Elly Lee (10A) - Stairs

Proficiency: P+

- At the beginning, I did not really like climbing the mountain, but now I feel

better than before about. Since the activity is challenging, I get to push

myself and I think this really helps me to improve my cardiovascular

endurance and muscular endurance.

- I think I have a really low level of cardiovascular endurance, so I have a hard

time walking up the stairs. I easily get tired, and often get out of breath.

- On the first day of walking up the stairs, it was really hard to walk up the

stairs, so I often stopped and took a rest. However, on the second time, I got

better and went up further. Next time, I would like to push myself more and

go further up. Also, I would try my best to walk up the stairs without stopping,

which would definitely help me to improve my cardiovascular endurance. In

addition, I would have a buddy and would have a talk so that I can check

myself and give/receive feedback. (I would use English starting next time.)

Moreover, I would like to focus on stretching when I come down so that I do

not get cramp and cool down my body.

- I think this really helps to improve the components of physical fitness

because:

o 1. Cardiovascular Endurance: improve the ability of the heart and

lungs, because I walk up the stairs until I really get out of breath.

o 2. Muscular Endurance: muscular endurance includes sustained

walking or running; repeating walking up the stairs would certainly

improve muscular endurance, because you use your muscle

constantly until you get exhausted.
