleyball in choice which I wasn't able to upload. I am not a big fan of volleyball myself but I know the rules and am able to make it fun for myself.

I think that I deserve a B with the amount of effort I put in, although I think that I contribute to the overall success of the class pretty well.
