Improving Core Strength Through Exercise

The student reflects on participating in a physical education class that focused on improving weaknesses identified in a pre-test. They were placed in a trunk curl group due to lower scores on push-ups. Through regular practice with their group, their form and core strength improved. Over several weeks, they were able to double their original push-up score. For the future, the student plans to continue trunk curl exercises on vacation to further improve their abdominal muscles and achieve their body goals.

REFLECTION

Physical education develops fitness and fosters the


desire for lifelong participation in physical activity.
Physical education helps students develop and improve
physical skills. When exercising, it involves engaging in
physical activity and increases the heart rate beyond
resting levels. When our teacher said that we are going to
group ourselves according to our weakness in the pre-test.
I’ve decided that I will be on in the Trunk curl group. Then
last Friday, I’ve noticed that my lower score is under the
push-ups test in pre-test area. In our group, we help each
other to find exercises that is suitable in our area. We try
it first then if it is hard we don’t add it in our list and
they also adjust it because of my condition.
Many exercises are good at exercising our trunks but without
a proper warm-up it will be a difficult task to do. In our
warm-up exercise, we use a proper way of exercising. We
begin from head up to our feet and do some jumping jacks and
body twist. Well, it is just a warm-up, we are tired
already. Then next is our workout, at first, it is very
hard. My abdomen is aching and it is hard to lift my feet.
But I learned that if your body is started to feel some
hurt, then something is improving on your body. Then after
how may weeks of doing it, I already surpass my first score
in my pre-test. From the classification of needs
improvement, now I’m on the fair and good one. I may not be
in the classification of very good and excellent at least I
exceed doubled than my past score. Even if I go in trunk
curl group, I still improved my score in push-ups test. At
first it will be hurt but when you continuously doing it, it
will be easier.
When we want something or a goal, we need to exert some
efforts and sacrifices first before we get it. That’s my
lesson learned in doing my trunk curl routine.
PLAN OF ACTION

A health-related area of improvement would be my trunk


area. Maybe I’m one of the students who performed
significantly poorer than other students. When the first
time I do it, my muscles have begun to hurt, then my heart
is beating faster and I’m struggling to catch my breath
anymore. Until I continuously do it three times a week and
surprisingly little by little I’m improving. When the
results of the post-test came somehow improved. From the
classification of needs improvement then it became good.
Our routine exercise is not that kind of easy. Its
pushes you more your strength to reach the standard of the
exercise. But when you do it regularly with a goal you'll
improve more than before. Maybe you will be classified in
the excellent classification. About the results of my post-
test, I plan to do trunk curl exercises again to improve my
core strength and abdominal muscle. Having abs is one of my
body goals. I plan to do it on vacation so that I have a lot
of time to do it and also I have the plan to do some hiking
with my family.
