1. I was feeling a bit nervous in the group exercise class by myself at first, as I was a bit unsure about what to say to the patients initially and trying to accommadate for all different levels of patients. I found it hard when the patients were asking me what we were going to do today in the exercise class when I didnt really know myself. After talking for a while I was feeling more confortable, it also helped when there were a few patients who were very friendly.
2. Once the group started, I was happy with the way that I became more confortable with the patients. At the end of the class we played a game throwing around a balloon and I became more involved with organising the activity rather than ust participating.
After the group activity session I was walking patients to bingo and on my way back I found a man who was a bit lost and so I walked him to where he was meant to be and I didnt get lost on my way back!
If i was to redo the exercise class I think I would try and assist patients more, rather than just participating, but that will come with time, since this was my first day
Next time we run this exercise class it will not be as rushed, since this class had to cut short due to "big bingo"
Towards the end of the exercise class I was feeling more confident than I was when I started
3. In future exercise classes I hope to contribute more in running them. I would like to correct the patients techniques more, as the aim was just to get them moving rather than with correct technique
4. For my first day I think that today has gone well, It was good to just be able to talk to patients and let them get to know me and get to know them
5. I can be more active in what I do and be more confident
