Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Hailyn P.!  Hailyn took our course to gain PE credits for graduation. She liked that she learned how to schedule her fitness, continually work toward her goals, and target each muscle.

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?
The thing that I like most about my Carone Learning course is the fact that I didn’t just learn how to stay fit. I also learned basic anatomy and food groups and how the body works. This will definitely be useful to me in the future.

What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?
Something that I learned in my Carone Learning course that will help me most in my life is how to make a workout schedule and stay on path to achieving my goals. I think that staying motivated to break down barriers is so satisfying, and it can be used in many contexts, not just fitness.

How has your Carone Learning course helped you improve your level of health or fitness? Carone Learning has definitely helped me improve my level of health and fitness because it was something that kept me exercising for a certain amount of time each week. It also had me target almost every single muscle in the body, and focused on stretching and strengthening.

How has your cFitness Academy instructor helped you with your course or your goals?
My cFitness Academy instructor has helped me with my course and goals by being very motivational. On all of my assignments, I would receive encouraging comments, and I would be sent emails from my instructor with tips on how to stay on track with my course, and how to perform different exercises to target all my muscle groups

Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?
I signed up for a course through cFitness Academy because I needed more physical education credits in order to graduate. This online course has been beneficial because I am definitely more aware about my fitness level and I am so much more educated about anatomy/physiology than I was before.

Here’s what Hailyn’s teacher had to say about her: 
” Hailyn has continually provided high quality work, kept in close communication with me throughout the course, and was willing to make the time to get caught up in the course when she fell behind. She’s also made great progress with her fitness and health goals throughout the course, even though it’s been a short amount of time. ”

In Hailyn’s Advanced PE course they discuss symptoms of being out of shape – here is what she said:
“Symptoms that I have experienced when being “out of shape” is the loss of breath, more cramping, fatigue, headaches, high resting heart rate, mood swings, and weak/aching muscles. Symptoms that I have experienced when being “in shape” are being able to exercise without feeling winded, lower resting heart rate, less anxiety/stress, more energy, and less cramping. In general, when someone is in shape, less stress is shown by the body while exercising. The person usually feels happier when in shape and is healthier.”

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Hailyn is pretty great and we’re proud to have her in class! Thanks, Hailyn!

Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Caroline G.!  Caroline took Individual Sports through Carone Learning. She appreciated being able to work at her own pace and make her workout something she really enjoys, which also helps her stay consistent.

What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?
I have learned how to create a sustainable workout schedule that I can follow to stay consistent with my exercising.

How has your cFitness Academy instructor helped you with your course or your goals?
This class has encouraged me to start working out regularly and add fitness into my daily routine, which helps me to increase my level of fitness. Heidi Richards always gives thoughtful responses and feedback to my assignments, helping to guide my progress through the course.

Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?
I chose to sign up for an online course because I wanted more freedom and independence in my PE class. It has helped me to be in charge of my own learning and exercise.

Here’s what Carolines’s teacher had to say about her: 
“She is excelling in the course and submitting excellent assignments consistently. She has really tried to get into her exercise routines as well and make them a fun and regular part of her life. “

In Caroline’s Individual Sports course they are asked to make a sports magazine article. Here is what she came up with:

“Get Fit the Best Way Possible!

          It is very important to live a healthy lifestyle, and one component of being healthy is fitness. However, fitness can be dangerous if you do not do it safely.

          To have a successful and safe workout, you should start with a warmup. You should make sure to warm up before every workout. Without a warmup, you could get stiff, sore, or injured.  A warmup is important for many reasons. It helps to warm up your muscles and increase your oxygen consumption and blood flow, helping your body to perform better during a workout. Warmed up muscles are less likely to tear and a warmup prevents a lactic acid buildup, helping you to work out for longer. The warmup gets your body ready for the exercise, so it should be a lower intensity of the activity you will do. If you want to run, you should start with walking. It can also include mild stretching. The warmup should be about 5-10 minutes and increase slowly in intensity.

          After the workout, a cooldown is just as important as the warmup. A cooldown allows your body to slow down. This is important so the blood doesn’t pool in your feet and continues to cycle to all the vital organs. It is also important for cooling down the muscles gradually to prevent tightening, stiffness, and soreness. Once your breathing is back to normal, you should always stretch. Stretching helps to improve and restore flexibility to contracted muscles, and after a workout is an ideal time to stretch because the muscles are still warm, so you are less likely to get injured. Stretching should be static, not bouncing, and can be held at the point of tension for 10-30 seconds. Be careful not to stretch too far and stop if it is hurting.

          Besides warming up and cooling down, there are other important safety guidelines that you should be aware of to stay safe. Never swim by yourself because you could drown. Don’t exercise outside in a thunderstorm or other bad weather. When exercising at night, it is best to wear lightly-colored or reflective clothing and bring a flashlight. You should also bring a friend with you. Make sure to use the appropriate protective gear, like a helmet when biking or rollerblading or a harness when rock climbing. Make sure to stay hydrated, drinking before, after, and during a workout. Always follow the traffic rules, and be careful and aware when working out.

          If you follow these tips, you can have the safest and most enjoyable workouts possible. Have fun and be smart!”

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Caroline is pretty great and we’re proud to have her in class! Thanks, Caroline!

Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Alyson H.!  Alyson was enrolled in Medical Terminology with us.

Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?

I wanted to take a PE course on my own terms and do activities that I enjoyed

Here’s what Aditya’s teacher had to say about him: 

“He has taken two courses with us and has continued to work hard and submit high quality work. He’s made great progress with his health and fitness goals over the last several months and continues to set new goals. He has also shown that he’s incorporated the information from the course in his routines to improve them and himself.”

In Aditya’s Advanced PE 2 they discussed routine vs variety and what the benefits of each are as well as the differences in seeing results. Here is Aditya’s response: 

“There are many benefits to both having a set routine and trying a variety of workouts. With a routine, it’s is possible to see steady, incremental improvements in performance. Also, as Joyce has noticed, it is sometimes easier to keep up with a regular fitness routine since we are creatures of habit. However, doing the same exercises over and over again, can leave our muscles adapted to these specific exercises. Thus, sometimes trying a variety of workouts (like Rita does) can help prevent this muscular adaptation. I think consistency is more important to see results, so I think having a set routine would be better. It will allow to get stronger over time and see improvements. However, to prevent muscular adaptation, it’s useful to at least switch up your routine sometimes. ”

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Aditya is pretty great and we’re proud to have him in class! Thanks, Aditya!

The radio would be important to hear any news that may be important to the safety of his family. A flashlight would be vital if it is dark or there is no power at the time. The first aid kit would be vital if a family member gets injured, they have the supplies to correctly tend to the wound. The could plan that in an event of a flood, where they all would go, proceeding they cannot go home. They also might want to consider getting flood insurance, just in case a flood would damage their home.”
