Weight room

Yesterday in the weight room we were told to find or come up with a workout with a goal, we used google as a source and searched up volleyball Workouts and warm ups. 

"Squat exercises prove most effective in working them as the motion is similar to a leap or jump."
The reason why we chose squating for a workout, was only because we thought it would improve something in volleyball because squating is part of an athletic position for the sport and the only way things would work out is if you are low. Just by reading some things about squating and volleyball, I've learned that jump squating would've been much more helpful since it helps you out with your vertical and would help you improve with jumping higher!




This is a good example of what we can work on next day
First for 5 minutes all four of us Jusleen, Zoii & Kimberly ran up the stairs. We then figured out how out of shape we were because we got super tired.
For each workout, we did 3 sets of 10 
And repeated the list twice! 
In the photo you can see our dumbbell squats, it was great because the boys joined us. The effort and energy was all there, it felt a lot better to actually participate... I'm in the process of showing Mr.neufeld that I can be much better than he thinks I am.

Scavenger hunt

This picture was taken on the Wednesday we did the scavenger hunt, we needed to take a picture of a police car and it literally took us half hour to take a picture because Kimberly had the flash on and it was a super funny.
I had a lot of fun and I remember being super energized, physically I failed on one part is because i forgot my p.e strip.
It didnt really stop me from running to each item, but I could've been much better if I was more prepared.
