Leg Day High school is an essential time in a person’s life. It is when people form their ideals and grow as the person they will be. When I began, I looked, sounded, and smelled like a middle schooler. Yet only four years later, I was expected to be on my own. Along the way I had to learn along the way how to be an adult and and how to solve my own problems. It was slow at first and I had to mature. It wasn’t always easy, but I worked hard to get where I am today. High school, like leg day, isn’t always fun, but makes oneself a bigger better person. When a young freshman boy walks into the weight room for the first time, he is mind blown. He walks in at a towering five foot four inches, weighing a whopping 120 pounds. He looks around and the first thing he sees is a senior squatting four times his own wight. He looks frail and petite, and doesn’t even know how to do most lifts. This was me …show more content…
I had begun to gain some strength in my legs and I was really about to start lifting the heavy stuff. First of these things, is what happened over the summer. I got a girlfriend. Sure everyone is thinking, well yeah you 're a high school guy. But in this case, Stephanie Folk has been a huge influence on who I have become. This is due to the fact that, as a senior, we are still dating. Now the reason she has been such a huge influence in my life is simple. She is always there for me. She is there for me when I want her to be, like in the case of comfort. And she is always there when I don 't necessarily want her to be, as in when she 's holding me accountable and teaching me how to be better. Now there is another really big thing that happened in my sophomore year. I got a driver 's license. For anyone who caught it, yes I dated a girl for almost six months without either of us being able to drive. Talk about trying to lift more than you can handle. And so I continued on to my junior
1.There will be two groups, the control and experimental groups. Each group will have the same amount of participants with equal numbers of boys and girls. The first group will be the control group(rest). The second group will be the experimental group(exercise).
High school is a time in your life that at the time you think is the worst part in your life, but will later find out, that it is the best time in your life. Unlike my fellow senior classmates, I have come to the realization that I will miss this “shitty” place we call school. High school is a mixture of 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 year olds. Unlike elementary and middle school, in high school, all students are mixed together. To me, high school is a time in your life to figure out who you are, who your friends are, and to make memories. I love high school and will miss every minute of it next year when I am off in college, alone. O Bentworth Senior High School.
People say high school is supposed to be the golden years of your life. I don’t know what else in life is to come; however, my philosophy is to live in the moment and make the life you’re living in the present worthwhile into the future, not only for you but for those who surround you. I live my life participating in our community and getting involved in our school. The activities, and the people I’ve formed relationships with, are what have formed me into the person I am today. The person I am today is not perfect, but I have learned from the mistakes I’ve made.
High school is meant to be the time of your life, but for most seniors just like me it can be some of the most emotional and crazy time. The things in my past make me who I am today, and the things I do now are the first footsteps into the future. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past four years, and I still have so much learning to do. This is my high school story; the good, bad, and the ugly.
High school is typically hailed as a bridge connecting the last four years of secondary schooling to post-secondary college education. The high school experience is believed to assuage students into their roles as independent individuals ready to take on college and future endeavors. As a former high school student, I profess that this idea of a bridge, is just an illusion; instead, high school creates a divide, generating dichotomy in regards to post-secondary tutelage. Moreover, secondary educational institutions claim that they provide students with the utilities, assets, and erudition necessary to succeed in college, but in actuality, the modern high school does not prepare students
Every part of our body is a science. I never imagined the hidden science in the movements of the body. The science of kinesiology is the science of body movements. I grew up watching my grandma and the changes in her body as both of us got older, I could walk and balance properly while she lost it. I always felt bad when she was not able to get up and walk properly and as caring grandson I always gave her my hand. It was a great feeling for me to take care of her in her last days. Her difficulty in moving always pointed me to do something for her and I landed doing kinesiology- the science of human movements. I completed my high school at Cathedral High School in West Texas. I was an active member of National Honor Society as well as Spanish Honor Society. I held the treasurer position for one year in the society, which I felt proud of. I was not excellent at my academics, was just an average student struggling with the subjects of chemistry and anatomy. It is strange at one point of time suddenly when u come across a certain situation or an accident and u just realize your dream and...
Gymnastics is one of the most taxing sports in the world. Competitive gymnasts are known to train for over 20 hours a week, the equivalent of a part-time job. Being a gymnast requires commitment, discipline, patience, and a lot of strength. Although there are many health benefits of being a gymnast, sports like gymnastics can be a burden on people both physically and mentally. Among the biggest health benefits are increased self-esteem, coordination and flexibility, stronger and healthier bones, as well developing social skills (Healthy Fitness Revolution, 2015). Despite these benefits, gymnastics is a lot of work, which leads us to the primary

As I started my routine on the back bar, an image appeared in my head. I saw myself seven years ago, hands gripping tightly onto the bar with my chin hovering inches above the surface. My tiny arms were shaking and my knuckles turned ghostly white, but the cheers of my team and coaches motivated me to stay up. Just before the pain became too great to bear, I heard the last girl’s feet hit the floor. I stayed on the bar until I was aware of what was happening, I had just won the annual chin up hold contest! I was overwhelmed with joy as I dropped to the floor, girls running to congratulate me. This contest was a huge deal at my gym. My picture hung on the back wall for a whole year, so I was reminded of my accomplishment every day. I snapped back into reality, smiling to myself. The memories were part of what made the gym so special to me. Just because I was leaving the gym, didn’t mean I was leaving behind all the memories as
No matter how many situps you do, if you have excess belly fat, you'll never see results, because the fat will be covering up your muscle definition. This doesn't mean you should eliminate situps from your workout, because as part of your core, they can promote back health, and improve your posture, athletic performance, and balance and stability. (See References 1) You should, however, incorporate fat-burning exercises into your workout to get visible results.
My coach back home told me to not just go to the very top of it and don’t do anything we hadn’t done before. I take a shot at 11’ 4”, I go up feeling forceful and robust but I could not get up high enough to go over it. It happens again, now I only have one more attempt or i’m out. I sit down while the other athletes vault. Contemplating all the different ways I could do this. Finally I come to the conclusion that i’m going against what my coach told me, against common sense, and even against my better judgment. I take the 14 foot pole out of my bag and begin to balance it in my hands, the weight and balance feels so odd that I realize it’s a foot longer and that’s a lot higher up in the air that I could go. The higher I go the better my height, or the worse it’ll hurt when I fall. I take the pole in my hands which are sweaty but so covered in white chalk that it doesn’t matter, I see nothing but a red rubber runway and bar in the air. I can feel and almost taste the sweat coming down my face. I force myself to start to run. Everything's quiet, all eyes on me. I go up, do the usual motions but make myself push harder against
Primarily, Kinesiology as employed in the complementary health and fitness or natural remedies field, is defined primarily as the use of muscle testing to name imbalances in the human body's structural, chemical, emotional or other power, to establish the human body's priority healing wants, and to consider energy changes as a result of a broad range of both information and non-manual beneficial procedures. Kinesiology, as a result, may be understood as being a system of natural health which combines muscle monitoring with the principles of Far East medicine to determine energy and physique function, applying an array of gentle yet powerful healing processes to improve health, well-being and vitality. Kinesiology could be the most comprehensive
School was my first ladder, a precarious inch-by inch process that I somehow stumbled through up to high school, where I assumed I had reached stability: the board. What I didn’t understand was that I needed to provide some balance on my own. I dove into high school, thinking if I took care of one priority, the rest would automatically fall into place. Needless to say, I found that not only was this was not the case, but I needed to adjust what was the first priority in my life. Instead of trying to please others and be perfect, I threw myself into becoming a better person.
Ferris Bueller, an icon of all that is high school, stated that, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Though some of us will still testify that these years have gone by much too slowly, most will be willing to admit that they've gone faster than we initially expected. Our freshmen year we entered Staten firmly locked in the cliques that carried over from middle school, only to watch them slowly dissipate as we met new, exciting people in each of our classes. This was the year of the blessed late start days and the introduction of the seemingly impossible new standards. Our freshmen football team battled its way to an undefeated season as we powerhoused our way through the year, struggling to stay afloat in the sea of new faces, traditions, and teacher reputations. Treading water we finally broke in to summer, eager to carry out plans with friends, new and old, and to take a break from the homework we had finally grown accustomed to.
I always wanted to get good grades and challenged myself which help me get in the honor role in my two years in row, but that doesn't mean I am a perfect student. As, student going to high school can boost my confidence in the classroom and help improve my average writing skills. In Middle School, I was a part of clubs such as NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) and Service Learning, and being member of these clubs I become a well shape student overall by being optimistic and enthusiasm about school and I was given the opportunity to change the culture of my school and the community. When I am not doing school work, I enjoy playing sports, especially football, so by going to high school I can continue where I left off. Being a student with right mind set, transitioning to high school won’t be I hard, but I know I will have new challenges I have to overcome and long lasting experiences which will get me ready for life.
