Describe something new that you learned. How did you learn it?: Over the past couple of weeks, while following our mentor we have acquired a varied skill set. The main skill we have learned is to pick choreography and songs for all the workout routines. Though this task may appear easy, it takes hours to come up with a level 2 climber routine. First, our mentor taught us how to differentiate between the 4 different levels of rise nation workouts. Level 1 consists of simple patterns and there is only one pattern per song. The level 1 classes are a maximum of 30 minutes and switch between a mid-climb and long climb. The mid-climb is the way the climbers rest in between different patterns. Level 2 can consist of 3 different patterns in one song. In the level 2 class, the climbers still change between a high and mid-climb. To add on, level 2 climbs always include one slow song where the climbers will put the climbing machine on full resistance and do an entire pattern in a squat position. The level 2 climbs also include 2 different sprints. Level 3 classes are entirely in the high climb position where the stretch of the climber is over 12 inches. The higher the climb the more climbing distance you would theoretically cover. Then there is also the Mile High Club climb which is 50 minutes in a high climb position. There very different characteristics of the different levels are very important when choosing music and choreography. As we learned how to pick popular music that people can work out to, we made 5 count and 3 count combinations of high and low climbs to go along with the rhythm. We made 2 different class choreography, one for a level 2 class and another for a level 1 class. Overall I learned the difference between beat and rhythm and how when working out we can hear the rhythm better therefore it is best to make counts to the rhythm.
As a reflection on my time during this project, I think about the various opinions and perspectives I’ve absorbed. from people who believed fitness was the most important part of health to people who believed nutrition was the most important part of health. I gained a better understanding of how important our experiences are to the shaping of our perspective of health. after interviewing so many professionals in the field I’ve decided that I think all three pillars, nutrition, fitness, and mindset are all important components to overall health. within my life, I’ve noticed my health was lowest when I left out one part of the three pillars. but I also realize that it’s very difficult to focus on all three pillars because outside influences heavily focus on only one. this is why one of my biggest takeaways was the importance of community. even though all instructors had different goals within Health a common theme that I saw was community. Group classes all were based on encouragement. w...
