I went with my friend and we both found this to be a very refreshing and thorough exercise for our thigh muscles. We did this activity over a period of couple months (January to April) and I plan on continuing it even afterwards&#8211;increasing my total distance. Cycling proved to be a big help to my knees, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles. Through cycling, I was also able to work my heart better (cardio)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The learning outcomes I achieved were: LO1, LO2, LO4<br>LO1: Identify their own strengths and develop areas for personal growth.<br>LO2: Demonstrate that they have undertaken challenges, developing new skills in the process.<br>LO4: Show commitment and perseverance in their CAS experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CAS strand catered was: A (activity)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO1: I decided that with the help of cycling, I will build my endurance and stamina. In the beginning, it was very difficult for me to cycle for even 20 mins but I practiced and now I am able to cycle for 40 mins without tiring or needing a break. This has helped me become fit and also excel in other sports that I play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO2: Cycling for long periods of time without taking a break was a very big challenge for me at the start of the experience because I am not good with cardio exercises in general (running\/jogging, for example). However, not quitting really helped and I was able to overcome this challenge by cycling regularly and taking slow steps&#8211;taking several breaks at the start to not taking breaks at all. This challenge really helped me prove to myself that I can achieve something if I put my mind to it. This helped boost my self-confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO4: Throughout this experience, I showed a lot of commitment and perseverance, and without it I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to achieve my goal. It was very challenging to actually go for cycling because it was very difficult and boring sometimes. I was required to cycle on my way to my tennis classes in the afternoon heat which made it even more worse but I persevered and went anyway. It is generally an effort for me to actually commit to things but I&#8217;m happy I committed to this and actually completed the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FINAL TAKEAWAY: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Learner profile: Well-balanced &#8211; this helped my body stay in shape along with my studies. <\/li><li>This activity brought a sense of accomplishment because I didn&#8217;t think I would be able to achieve it at the start.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A few photos of me cycling as evidence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5486\" class=\"wp-image-5486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7736-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5487\" data-link=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/?attachment_id=5487\" class=\"wp-image-5487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7736-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7736-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7736.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7737-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5488\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7737.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/?attachment_id=5488\" class=\"wp-image-5488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7737-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7737-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/classof2022.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-7737.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this CAS experience, I went cycling every alternate day for about 40 mins covering around 15 kilometres.
