Weight Room Goals

One goal I have for myself is to become more flexible for Tae Kwon Do and Field Hockey.

Being a Field Hockey goalie requires a lot of flexibility so you can reach farther to stop a goal from happening. In Tae Kwon Do, flexibility is key. You need to be able to kick fast and strong. When doing kicks, such as the Axe Kick, you need to be able to kick higher than your opponents head.

Here is a YouTube video that will help me achieve my goal of becoming more flexible:

I am almost afraid to post a comment, for fear of my horrible spelling will ruin how pretty this blog is...(I am trying very hard not to screw anything up.)
Good job with your Tae Kwon Do, looks like fun. Not gonna lie, kinda scared to hit you in dodgeball now... My face is pretty and i would hate to have you rearrange it...

Vounteering

All year, I have been volunteering with my sister's Rhythmic Gymnastics Team and coaching them. Over the course of the year, I have put in more than 35 hours, helping them prepare of tournament and competitions. I really enjoy coaching them because they have so much positive energy and make it a great experience for me too. Also, I think it makes me a more helpful, kinder, and better person. Over the summer, I am helping my sister practice and get ready for the season to start up again in September!

Locomotion

On Tuesday, April 22, our block did Locomotion for block wide fitness. I really enjoyed this fitness day because it was a great chance for me to see how much I improved since last time and push myself to the limit. There were a few things I did to improve since last time. First of all, I went to the buzzer every time, even if the round was almost done. I took less water breaks and kept telling myself to not quit. One activity I believe I improved on was the frog jumps. I did the exercise correctly, making sure I touched the ground every time. One exercise I had trouble with was the inch worm, so I modified it so I could use it as a exercise. Instead of doing regular push ups, I did knee push ups, to make sure that I was still working. Through out the block, I worked with different girls in the class. Everyone was trying their best and motivating each other, which created a great atmosphere. After we finished, Erlynn, Barry, and I did a cool down stretch, which was a great way to end the block! Below, I have attached a picture of Valeria, Erlynn, and I after the workout.
