Starting in ninth grade phy-ed, I made some good improvement on my fitness test scores.
After ninth grad phy-ed ended, it was summer break, so I was very busy with marching band and boy scouts. The Boy Scout troop that I was in went on bike rides, camping trips, and hiking trips. There were many times when I was not busy my friends and I biked, ran occasionally, and played games such as kickball and soccer. Finally, the rest of the improvement mainly happened when going through tenth grade phy-ed. The exercise I did also work with personal choices I made to improve my fitness test scores. Two personal choices that I made to improve my test scores were my attitude and my nutrition. The attitude towards wanting to improve was straightforward. I just had to say I would like to not sit around all day, and I would like to continue to eat healthy. Eating healthy is also straightforward because you just need to limit the junk food that you eat, and mainly eat a variety of foods out of all of the food groups. The decisions I make will ultimately lead to me being able to achieve my
goals. I have achievable short term and long-term goals. For my short-term goals in high school, I will do the fitness test on my own time and make sure my exercise can help me do better. I do not have to just think about simple tasks like the fitness tests, so I will make sure that I stay active in boy scouts and marching band, and I will play games like soccer, kickball, and more when I do not have much going on. The short-term goals I have for college will be to find time to exercise. Working toward becoming a veterinarian will take up a lot of time, and I will want to hang out with friends, so I will to find or make time to exercise. My long-term goals in my adult life will be to go on long runs often, and try to go to the gym a couple times a week. I have set goals that I will be able to meet throughout my life. In conclusion, the improvement the happened for my fitness tests happened because of my choices, and those lead to me making realistic goals. It will be nice to see more improvement throughout my life. I will also be able to treat the time I spend improving my physical fitness like summer.
