Five Components of Fitness (Body Composition)

1. In groups of five divide up each component of fitness. Put your component of fitness in the blog title. Example - Muscular Strength.

Body Composition.

2. With your component of fitness define that component.

Body Composition describes the percentages of fat, bone , and muscle. An adult male body should have 13 to 17 percent fat. The Body Composition usually refers the amount of fat to the amount of tissue. Body Composition can be measured in some ways. One example is using clipers.

3. Give detailed activities (at least two) that you or the class can do to improve that component of fitness. Explain how that activity improves that component of fitness.

To improve the component, the class can do sit ups and pushups. Sit ups can help burn fat around the chest and pushups can help burn fat at the arms and some on the chest.

4. Tell me the other members of your group. First name only!!! (if you have six members in your group two of you do the same component independently)

Anchit, Anudeep, Jonathan, Kevin, and Santosh.

New Games

1. What did you like about the new games unit?

What I like about the New Games Unit is letting us have creativity and have fun.
2. What would you like to see changed?

I would like to see the number of people per group increase from four people to six people. Then, we can have more ideas of how to make a game.
3. How would you make those changes if you were the teacher?

I would change the amount of rules from eight to ten. I would do it because some games might need to have more than eight rules. For example, one of the rules in the game my group and I made was that you have to score the lacrosse ball in the lacrosse net and the soccer ball in the soccer ball net. There were a lot of rules to our game so it was hard to "squeeze" it all into eight rules.

Line Dancing

1. Compare and contrast two dances that you have learned. Address the rhythm, tempo, timing, movement patterns, and formations.

Ghostbusters:
has kicking movements
jump to 90 degrees

5,6,7,8:
have to wave your hands while jumping
go foward diagonally
lots of hand movements

Same:
grape-vine steps
have to step backwards
jumping movements

2. What type of dance did you like most and WHY?

The dance I liked the most is "5,6,7,8" because it has movement patterns of grape-vine steps and the use of having the feet touch each other while going diagonally forward.

3. What type of dance did you like least and WHY?

The dance I liked the least is the dance "Cotton Eye Joe". I did not like the dance because of the song. The song kept on repeating the same sentences which made me got annoyed. I also did not like the dance "Cotton Eye Joe" because it had too many jumping movements which makes me tired.

4. What would you change about the line dancing unit?

I would change the song to the dance Electric Slide and the song to the dance Honky Tonk Stomp Dance. I did not like the song to the dance Honky Tonk Stomp Dance because I did not like the part when the music says "Hooooooooooo!" I did not like the song to the dance Electric Slide because I do not really like rap music.

Third Quarter Goals

In my third quarter goals, I will try to improve the 400 meter run to 1 minute 25 seconds. The mile to 7 minutes, the curl ups to 35, the pushups to 20, sit/reach to 12 for left and 12 for right, and 35 modified pullups. At home, I will try to do 30 curlups and 18 pushups. At school, I will run faster. I passed all my goals except the curlups. I didn't beat my curlup's goal by 4 curlups.
