January Post


This is a photo of the app "MyFitnessPal". This app was introduced to me by my mentor Brenda Prokob. MyFitnessPal has helped my throughout my journey of trying to stay fit, by helping me not get over the amount of calories I should be consuming daily. Which as you can see on the picture, my calorie daily intake is 1,800. Each day I put all the meals I consume and it automatically calculates the calories and gives me the amount of calories I have left. It's my own personal fitness diary.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

What I'm most proud of is how my PowerPoint came out, I feel like the slides got the message across without putting the information in full sentences or paragraph form.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
 
I think I deserve a P because I had everything that was required in the contract and I feel like I really went into depth with my lecture content for my first answer.
 
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

I was able to have a lot of information to explain my first answer.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

I would try to not be so nervous because it really through me off in my presentation which made me talk fast.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think my second answer is going to be physical training.

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
  I'm doing my mentorship at the 24 Hour Fitness Center, at the City of Industry. 

2.   Who is your contact?
My mentor is Brenda Prokop. She is a personal trainer at the 24 Hour Fitness Center that I mentorship at.


3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?

I currently have 27 hours done.

4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
For the past few months I have been doing my mentorship at the 24 Hour Fitness Center with my mentor Brenda. During my mentorship she trains me and teaches me about nutrition. Each day we workout different parts of the body, for example one day we focus just on back muscles, triceps, and abs. During my sessions she explains to me what each exercise is for and she also gives me tips on how to show faster results.She has also helped me create my own personal workout plan for each week.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update


1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?


 I learned a lot of new stuff mostly training workouts from different apps. Each app is different some have workouts that target specific parts of muscles, while others mainly focus on workout either to get lean or toned. Looking at different workouts helped me develop my my workout plan for the past two weeks. I also learned that you need to be consistent with your workout routines and not slack off because you would start losing muscle mass. 

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

I  learned that changing up a workout plan every week will really target other specific muscles in the body and you could really start to see results faster. The main thing I learned this break was new workouts for specific muscle parts. These two important factors were really taught by both of my mentor and the "Fitness Buddy" app.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would talk to my mentor Brenda Prokop, because she has been a certificated personal trainer for 15 years now.
