Gym is a good way to improve health and I have been wanting to do something for my health as I have been ignoring it since a long time. For a long time I have been reading about the benefits of gym and I thought that CAS is a good opportunity\u00c2\u00a0to start gym.<\/p>\n
SDG good health and well-being was also demonstrated because by going to the gym I improved my health and well-being.<\/p>\n
In terms of CAS component, activity was followed because going to gym required physical exertion.<\/p>\n
LO1 – Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/p>\n
I realised that strength is one of my weaknesses and I have to improve and develop my strength if I want efficient results by going to the gym. I realised that stamina is one of my strengths and I don’t have to work to hard on my stamina compared to strength.<\/p>\n
LO2 -\u00c2\u00a0Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/p>\n
Challenges had been undertaken as I had to go from being underweight to an ideal weight. I had also set a challenge for myself that by the end of gym training I should be able to do bench press with 8 kgs. Communication skills were also developed as I had to communicate with my trainer about my daily progress, how my body is feeling etc. Self management skills as I had to balance my time between studies and gym.<\/p>\n
LO3 – Initiate and plan a CAS experience.<\/p>\n
Going to the gym required a lot of planning. I had to make sure that I train all the parts of my body while going to the gym because of which I had to plan a schedule with my trainer where all the parts of my body are given equal importance. I also had to plan a diet with my trainer as diet is necessary to get effective results. So I had my plan my diet with my trainer. Hence going to the gym required a lot of planning.<\/p>\n
LO4 – Show perseverance and commitment in CAS experience<\/p>\n
To get efficient results by going to the gym, I had show commitment by going to the gym daily otherwise I would not get the expected results. I had to give my 100% in every exercise to get accurate results.<\/p>\n
Learner profile communicator was demonstrated as I had to communicate with my trainer. Risk-taker was demonstrated as I had never been to gym before so it was a risk that I took. Balanced as I had to balance my time between studies and gym.<\/p>\n
