The learning outcomes for this activity are LO1 LO2 And LO4.<\/p>\n<p>LO1:-\u00a0Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/p>\n<p>My main areas for growth was my lower body as my lifestyle mainly consists of me sitting down on a chair and barely getting any exercise\u00a0by the lower body. To improve it I gave more than 1.5 hours for leg day and mainly measure\u00a0my fitness\u00a0level on the leg press which gave me the benchmark of my strength\u00a0every week and I could see it improve day by day.<\/p>\n<p>LO2:- Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills<\/p>\n<p>My lifestyle consists of me eating packed food and oily foods while being busy with IB, this created a challenge for me as I had to take out time from my busy schedule and controlling\u00a0my diet. Also, the exercises in the gym were too tough for me to execute as I had never been subjected to such heavy weights.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I was burdened\u00a0with IB studies I took time to learn the proper posture and new exercise\u00a0techniques and the sore body after each workout made it difficult\u00a0to work on my studies and yet I managed to do them simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>L4: Show perseverance and commitment in CAS experience<\/p>\n<p>The work out was very time-consuming and made it difficult to manage other things as It was really\u00a0difficult\u00a0to manage the studies and extra-curricular activities with the gym and many times I arrived at the gym as late as 9 pm yet I rarely skipped a day and continued the activity for a year and saw a significant change in my fitness level.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the beginning of the activity, my fitness level was very low and was a bit\u00a0out of shape, I could not climb a set of stairs without being out of breath and my thighs getting sore. so I decided to join the gym and hire a personal trainer to help me improve my fitness, the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-karnav-desai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2871"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3893,"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2871\/revisions\/3893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
