Hey guys! For reflection 5 (weeks 9&10) I chose to watch to videos that are very different!
The first video I watched was about the Versus Virtual Fitness Trainer. This trainer is unlike any other workout!
- It is the number one provider of interactive fitness gaming products
- It has a smart weight rack and it can sense when weights are removed from the rack
- It provides very competitive workouts
- It tracks your workout on your phone so when you are done you can look at your results
- It is also a great workout for any age! Kids love it!
The next video I watched was about the co- founder Pat Quinn of the ALS Ice bucket challenge.
Pat was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and shares that the progression is very slow. He states that his arms have become weak but says that a lot of people have lost their ability to speak early on and are in wheelchairs, so he is thankful that is not him
He got the idea of the ice bucket challenge from a golfer in Florida who did it for his cousin and their family and that the golfer is close to his family. Pat picked up on this and became really active in the community. He shares that the next 48 hours on social media was crazy.
I remember I did the Ice Bucket challenge when I was in middle school and posted it on social media as well as everyone else. Recently my boyfriends best friend just died from ALS, so I am aware what ALS is. Pat mentioned that there needs to be more research that goes into ALS.
