My goal was to lose weight and also to clear out mental fog. By regularly exercising and committing to a fitness routine, I have been able to improve my physical and mental health. I have been able to see progress in my fitness level and also noticed a positive change in my mood, energy level and focus. I have also learned the importance of consistency and discipline in achieving my goals. This activity has helped me to develop a healthier lifestyle and gain a better understanding of the connection between physical and mental well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LO1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LO4: <strong>Show commitment and Perseverance in CAS experiences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have shown commitment and perseverance by continuing to go to the gym despite facing challenges and obstacles. There were days when I didn&#8217;t feel like going, but I suppressed those thoughts and still went. I found that even on days when I didn&#8217;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<p>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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LO7: Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217; 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<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PHOTO-2023-03-04-17-52-20-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PHOTO-2023-03-04-17-52-20-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PHOTO-2023-03-04-17-52-20-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PHOTO-2023-03-04-17-52-20-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PHOTO-2023-03-04-17-52-20-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PHOTO-2023-03-04-17-52-20.jpg 1599w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I committed to going to the gym for a year straight and I am continuing to do so.
