Overload is a principle in fitness that helps make us stronger!
The Overload Principle is putting increased stress or load on the body in order to stimulate a training adaptation (increase in strength or endurance). In order for this increase in strength or endurance to occur, we need to work.
Since you are earning a grade for overloading your body each Tuesday & Thursday, what are some things, I as the teacher, should look for to see if you are overloading your body?

you should look for hot faces, sweat, and form. If you are doing the activities right then you should be tired. However more into the year we should be stronger and have built up our endurance so these activities would not be as hard.

the teacher should look to see if we are actually working, if we are putting as mush effort as we can into what we are doing, and if we are getting any results from what we are doing, i.e. sweating, tiredness, etc.
Hey Lauren,
What does a hot face look like?
Rachel,
I fixed your grade on ed-line for blog #3
Mr. Kirk
I think you should see if we're sweating and we're not slacking off.
You should look for good form, sweat and heavy breathing. At my karate school, I was taught that "if its easy, you're probably doing something wrong." When done correctly, an exercise should leave the one doing it somewhat tired.

You should look for red and sweaty faces. You should also look to see how many activities we initial on the list to see what we have doing to get tired.
i have no idea! just like you're tired and hot and then you know ur doing it right. haha
You should looks for red faces and sweat. You should also look to see if they are doing the activity correctly. You should look for if the are putting in effort.

In order to ensure that we are utilising the Overload Principle and putting all our effort into our activities, check to see if we, at the end of class, have pink faces and perspiration running down our foreheads (nearly drowning in it), are panting as if we've held our breaths underwater for an hour (hyperventilating, more like), are slouching in exhaustion as if we're in desperate need of walkers (and willing to steal them from retirement homes), and are generally looking like death.
Hmm... I suppose that's going a bit TOO far... It makes this class seem like child abuse... Not that it is... Ahem. Ciao.

P.S. This was an attempt at humor. If you would like a less hyperbolical response, I would be happy to provide one.
David Harvey
you should look for sweating, panting breathing and being tired. but over time, we will not be as tired so the activities should intenseify!
and whats the funny part about david harvey grear? I DONT GET IT!
Now that I think about it, there is nothing funny about David Harvey Grear

If we are overloading our bodies then we should be tired and sweating if its a hot day. In order to overload our bodies we have the comlete the excercises accurately. So, you can also look for form and you can see if you think were either running as hard as we an, or mabey lifting as much as we can. If we are than we should be overloadig our bodies.
Mchelle Chen
the teacher should see if we are sweating, breathing hard, clothes wet, body not straight, tired.
Josephine Wu
As the teacher, you should make sure that we aren't just standing around during fitness days. At the end, you should see red faces, hear panting breaths and see people sweating. Also, you should see good form, to make sure that we are truly working our muscles correctly. As we get further into the year, you should also see improvement, and less red faces... etc.
o and on a blog 2 it says i have an e but i know i did it... could you double check for me?
Josephine Wu
Josephine,
Your grade has been fixed. Have a great weekend!
You should look for heavy breathing, hard work, and sweating, also you should smell b.o. Though, hard work doesn't mean everything, even is a student isn't trying all you have, if they are sweating and breathing heavily then they are working hard enough. Can I make up all the blogs I've missed?
Joshua Kim
Look for sweat, tired faces, and heavy breathing. But most importantly you should look for effort from all the students. If they're not tired, then either the Overload wasn't too hard, or they didn't put effort into it, but probably the second choice.
Helena Farhi
we should look as though we are pushing ourselves to our limit. If we are sweaty and breathing harder by the end of the activity, then we have worked hard. We can also check our pulses to see if our heartrates are being affected by the workout.
oh . . .and also im pretty sure i did blog 2 but it says on edline i have a zero for it . . . could you check it mr kirk?
-helena farhi
Helena,
Great point about heart rate. That is a great way to judge intensity of work.
Adam,
It is too late to make up the first 4 blogs, but you do get credit for this one.
When someone is using the overlode principle, they should be hot, sweaty, and tired. You could easily see the difference between someone who just pushed them selves for 45 minutes and someone who slacked off. So to tell if they worked hard enough, just quickly examin the look of their faces.
-Julia Farkas
The teacher should look for red faces, sweat, panting, tiredness, etc... But as the year wears on we will be strong enough to be able to endure harder workouts.

Yiwen-i really don't get it. Also, why use French instead of English. Furthermore, your grammar is incorrect.
You should look for people that are red in the face, sweating like crazy (though it may just be because of the temperature outside) and breathing. The people that overload their bodies will be breathing faster than the people who don't.
Erica Sklaver
to see if we are overloading our body the teacher should look to see if we are pushing ourselves, and should see sweat and hot/red faces, panting etc. after many of these fitness days we should be faster and stronger and should push us even more
Look for sweat, red faces and weakneness. Has Hassaan said, look for actual effort and try not to turn your back on some people during warmups.
-Justin Muste
Nina Rosenberg
You should look for sweat, red faces and perfect form. I think you should make us push ourselves harder. Over time as the activities get easier you should increase their intensity.
mr.krk you should be checking if we are sweating and also for red faces and also see if we are very tired then you cna tell if we are working hard enough but later on in the year we will have to work harer as our bodies grow stronger.
Derek Jensen
you should look for red faces, breathing heavily, fast heart rate, also the teacher should be paying attention to the students to see if they are actually duing. By the end of the year these hard activities would incresae our strenght and endurance so it be as hard
Sherry Liu
To confirm that we have truly been overloading our bodies, you should check for red and sweaty faces, fatigue, increased heart rates, and heavy breathing. Also, the following day, students might be a little stiff and sore from the previous day's workout. Every time we are overloaded with harder workouts, our bodies should get stronger/faster, and the next time, we should be able to withstand the same workout more easily. Therefore, you should raise the intensity of each workout in order for us to improve.
Kevin Gao
when someone is working hard they should be sweting / breathing hard and tired. you cna tell by looking at their faces.
You should see us breathing hard with sweat falling from our faces and tired with our muscles aching. Form is also important so that you don't hurt yourself and work the muscle that you want to work.
Sam Reiswig
Signs of overload include sweaty body, damp shirts, heavy breathing and facial expressions showing tiredness.
If you are the overloaded one, expect your body to feel heavy and your head to sometimes feel weezy if you are truly overloaded.
After being overloaded, a cold water bath will help prevent inflammations and sore muscles.
-Michael May
You should look for people sweating and people doing the work not just standing there
You sould see perspiration, people constantly pushing themselves, red faces, tired people. Towards the end of the year, you should see improvement, endurance, and happy faces.We should emphasize not to overload our body to much but constantly little by little until we accomplish our goal of fitness.
kevin yan
i think you should dissolve the worst team in both basketball and soccer or wait until after floor hockey and dissolve the worst team then. dissolving a team on a soccer record alone is placing too much emphasis on just one sport. since some of us that were successful at basketball werent at soccer i think that you should not base your dissolving decision on it alone.
when will there be a new one posted?
i dont know if it is too late for me too answer this but...
It might be too much for a teacher to do, but you could watch each student and make sure that they are actually working out. If they are just standing around then they can't possibly be overloading themselves. Sweating and looking very tired are major signs that we are overloading our bodies.

I think you should make sure that no one is slacking off, and at the end of classes you should be able to tell how hard a student worked by how tired they may look, or how hard they're breathing.
