New York Giants

Hi students!
The NY Giants football team achieved their first win of the season Monday night against the St. Louis Rams. They did not play the greatest game, but they won anyway. The NY Jets are currently 2-0 and the Giants are 1-1 after Week 2 of the football season. Stay tuned as each team makes the playoff push!

Weight Training

I have recently started a weight training program where I go to the gym about 4 times per week and lift weights. It is important to give your muscles a couple of days of rest after lifting; so I lift with my lower body muscles and then rest them for a couple of days. While I am resting my lower body I lift with my upper body muscles!

Looking forward to fitness unit testing next week!

Flag Football

Hi students,
Again I am excited to be back and this looks like it is going to be a great school year. This past Saturday my informal flag football league started with my friends, something we will be playing here at School 7. My muscles became very sore when I woke up the next morning because I had just used them in a way they were not used to. I am very active, but I was moving at speeds and in directions that my body has not experienced in a while. You may experience some muscle soreness as we start our Physical Education Fitness Unit, but it will start to lessen as your body gets used to it!

PS- If this really confused you, ask me about it during class!

Welcome Back!

It is the the first day of school and I am so excited to see everyone back and ready to work hard. I am especially excited for the physical education and health classes this year, as we will be taking our programs to a new level. This will be a year of increased skill development, cognitive learning and competition. I will be constantly updating the blog this year with my fitness plans and competitions, information pertaining to class, and extra credit opportunitites!

Welcome Back,
Mr. Goldstein
