PE Log #6 Sept-Dec 2017

 September 21 Dry Land Training (45 minutes)

Dry land training for skiing has started.  My behaviour interventionist (BI) Jeremy has been in my life for the last 2 years and has helped me in so many ways.  He is very active but had a long boarding accident over the summer and is also just getting into shape for the snowboarding season.  Jeremy often participates in the Adaptive Snow Sports Program that I belong to and has always encouraged me to get into shape before the ski season starts.  He decided that over the next month we are going to do the Goose Spit stairs and the walking loop for 40-60 minutes.

After school I went and complete my dry land training with my BI.  We went back to Goose Spit and completed stairs and the loop around.

I took my dog for a walk after school.  I have been trying to do this more so I can keep up my fitness.

Month review: I walk and ran back from school 5 days a week for a total of 19 days in October.

Nov 30th Weight room (30 minutes)
I spent another Thursday doing the weight room.  Jeremy was able to take some photos this week so I could show you some of the types of squats and lunges I do. 

December 5th PT Testing (2 hours)
We have regular Cadet Physical Fitness training.  Today I completed the beep testing which is composed of five evaluations. They are designed to evaluate cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and flexibility.  These tests include:

• 20 meter shuttle run test (cardiovascular)
• push-ups (muscular strength)
• curl-ups (core strength)
• back saver sit and reach (flexibility)
• shoulder stretch (flexibility)

 My numbers are usually pretty low.  I always try my best.  With my recent weight training I am improving but still have a long way to go to reach my age levels
