Concept Fitness



During the past two months, I joined a new gym called Concept Fitness.  My brother and I joined this gym together so that we could have a special experience to bond through now that I have moved out.  Concept fitness is a circuit based gym. We do a lot of different exercises to incorporate different parts of the body.  This gym puts a heavy emphasis on rowing. Rowing is a great exercise because it uses a lot of different muscles in your body even though it is cardio-based.  The other great part of Concept Fitness is that there is a trainer that coaches you through the different moments and pushes you to always work harder.  The trainers get to know your strengths and give you the correct weight for your body.  Lastly, my favorite thing about Concept Fitness is that it is located on the water and you have a beautiful view of the ocean while you are working out.

    Hi Alyssa! I love to workout so I was instantly excited to read this post. I think its so special that you and your brother chose to do this activity together. I think the whole idea of Concept Fitness sounds amazing. I bet I would love it too. Right now I just go to the gym on my own, since Covid makes it kind of hard to take classes. I really miss taking spin classes!

    I think it's a good idea to do this workout with your brother, sand the gym itself sounds interesting. I don't like gyms or exercise other than walking, biking, and playing badminton, so I wouldn't be ab;e to manage your routine. Your interesting entry has all the necessary components and a useful link.

Remote Learning

Verbs- Post 2    This year, I was newly hired at school in Astoria, New York.   I was placed in a 4th-grade class with both general and special ed students.  My immediate reaction to this news was that I was a bit nervous.  I had never had an integrated class. My only and prior experience was with a self-contained special education class with only 12 students.  This was going to be a new and exciting experience for me and I could not wait to start working .  I later found out that this was not going to be my only challenge.  A few days later I found out from the principal that I was going to be teaching a remote learning class that was strictly online with no in-person instruction.  The requirements for remote learning include; students being on online meets every day from 8:30 to 1:55, students actively participating daily and completing online assignments, and following the same daily rules as they would in an in-school classroom.  I immediately felt nervous for both myself and t

Volleyball Fun!

 A favorite sport to play of mine is Volleyball .  I played volleyball every summer for the past 6 years.  I had a team with 10 to 15 of my good friends .  We used to play every Tuesday night on the beach .  We would drive to Long Beach around 5:30 every day. We used to take turns driving.  My friends and I would set up on the beach around our court with beach chairs and a couple of beers.  We usually played against two other teams.  We would choose 6 players to start and substitute in a new player every time we got to the serving spot. My favorite spot to be in was the front row because I was able to set to the boys on my team so that they could spike the ball over the net.  My team was not very good but we always had so much fun playing.  Vocabulary Words: Volleyball: (noun)  a game for two teams in which the object is to keep a large  ball  in motion, from side to side over a high net, by striking it with the hands before it touches the ground. Team: (noun)  a number of persons
