For one of my CAS activities I chose going to the gym at school for Action. It was basically working out in the different equipment in the gym at school. I got a demonstration from one of my classmates on how to work out on each one and what does what. Something we lack in IB is free time and when you get that time you don’t really want to work out in it, so the school gym is perfect for the long breaks. I would go each time I had a long break, I would be with a few others in my class and we would work out together. Time would pass fast as we were enjoying being all together, as we would talk and listening to loud music while working out.
The first few times would be painful as I wasn’t used to working out specific muscles, but as I went more often it got easier and I had less pain afterwards. It was just getting my body used to each machine and making sure I do the exercises right. But I had to be very balanced and make sure I did not work out too much or too little, I tried to exercise the same amount each week. This activity allowed me to test my strengths and abilities; I came to see that it took some effort to work certain muscles, to obtain the result you wanted took time. I still wish I can continue this activity to stay fit and healthy.
