So far, the highlights for me have been:


I am the most proud of:
Actually exercising this year and improving on my eating.

The most interesting things I have learned about are:
Our body parts, and I now know them better.

An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is:
When my bone came out but I still ran in pain.

I could make improvements in:
Eating more healthier.

I am really looking forward to:
Up coming field trips.

The Basics - WORK HABITS:

Attendance (classes missed and why) -
I've never missed a class so far.
Participation in field trips (woo kim, grouse grind, rock climbing) -
I've participated in every field trip.
Lates (how many & reasons) -
I've never been late to class.
Preparedness for class (gym strip &/or supplies) -
I always bring my gym strip and supplies for Bio.
Class time management (are you using your class time to complete your work?  engaged in class discussion? participating? following along? doing your best? or talking too much? ) -
Yes I am using my time wisely in class and engaging in class discussions, all though i'm doing a terrible job at posting blogs only thing I need improvements on.

Grouse Grind Post

a)  Describe the physiological response of your body to the exercise (heart rate? breathing rate? capillary dilation? body temperature? muscular fatigue? what hurt?  what was your limiting factor - why couldn't you go faster?)

     The Grouse Grind was definitely a challenge. My body temperature went warm as I  running up, it was definitely tiring and my legs mostly my thigh area were hurting the most. Unfortunately I didn't make it all the way up I only went half way. When I was running up my heart rate was increasing by a lot. Also walking down was pretty dangerous because I kept tripping on the rocks and I almost fell pretty badly.  

b)  You have cut and paste notes about the 3 energy systems - what energy systems were you using during the grouse grind and how do you know?  (hint: more than one!)

I was using Aerboic and Anerboic, I was using Aerboic because  when I was running up the mountain I used all my energy going up and I was also using Anerboic because when I reached have way I completely ran out of energy. I also started feeling sick.
