i would have liked to gone farther on the beep test, but i kind of just stopped :0. i do think that i have the potential to go for longer, but sometimes i dont know what im thinking and i just stop.
i was surprised when i was able to get to 5th position on the stretch thing. and i held it for at least 10 seconds, or more maybe i cant remember exactly how long. maybe ive gotten more flexible, who knows!
i was able to do the body bridge for only 1 minute and 34 seconds. i usually do them at home and i can get well over 2 minutes, my friends started making jokes and i started laughing, which lead me to falling haha. body bridges are super hard. some tips are to just not look at the time and keep your head slightly up with a steady breathing pattern.
i was only able to do 12 push ups but Anusha stopped me and said i was doing it wrong! i was, i will not argue, but push ups are hard. i can usually do more than just 12, but push ups are pretty hard for me :(
on the jumpy thing, i think i realized my left arm got longer!??? maybe i got taller?? but i did realize that my jump distance from where my fingers touched was smaller than the last time i did it. maybe i was feeling rushed and didnt really put so much uh, jump potential....
this was my time for the t-test. this was probably the second time i did the t-test, so i wasnt used to doing it haha. but i think this isnt bad, especially with my lack of practice. i could definitely get a shorter time if i tried harder
i forgot to do the weird board touch thing and apparently we were supposed to do sit ups too. im not very good at the board touch thing, i think. i cant really remember, i dont even know what specifically to do with those things. people always tell me different things, like theyre bad at explaining what to do with them. as for sit ups, im actually pretty good at them. i dont know if im doing them properly, but im sure i am! i can get quite a bit done in say 30 seconds. i am much better at sit ups than i am at push ups.
i think this fitness testing was really good for me, and it HAS shown improvement for me in the past year and last year too. but i think i can still do better. hopefully next year i can improve and do better on my fitness testing. i like doing fitness testing when its just our band class since theres really no one that isnt doing something. whenever its with the other classes i feel less motivated to do the testing because of others. but in this class i feel really different since everyone is really dedicated and cares.
some pictures :o
me doing the stretch thing at 5 and marcia and i. i forgot to line camera that selfie up im sorry marcia.
So lame I can't see the pics… they are empty boxes for me. Not your fault. I want to suggest something… your fitness score went up because you are learning to keep working when you start to feel uncomfortable. You "I don't know why" comment about why you quit is key to continue your growth. You need to learn how to exercise just like you need to learn Math or how to play video games. You have started that process but have so much more to go. Keep considering if you are feeling "tired" or if you are actually unable to continue (called failure). The more you test this.. the better you will get at reading your own body. For example: do you do pushups until you think you are tired or do you go until you fall dow in the middle of your last one because you arms are shaking and literally unable to lift you? That is the easiest one to test yourself… the Yoga/running ones are harder. :0
