Welcome to week 2! I am an Elementary Education major in my Block Semester so I have specific weeks I am at my placement school all week and this was one of those weeks.

I did my Pilates every day after school and went on a walk on the trail behind my house every day except for Friday when it was raining.

At the start and end of my Pilates (and a little bit throughout), I do stretches to help with my flexibility. Walking the trail behind my house is also a super easy thing to do since it's right there and I like to listen to a podcast or call a friend or family member to catch up while I...

      Welcome, my name is Claire Kopetsky and this is my blog where I will be discussing and documenting two weeks of my physical activity for my WPAL course at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. By completing this log blog I will be able to have something that keeps me encouraged to consistently keep up my progress of doing physical activity in all the different areas. Keeping consistency is super important when it comes to physical activity and wellness and throughout this course, I have been able to learn a lot about this and will be able to continue learning with you, my readers, throughout my time of completing this blog. I am so happy to have you all following me along on my journey!
