GRADE 10 PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES (20 HOURS)

I was a girl who was not very interested in sports. Although I knew that sports were good for my health, I thought they were very tired and did not like them very much. Any way, my school said that the BC government required us to do many physical activities, and we needed to do at least 10 hours physical activities before Jan. 8th. On Jan. 26th, I started doing my physical activities. I asked my mom if she would like to be my supervisor because I did not think I could keep doing them everyday. My mom was very pleased to hear that, and became my supervisor.

On Jan. 26th, I started doing my physical activities. I planed to do 1 hour each day, and then I only needed 10 days to finish the homework. My mom did not want me do go to the gymnasium because she thought the air there were not fresh, and the gymnasium was far away from my home. Finally, we decided to do the physical activities in an open space downstairs. At about 4 p.m, Mom and I went down stairs together. I must say, I was lazy, and did not want to do a lot of running, so I chose to do some rope skipping. I thought rope skipping was the easiest sport in the world. I would not feel tired at all. After half an hour, I found that I was wrong. I was too tired to move. Any way, I got a supervisor beside, she told me I could have a rest for 10 minutes and kept going. After 10 minutes, I kept doing the rope skipping, but much slower than before. Luckily, I did another 30 minutes safely and successfully in the end.

Later on, I kept doing my physical activities everyday. Sometimes I did 2 hours a day, which is very unusual for me. I thought it was a good idea that I invited my mom to be my supervisor. Without her, I was sure I could not keep doing this everyday. I did many different kinds of sports during my physical activities time. I ran along the Xuan Wu Lake; I played table tennis (ping-pang) with my father; I played badminton with my mother; I did rope skipping downstairs or at home. There was on thing that made me very happy. I found I lost weight by doing the physical activities! I believed I became healthier than before too.

I found that I knew more about myself during doing the physical activities. Before, I thought it was unrealistic for me to do 10 hours physical activities because I really didn’t like them. After doing the 10 hours physical activities, I found that “impossible is nothing” I could do many things if I tried my best to do, even the things I thought they were unrealistic at the beginning. In addition, I made my own personal fitness goal after the physical activities. I decided to do some physical activities everyday for at least 15 minutes. I want to be healthier than before, and be slimmer than before too.

I changed my mind to the physical activities. I thought some of them were interesting. I decided to try more kinds of activities later on. Of course, my mom felt happy about it, she said she would like to find some for me as well.

I also did the other 10 hours exercise during the May holiday in a gym. I felt happy that i did a lot of work on my after school activities. I feel healthier than before now.
