Question : How have you become an effective learner?
Answer : I have observed Sherri teach the class 2 different times showing two routines. during one of the classes I took notes of the class and wrote down the techniques, combinations and songs that she used to motivate the class.


Question : Post evidence
Answer : My evidence is in my last research check showing the notes that I took during her class


Question : Ways to improve
Answer : The ways I can improve is to maybe help teach the class, such as the floor exercises which would be the easiest part to conduct. Also, I can help conduct the warm up which is quick stretches using her usual routine. Other then that, I have done the set ups for her, clean up the room and also learned to do the sound equipment. So I would have to talk to her on ways that I can help her.

Place of service learning?
LA Fitness in Diamond Bar

Summary :
In my service learning I am also doing my second independent task which is taking a cardio kickboxing class. 15 minutes before they class I need to make sure the room is clean by stacking the aerobic steps in the correct place, making sure the mats are in order, the weights and the weight balls are where they need to be. Also, I need to put the sound system together in so the mic and the music can play for the class on the speakers. After taking the class I make sure everyone in the class stacks the mats nicely and back where they are supposed to be.

What is the most important thing I learned :
It isn't all from service learning but I did learn that instructing a cardio kickboxing class takes a lot of energy, stamina and muscles! Sherri does the class with almost no breaks, singing along with the music and doing the class with the most energy out of everyone!
