Independent Component 1

Literal:

I Stephanie, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 110 hours of work.
During the time that i have been doing exercises , i have been working out usually 3 hours every Friday and Saturday, i have been doing exercises with my uncle and he has been providing me with information on the body and how it works, my uncle would take me to tennis courts to play, or take me to go play basketball, also racket all, and even after that whoever loses would do the lunges and do suicides ect. so it was just a fun way to work out.


Interpretive:

By working out with my uncle every weekend i have been able to get used to the exercises that we did and also became better at them and the sports like tennis and basketball, i was also able to increase my miles because it got easier each time we jogged or did suicides . By working with my uncle i have  learned how work out different parts of my body, like what workouts would be  best for each body part. Ex: abs, you would do sit-ups, legs you would do running , lunges, squats ect. i have been working out with my uncle alot and has been helping me have a better understanding on the body and how it works. By doing this exercises i was able to actually see the improvements in myself  and i felt that helped a lot with my senior project.


This experienced helped me answer my EQ because i was able to recongize what exercises would be best to working out each body part and realizing if you play a sport it helps you a lot as well in becoming more fit,so you don't always have to do extreme fitness workouts. My uncle always acted as if i was his trainer randoms days and he told me what he felt like working out that day, and i had to tell him the workouts he needed to do to accomplish that , and then he would tell me if i did good or not after the whole workouts. Some days my cousins would come with us to go workout and  they wouldn't do as much as or things were harder for them and i learned that not everyone is able to do something at the same time, they will learn on there own time and what that taught me was to have patients because you could make a client go away if they are not comfortable with you, so you have to know the pace of how the persons works , and work with it.
