Fitness Testing!!

 In PE this week, we focused on fitness. this is an important part of life, sport and PE, and can be fun, while participating in a vital activity. We started off with a fun, but very practical, warm-up, spending maybe a minute at a station and rotating clockwise. We did this in teams, using our teamwork skills and taking on board everything we did previously when focusing on teamwork. We went from cone to cone, going from jumping-jacks, to press-ups, to skipping, to lunges, to running and finally to tricep dips. we, luckily, stretched our muscles and got warmed up.
This week, we tested muscular strength, by doing bench presses, muscular endurance, by doing sit ups and press ups, and flexibility by doing the sit and reach. We did these yesterday in class and needless to say we are very sore today!! But it was also good to figure out your personal limits and abilities. This is why I think that fitness testing is a good idea. The benefits of fitness testing are that it can give you a goal, to be fitter or do better in a certain part of the fitness test. It can also in the obvious sense improve your fitness.
My results for each activity in a minute were:
Bench Press = 5
Sit Up = 48
Press Up = 31
Sit and Reach = 20
Next week, we are going to be doing Cardiovascular Endurance and doing the Bleep test. I look forward to telling you about it!!
