Throughout the Weight Lifting 1 and 2 courses I learned many new ways to stay fit, both physically and mentally. I have gained more knowledge in the actual act of lifting. I learned to overcome challenges, and how to improve from them. I also found out how to tailor a workout to my personal needs, and to use that to plan for future fitness routines. Finally, I acquired the ability to be able to change my personal mindset on being able to take all I could from an activity. Being more knowledgeable in physical and mental fitness was my outcome to participation in Weight Training 1 and 2. I have grown in my general knowledge of lifting and being physically active due to my participation in this course. Before the class started I had …show more content…
By working to learn how to do certain lifts and agility workouts I gained experience in using outside resources and my peers for help. This skill can be used in almost any situation when dealing with needing to know information that is prior knowledge based. By gaining muscle in my shoulders and not skipping when I was sore I learned that even when activities get tough pushing to the end can be rewarding. I can use this idea to accomplish tasks in the future, especially when I feel like giving up. My third challenge helped by showing me that stepping outside my comfort zone isn't a bad thing, and can even result in new knowledge. In my future, this will be especially important because I will be able to know that gaining new experiences can help me in daily tasks. By applying the knowledge that I gained by overcoming challenges in this course, I have a higher chance of successes in my future when dealing with new …show more content…
I plan on taking weightlifting during school in my senior year. With that class, I hope to continue to stay fit and to push myself to greater accomplishments. Over the summer I participate in Drum Corps International, a highly selective activity consisting of one hundred and fifty marching members who send fifty-two consecutive days on tour competing and depending on the corps, two to four weeks in spring training preparing for the season. This will be my third summer as a contrabass bugle player, but this year I hope that I will become even more fit than previous years by applying the knowledge I gained in this class to my everyday workouts. At home or in the weight room, I hope to continue working out in the
Exercise science possess many traits that attracted my attention whether it dealt with the different job opportunities or the ability to help an individual. There are two areas of exercise science that one can choose as a possible career path or as a major minoring in something else related to this type of work. One of the areas of study includes exercise physiology which can be defined by “the study of how the body’s structures and functions are changed as a result of acute and chronic bouts of exercise”. Not only does exercise physiology promote a healthy lifestyle, but it is closely connected to human performance, fitness, development/aging, and prevention/rehabilitation from disease or injury. Pursuing a degree in exercise physiology allows an individual in this profession to choose between several careers including physical education, exercise science and athletic training (Fisher, 2). In addition, becoming a chiropractor can be achieved through exercise science.
Physiologically there are many benefits to consistent weight training. This includes muscle size, tone, and overall strength. Not only this but lifting weights has also been shown to improve psychological health as well. This is done by increasing self-esteem, conf...
I have identified the proper way to cycle your workouts to ensure maximum muscle building results.
You’re where you belong and you’re right on time. Whether you've been training for 20 years or wondering about getting back in shape for 20 minutes, you now have at your fingertips the most complete blend of training information and motivation for every level of participation. In a world full of confusion and hype we need straight talk and encouragement more than ever before. We don’t have the time, space or tolerance for anything else.

When setting a physical fitness program to complement our physical state of health, scrutiny should also be given to the definitive outcome this can, and in most cases will have a mental fitness level as well.
“After 5 months of training I expect to be moderately stronger and more efficient in all areas of activity as well as see a reduction in body fat and an increase in lean body mass.”
Before I committed over four years of my life to athletic training, I wanted to make that athletic training was the career path for me. To do so I took an anatomy class in the 2014-2015 school year and I am currently taking an athletic training class. Both of these classes have taught me various things
During my undergraduate studies, I spent time exploring the field of exercise science. I endured laborious coursework that molded my character into a strong-willed, disciplined student. As I deepened my knowledge of the human body, my passion for working in health care evolved to new heights. I also grew a fondness for learning new material and concepts. By the end of my undergraduate experience, I knew how to maximize my personal success.
Social learning theory assumes that criminal behavior is similar to any human behavior. It can be learned through a socialization process, which occurs when interacting with other individuals or social institutions. The duration, frequency and content of this social interaction leads to shaping people’s attitudes and behaviors towards legal codes. Ronald Akers supports differential association as a significant part of his revised social learning theory that attempts to explain deviance. However, he incorporates additional elements, such as differential reinforcement, imitations, and definitions. In the movie, Training Day, the trainee Officer Jake Hoyt needs to do prove himself and impress Commanding Officer Alonzo Harris in order to obtain
When I came into college I had no experience in the weight room. In high school I was not pushed to lift weights by any teachers, a few times by my wrestling coach but overall never really made it into the weight room. Now that I have worked my way into the college environment I find myself in the weight room all the time and I have learned and achieved many new things. I have learned many new lifts and how to focus on certain parts of the body. I pursued taking weight training to even better my education in the weight room and coach Ochsner has helped me find my way from hang loading to researching why maximal strength will benefit me in the weight room. I was never used to looking at myself and seeing gains but lately I have finally been
The course also challenged me and allowed me to think critically. Whenever I am faced with an issue I know that I should take steps to formulate an opinion. It’s always good to ask questions to clarify anything. Once all the facts are established, I know that I should assess them. Finally I am able to assert a carefully thought out opinion (3). After taking these steps can be sure my opinion is right and not just for me personally, but regarding others too.
Continuous learning is, therefore critical.”(22) This brings about greater rate in survivability and adaptability. A personal experience of mine was my first year at Carleton, has I was trying to get a grasp on my time management skills, which I still am even has this essay is being read. It began with the transition from a high school environment to that off a post-secondary, which was quite stomping, it required adapting to the new environment, learning how classes we thought, how to budget, learning to pay bills, learning to balance responsibilities while having greater autonomy etc. Has well as a lot of things which I had never dealt with, I made a lot of mistakes along the way, and still am. But the key point is with the sudden transition and changes met, constant error and feedback from my environment; professors, tutorials, landlords, managers each motivated me in one form or the other and resulted in me being more adaptable and efficient in my performance and productivity has a whole in various aspects of my everyday
This course has helped me in many ways, especially time management, health, and money. Instead of having a very relaxing week and then panicking at the end of the week when everything is due, this course has helped me to plan out my studies. Planning them out helps me produce higher quality work and assists me with my stress problem. One thing that has helped a lot is getting short easy assignments or parts of assignments done in short periods of extra time I have. For example, instead of turning on that TV, wait ten minutes and knock out an assignment. Another asset for myself has been setting dates to have assignments done. Although these assignments may not be due on that day, getting them done and out of the way, makes more time for other
In terms of Personal Development I feel that the course has helped me to develop the skills I need to improve my grades, and to build my confidence.
