PE Project - The explanation

First of all, we have a video of a woman going up and down stairs many ways. You may think she's crazy, as she doesn't do it as the usual way. However, she's not. She's doing some exercise to train her biceps and triceps mainly, and other muscles of the legs.

  • In the first exercise she does, we can see her going downstairs putting one hand on each steap, as we normally do when we go down and ups stairs but using her hands. For keeping the balance, she lean her toes on the steps behind her. If we are doing this exercise, as she says in the end, we have to finish in a plank position; is better for avoiding back injures and doing it let us finishe in a more confortable way.
  • The next exercise is the same as the one before, but this time we have to lean  both hands in the steps before passing to the next step.
  • The third exercise we have in the video make us go upstairs using our arms and bottom. We firste have to sit down in a step as if we were sit on a chair, and then use our arms to elevate our bottom and after that move it to the next step. Then recover the prior position by moving the legs and repeat it untill we got to the end of the staircase. As she says in the video, we should go for speed; it make us work harder and concentrate more on what we are doing.
  • Now this exercise is called "Spiderman walks". It's a very good name for, as it imitates how Spiderman does actually walk. To do it, we have to do basically the same as in the first exercise but this time going upstairs. When doing it, remember to touch the elbow with the lead knee.
  • The next one, we have to say, that it's a bit difficult. We have to go upstairs the opposite way that in exercise one: first the toes and then the hands.
  • To finish explaining the video, here we haave the last exercise. Agian like in exercise number one, but this time instead of leaning your toes, you have to lean your knees. The creator of the video says taht it is more difficult than it seems, but me and my partners wouldn't say that, to be honest.
Now let's talk about Crossfit. When we first so the page, we didn't have a clue of what it was about. So we clicked on the "What is Crossfit?" section, and we then discovered that the page a training page very famaous that is used even in some Army academies. Everyday, the updute the main page with a list of exercises to do. Today's list is not a very good example as it says "Rest Day", but, yestarday's asked us to do a serie of 300 metres runnig and 135 lb push press several times. That's Crossfit, a page to make you do exercise and get fit.

  1. Hey, it is Michael. You did a very good job. There are some spelling mistakes in there. It is not a big problem, but if you were to copy paste you blog into Microsoft Word or another program first, it would fix it for you. Also, be careful about confusing the words ´´in´´ and ´´on.´´ In is being inside of something. She is not ´´in´´ the stairs but ´´on´´ them. It is a very easy mistake to make since the words are so similar. Here are a few corrections.

    Paragraph 1
    ...a woman going up and down stairs ´´in´´ many ways.

    ...she's crazy, ´´since´´ she doesn't do it...

    ...some exercise´´s´´ to train her biceps and triceps

    ...´´it is´´ better for avoiding back injures and doing it ´´lets´´ us ´´finish´´ in a more ´´comfortable´´ way.

    Paragraph 3
    lean both hands ´´on´´ the steps
