New Feature-”Exercise Of The Week”
Saturday, January 21st, 2012
Good evening poeple! I have added a new feature called EXERCISE OF THE WEEK. On the left side of your screen you will see the new button and I encourage you to click on that button each week to learn a new exercise or movement to add to YOUR fitness plan. Remember you only get one body so let’s take care of it.
Make sure to pay close attention to my technique as I go up and down. Notice how I am calm and in control. I am not swaying all over the place and kicking my legs. You can experiment with a wider grip and a closer grip along with your overhand grip and underhand grip.
The “overhand” grip pull-up will strengthen the following muscles: biceps, brachialis, brachioradialis, pectoralis major along with the trapezius, rhomboideus, teres major, and latissimus dorsi.
The “underhand “ grip pull-up will strengthen the following muscles: trapezius, lats, teres major, biceps, brachialis, rhomboids, and pectorals.
School Wide Fitness Day
Friday, January 20th, 2012
Overall, today was fun. Next time we have a school wide fitness day we will have it on a normal day so we have the extra time each period to explain and demonstrate each activity. Enjoy the videos below. Have a good weekend people. Make good decesions and tell your parents and friends how much you appreciate them.
Ways To Sleep Well
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
Period 4, I am a little disappointed in you today. Make sure to fix yourself by tomorrow. Remember I care what kind of person you are on the inside and out. STEP UP YOUR GAME!
Job well done today people. Remember it is important to switch up your fitness program. Than is why I teach you “working-in” activities and “working-out” activities. Make sure and try the “ways to sleep well” tips I covered in class. Let me know how it goes. Below are a couple tips to jog your memory. Remember that from 10pm-2am your body repairs itself and from 2am-6am your brain repairs itself.
Sleep Tips
1-Avoid bright lights 1-2 hours before bed especially the T.V.
2-Avoid using loud alarm clock. Buy one that gradually gets louder as the seconds go by so you do not put your body in a stressed state as soon as you wake up.
3-Do not look at the alarm clock if you wake up in the night. Keep your eyes closed and go back to sleep.
4-Eat a small snack before bed. Make sure the snack has healthy sugars(dairy, fruit, honey) with protein, fat, and carb. Your body needs that sugar to make it through the night and to keep your blood sugar stable.
5-Do not drink any caffeine after 12 noon. In my opinion you should not have any caffeine at your age.
6-Journal, meditate, pray, write in your diary or whatever you believe in before bed to help calm your mind before you sleep.
