LO 2 – Demonstrate that they have undertaken challenges, developing new skills in the process.
The Covid 19 break motivated me to get active and I did this by committing to go to the gym on the weekends. I tried working out on my own and couldn’t utilize or push myself on my own so I got a trainer. In my first session, we had a lot of stretching and then warming up on the treadmill. That instantly made me lose stamina and made me tired. I realized that one of my weaknesses is stamina and correcting my breathing. My trainer pointed this out and we planned cardio workouts for the following week. I found the push-ups and skipping to be the hardest. In the following week, we spent more time working on the push-ups and skipping. Practice made me better definitely. After the first few sessions, I had terrible body pains but I pushed through and kept going to my sessions as I knew this was a commitment I had to keep and not quit.
