Personal Narrative: My Muscle Strength

As I looked at the barbell stacked with two 45 lbs plates on both sides, I questioned my own ability, and think to myself there is no way in hell I am able to lift this without injuring myself.

At my teenage age I wish I had a trainer like these guys in the video, I would have become a retired heavy weight champion of the world. That didn’t happen during my time, but for these guys here in the video I am sure they will get there. Seeing their moves indicates they are serious and ready to do the damages to their adversaries. I salute you guys and keep it

I actively participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. Both seeing a need and having an interest, I along with some other girls founded our school’s first Athletic Training Program during my freshman year. In the program, we educate students on common injuries seen in high school sports. As the head trainer for our school’s swim team and girl’s track team, I attend to athletes’ sore muscles, apply wraps, and provide assistance to our new trainers (2015-2018). I’m also a leader within my school’s division of Future Health Professionals of America(HOSA), helping to energize the students preparing for healthcare jobs in the future. I became one of the founding members of Stem Moms in 2014, a program that educates students about

“Are you OK Logan?” It was my Gymnastics coach. I was lying on a mat with feet and face all covered in blood, the only word I could manage to say was ouch.

Muscle fibers – All human muscles contain fast and slow muscle fibers. The proportion of fast and slow fibers is genetically determined. The percentage of each fiber type varies from person to person. Fast fibers are better able to produce ATP anaerobically. Breaks down sugar

I would like to improve my muscular endurance and muscular strength because I play softball and I believe it would help me become a better athlete. While completing RIGHT ANGLE PUSHUPS and the PACER during fitness testing, I found my muscles got very tired and weak. I think if I improved my MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and my MUSCULAR STRENGTH, I would do better next time during fitness testing than I did recently. Muscular endurance allows muscles to sustain repeated contractions for an extended period of time. In softball there are various movements that muscle endurance can contribute to. In softball you need to be able to throw repeatedly, as well as standing in a squatting, ready position. Your muscles will be in use for a certain amount of time,

Mobility is essential for general independence as well as ensuring good health and quality of life (QoL) (Michelle, Jim, Jennifer, Sjaanie, & Judith, 2006). In old age, muscle weakness due to sarcopenia is responsible for the occurrences of frailty and important disability (Fried, et al., 2001). Especially in institutionalised elderly persons, muscle strength can deteriorate to a point where it becomes critical for independence of transfers and walking. There is strong evidence that in healthy older persons major gains in muscle strength can be obtained by resistance exercises (Latham, Bennett, Stretton, & Anderson, 2004). The ability to walk for a short distance and the grip strength are quick and inexpensive measure of physical function, and are important components of quality of life, since it reflects the capacity to undertake day-today activities. The six-minute walk distance test (6MWD) was developed by (Balke, 1963), to evaluate functional capacity like cardiovascular or pulmonary disease.

On March 3rd I went to my sister's gymnastics meet where they stretched, warmed up, and, practiced. first when they stretched they did simple things like Heel to butt, toe touch, and lots of other stretches. when they started to warm up they got on the balance beams and walked back and forth to get ready to practice. some of the other kids Suede back and forth on their hands. finally, when they started practicing they started doing some of the things they learned throughout the season. this the season was balanced beans they had to know how to walk backward on the balance beam and how to stand on one foot on the beam. the component of fitness in gymnastics Is flexibility, muscular endurance, And muscular strength. I was at this event for

Some background about me is that I have many year of experience within the baseball and fitness industry so that will help me find an investor to come at help us because when we are going to be talking about the future business he will see that I have a lot of knowledge on the sport and will probably take that as one of the good qualities I have because it’s now like I am going to give the people false information I have been play baseball seen I was three year old so I know most of how the game is going to be played. The origin I think started to come true when I was just thinking about opening up my whole gym just for fun but then after spending hours of do research on how other companies have been doing it I took in to consideration that

I tore my ACL during my sophomore year in high school. It was a hard time for me because I couldn’t walk for two months and couldn’t do any strenuous activity with my legs for the remaining four months. I lost a lot of muscle in my legs. After 6 months I was finally able to lift weights. My first session I figured out how weak I actually was. It was sad watching everyone else in the weight room lift great amount of weights. My best friend Cody came over to my house after weights to hang out. I told how angry I was that I lost all of the muscle in my legs. He is a great speaker and a leader on our football team. He gave me a motivational speech and kept telling me I could do it. He believed in me, which not many people did. It lifted my spirit very high.

Before I knew it, one of our not so good kids was running up to me yelling “Miss Dana, Miss Dana!,”gave me a big hug and ran back. It was a good feeling after a long day at school. I walked and noticed our worse kid was leaving and a sigh of relief came. The kids sat in their assigned spots and waited quietly while Michaela got her laptop. She explained the game while I put the poly spots in random areas in the gym. The kids came to the middle of the gym around the circle. Michaela and I stood in the middle, put Disney music on, watched the kids dance around the circle clockwise direction. Paused the music and all you see are the kids pausing and then quickly running to a poly spot. Down one kid each time,finally getting to the winner. I think they enjoyed playing musical spots, but I think they enjoyed

I take a deep breath, attempting to stop the shaking of my body. I stand still for a long time, too long, before I finally swing my arms and flip myself backwards. My hands barely graze the beam before they slip off, and I find myself flat chested on the beam in front of everyone at the competition. All I can think at this moment is that there is no possible way this has happened to me again.

were minimized to only present a size run of each product and many of the unused or unneccessary items were taken completely off the retail floor. New colors for the walls, more wood floors (less carpet), and a minimalistic appearance transformed this old and tired store into something fresh and new. These are all principles Steve and I learned at Footlocker and the benefits were immediate.

How many people’s lives have changed from fitness/working out? Well it is more than I count which isn’t to high but still. The impacts from fitness is an amazing thing not only can it change you, but the people around you. I think you can learn a lot about life in a weight room. I also think many people can motivate you. My Dad was one of those examples.

As of this morning, Compete shows 48 associates registered for the challenge. Fitness is still doing weigh-in this weekend so we could possibly see a couple more associates jump on before the official Monday start. I’ll update you, and the team, at next huddle if that’s the case. Next year I will start advertising the associate challenge as early as possible as well explore more creative ideas to encourage participation. On the member side, the total this morning was 161 registered so we have a grand total of
