HLAC - Lifelong Wellness Application Paper
Write a paragraph on each of the following
1. What did you learn about “lifelong wellness” from taking this activity class?
I learned to step out of my box and try new work out routines. I have learned that in lifelong wellness this is important to achieve certain goals that you make strong, confident and more knowledgeable in how to take my workouts to a new level. Boot Camp to me is a scary thing and I learned that it is good to challenge yourself and don’t be afraid of taking your fitness to a new step.
2. How would you apply this information to your life?
I can apply the information that I have learned from the post that you have posted about nutrition and fitness and I have saved that information, websites that you had posted in my favorites tool bar. I like to have easy reference to refer to from a professional that has helped you in reaching your nutrition and fitness goals.
3. What is your intention to continue to exercise in your life and why?
I have been exercising for about 15 years and have gone back and forth on the scale. I have been taking the approach to fitness and health as wanting to make smart and knowledgeable choices when I am trying to achieve my goals. I still have 20 pounds to take off so all the information that I have learned in health I will apply to my journey in my lifelong wellness.
4. General ideas for improving this course?
I don’t have any ideas, I was so nervous and intimidated to come to this class. You made the atmosphere inviting and if we were at different levels of fitness you were ok with making the appropriate adjustments for us. If I wasn’t graduating this semester I would most defiantly take boot camp again. Thanks Aimee!!
Food/Fitness Tracker
I used spark people to track my fitness and food diary. I put my calories a day between 1200-1550, my carbs 135-252, my fat 27-60 and my protein 60-136. I have many more days, but put down what is consistent for me. I like to review what I eat and realize that I need to eat more protein, or I have hit my calories for the day. Keeping a food journal helps me realize what I am actually eating and putting in my mouth. I like adding my fitness to my diary because the program will actually give me a differential between the two and it makes me feel much better about my progress.
