LO1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

my goal was to identify my own strengths and develop areas for growth in my physical fitness. One of my strengths was having a good starting level of fitness, but I lacked flexibility. To overcome this, I began incorporating proper muscle mobility training prior to my regular workout routine. This helped me to improve my flexibility and also prevented injuries. By regularly performing muscle mobility exercises, I was able to improve my range of motion and perform exercises with better form. This helped me to achieve a more balanced physical fitness and also helped me to develop new skills in injury prevention and muscle recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

was in weight lifting, which required a lot of endurance. Initially, I was only going swimming to improve my stamina, but as I began lifting heavier weights, I realized that I needed to do more cardio in the gym to build my stamina. By incorporating cardio into my workout routine, I was able to build my endurance and lift heavier weights more efficiently. Another challenge I faced was staying disciplined to following a diet. It was hard for me to stick to a diet plan, but through trial and error, I was able to improve my diet and find the right balance of foods that worked for me. It is still a challenge for me to follow a strict diet, but I have made significant improvements in my eating habits and have seen positive changes in my overall fitness level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO4: Show commitment and Perseverance in CAS experiences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have shown commitment and perseverance by continuing to go to the gym despite facing challenges and obstacles. There were days when I didn’t feel like going, but I suppressed those thoughts and still went. I found that even on days when I didn’t feel motivated, I still ended up enjoying my workout and feeling better after. This consistency and discipline has helped me to maintain my fitness level and achieve my goals. Additionally, I have continued to go to the gym, even after my one year commitment, showing a deep commitment and perseverance towards my physical fitness and overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, going to the gym for a year straight as part of my IBDP CAS Activity was a challenging but rewarding experience. I was able to identify my own strengths and develop areas for growth, such as flexibility and endurance. I also faced challenges in weightlifting and dieting, but was able to overcome them through commitment and perseverance. This experience has helped me to develop a healthier lifestyle and improve my physical and mental well-being. Even after my one-year commitment, I have continued to go to the gym, showing that I have developed a consistent and disciplined approach towards my fitness, which will have a positive impact on my life in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO7: Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

reflecting on my choices and actions in the gym, I have always recognized and considered the ethics of my behavior. I have consistently adhered to the principles of safety, fairness, respect, and honesty, and have always created a positive and welcoming gym environment for all members. Specifically, I have always taken care to use equipment and facilities safely and responsibly, and have been mindful of others’ personal space and privacy. I have treated all gym members equally and without discrimination, and have never made derogatory remarks or engaged in inappropriate behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
