    1. My goal was to run all around Waverly (it's not very big in the first place). I wasn't up for the challenge at first but i pushed myself to go through with it. I started at my house then i ran to my grandma's house, then i ran up Vasey hill, then i ran down it and ran all the way around the block. All i needed was confidence in myself.

    2. *eat healthy foods such as fruits and
    vegetables.
    *excersize daily or make up a schedule
    *don't eat unhealthy foods
    These tips will keep you muscular and they will keep you at a reeadonalbe body weight.

    1. One of my goals that i have a achieved was to not let my feet touch the ground well i did 24 laps in twelve minutes. I achieved that goal by thinking I was in a happy place and there was no one but me in the pool but then i got kicked in the hip so i told my self that i could do it and that i was not a lair so i had to prove that i don't lie and that is how i achieved my goal.

    2. Jared here are 5 reason or thing why and how to stay in shape.
    1.Eat stuff like salad and thing with low fat that is important because that way it will keep you in shape/healthy

    1.This year in the summer I moved to a different gymnastics club in Barrie and I already had a goal on bars it was to get my kip because of the new club the equipment was different so I had to get used to the bars there and I practiced and practiced to get my kip I got rips and all but I kept trying after a while I finally got my kip i tried different techniques and accomplished my goal.

    2.Fit athletes eat healthy exercise every day but importantly they make goals . They make goals so their is something to reach for and something that will always be in their mind to make them work harder. For Jared he should eat healthy exercise and make goals for a better life.

    1. After I got cut from a spring league hockey team I wanted nothing more than to make the rep team. The tryouts were in the late summer. Over the 2 months I worked as hard as I could with hockey camps at home workouts every day. In the end I made the team and was a key player on it. i have made the rep team ever since and this year i am the first or second best player. Also one of the captions.DO THE HARD WORK!! IT WILL ALWAYS PAY OFF AND NOT JUST IN SPORTS!!!! In the begging i could barley skate and look at me now!

    2. Heath tip number one: EAT HEALTHY! You work at subway and there are many healthy choices at subway where you work.
    2. Practice: When your body tells you to stop keep going! This way the next time you practice you will be able to handle what you did last time.
    3. Stay in shape! You have to stay in shape because if you get out of shape you will get fat and not be able to do the things you use to do!

    1: A time I worked hard to get a goal was this year to be the best cross country runner I could be. To achieve this goal I had to push myself every DPA to beat my last lap record. Pushing myself did result in sore muscles for many nights until my body got used to running hard.

    2: Some tips for every day fitness are,instead of taking the elevator take the stairs. Over time this will result in the loss of a few pounds. My second tip is to try to stay away from the sweets and junk foods. To get through the cravings, find a fruit or vegetable you love and eat those instead. My third tip is if a store that you need something from is close walk to it instead of taking a car. My fourth slimming tip is to ,if possible, try to fit a run or bike ride in every day. Include family members and make it a time for fitness and bonding. My fifth and final tip to fitness is to,if you have on, play a active game on a Xbox 360 with connect. this will get you moving while having fun.

    1. One goal i had for myself is to read at least 10 books during the summer. During the summer i usually like to relax and enjoy the fact that i won't have to read or write for another 2 months. So i thought instead of just relaxing i could read a few good books and relax at the same time. At first i thought it was impossible but after i found a good book i realized that i really liked reading so instead of forcing myself to read i started reading for fun.

    Question One:
    One goal I had was to get my up rise on bars. We had just moved to a new gym in the summer this year. The equipment was different, but I overcame it. It took hard training and hard work, but i never gave up and eventually achieved my goal.

    Question Two:
    -Eat healthy food so you will stay healthy and not become fat.
    -Work your cardio. This will help you when you run a marathon so you don't loose your breath.
    -Drink a lot so you don't get dehydrated and get headaches. This will keep you healthy.
    -Stretch before you practice so you don't hurt yourself during the race.
    -Stay positive so you don't put yourself down and decide to quit.

    2. Five goals can be to...
    *Eat healthy because if you don't you are not helping yourself stay fit you are just losing weight and then regaining it.
    *Exercise everyday because by exercising you are staying fit and you are helping your body stay healthy.
    * Don't over do it with the exercising because working your body is not healthy ether.
    *Reward yourself every once and a well because if you have worked so hard. You should go out for dinner or go to a movie because you deserve it.
    *Drink lots of water because you don't want to get dehydrated. That isn't good for you ether.
