Midterm Reflection
This semester in Get Fit has been really fun so far! It has really made me realize that I can actually do alot more than I give myself credit for. My biggest achievment so far this semester is I really pushed myself on the beep test and realized that it isn't actually as bad as I think it is. In the past I have always just stopped around level 4.5 because thats when I would start geting tired and hot and I would think that was all I was capable of. On the last beep test that we did I went up to level 5.5 and after I stopped I felt like I could have kept going and I don't know why I stopped. I think this was a good experience though because now I know that I can keep going and I'm actually capable. I Think it was just a mental thing that I had to push past and now that I have my goal for next time is at least 6.5. Thanuji is my biggest motivator in this class. When we do fitness I always try to keep up with her and in the process I feel really tired hot, and sweaty and sometimes my legs even feel like jelly but in the end I'm always proud of myself and feel like I've really accomplished something. I also always try to motivate my other friends in the class and sometimes even kids that I know that are in younger grades when we do fitness. I also realized that it is really important to take pe. I've noticed that by getting excercise I'm less tired then some of my friends that didn't take it this year. I have some friends that are tired after climbing the stairs and it makes me a little bit proud that I'm not like that. The thing that I'm most proud of this semester though is the extended beep test we did up to level 20. Of all the days we have done fitness that is the day that I can say I actually pushed myself to my limits and did the best I possibly could. The most beeps I would miss were 3 and although I was tempted to miss more I didn't allow myself to. I was so tired at the end of it and even sore the next day. The thing that I'm still looking really forward to in the rest of the semester is the hot yoga field trip and continuing to push myself in fitness. I think that because of all my efforts so far I deserve a really low A (86%) because I still have a lot of room for improvement.

Thanks for the reflection Chantel. I can think of many examples of you really pushing yourself this year so far - I think that by you taking this course for a second time, you are more confident in your abilities. Which is amazing, you totally should be proud of what you are able to do. I know that it is hard to keep going on the beep test - glad that you recognize the mental aspect to that fitness test. As for motivation, that is great that you are finding it in your friends and providing that for them as well. Keep up the great work.
