Today in Aquatics we worked on snorkeling and diving.  We learned how to get water out of our masks during snorkeling.  We practiced the front dive, the back dive, and our hurdle for diving.  I enjoyed diving, but it was difficult.  I back smacked a few times, but with Mr. O's advice I was able to fix my mistakes!

PSAHPERD Conference is December 5th and 6th at Spooky Nook.  I am extremely excited to attend.  This will be my first state convention.  I am hoping to learn more about health and physical education.  I am also hoping to meet professionals in our field to get some good connections.  There is never too much to learn!

I enjoy weight lifting, but I make sure to properly stretch before lifting any weights.  Before I work out my legs, I go through a long leg warm up.  I do a few sitting stretches on the ground.  I also do a walking warm up that involves, lunges, side lunges, quad pulls, karaoke, side shuffles, high knees, and butt kicks.  It is important to make sure your body is loose and ready to lift heavy weights.
