Gym Observation

Lets start by understanding that cultures are a melting pot of people’s beliefs, language, behaviors, values, material objects, and norms. Norms are written and non-written “expectations of behavior” that govern a certain location, place, or culture (26). These norms also vary from culture to culture meaning what is a norm in the U.S may not be a norm in India. For example, a norm in America would be tipping a waiter after a meal. Another would be acknowledging someone as you walk past him or her, typically done at work or in a public place. In all, norms are folkways, mores, taboos, and written laws that are an established standard of one’s behavior.

The contributing factors for this problem would include lack of trained staff members, repetitive exercises, and lack of individualized exercise programs for each patient. It is essentials for the facility to have properly trained staff members to be able to instruct the clients through the exercises. The exercises that the facility provides are mundane, repetitive, and uninteresting. The exercises New Community offers include an exercise video they play a few times a week for a selected group of client. There is only a select group of clients because most clients who have the capacity to participate, refuse to. Many of the parent are not cognitively aware or physically able to participate in the exercise program they offer, it would be essential to design programs that would suit each client separately. Therefore, separate groups can be created based off of the cognitive awareness and physically capability for each

The athletic training room is a very familiar place to me since I am an athlete. I have spent many hours in the training room getting prepared for games and practice with treatment, rehab, stretching, etc. It is a familiar place to me. While I was observing, I saw things that I have seen before or I have had done to me before. I observed rehab, treatment, stretching, and icing. The athletes I saw were volleyball, football, soccer, and basketball athletes.

Living a healthy lifestyle is a goal many individuals have and that could either be eating vigorous nutritious meals or being active outside in the world, going to the gym for instance. The condition of being physically fit and healthy is what fitness is. Not many people realize the importance of it until they can’t fit in their own jeans. Many individuals argue that there isn’t enough time for the gym or that there is no point in going because it can cause injury, but in reality, it’s all worth it after you realize the outcomes of working out and eating healthy. There is always time to make your life fit and healthier. In order to join this discourse community, a person must learn the typical ways people in that community interact and argue. I will demonstrate that I have entered this discourse community of fitness by obtaining necessary knowledge, establishing strong credibility, and learning to influence other members of the community to strive for more.

Friday, December 11 2015 6pm i went to the Blink gym on Utica Ave. I have been working out at this gym for about a year. I decided to observe the people that are working out at the gym, i was looking at the various people, exercises, and even the most popular area in the gym.

Central Idea: Exercise and physical activity are a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun.

This film is closed formed because the movie is formalism. 1) The director makes everything g in the scene. He plans and puts object in the space where the camera is shooting the scene. The director controls what is going to go in the scene and what will not be in the scene. One example is when they are in the streets and they get jumped and it turn out to be Cruz messing around with them. The camera is capturing what the director created to scene to be. 2) The other thing is that the director is trying to send a message. During all of the bad media attention carter goes back to the gym. The camera show a shot of Coach Carter alone in the gym and a song in the background played . You see him put his foot down on the basketball and the shot

Attitudes: The audience more than likely feels some disdain for the topic of fitness. No one likes to be reminded that they're unfit and need to get active. With this in mind, I will create a positive attitude about fitness by taking the "work" out of workout and showing how easily attainable it is

Through a combination of a brief, motivational face-to-face discussion and materials to assist the participant, the intervention was chosen to increase daily physical activity. The participant would use a baseline average of seven days to

X has continued to set time out and participate in cardio in the form of walking and plyometric style exercises. Mr. X tries to maintain his health by monitor the types of food that he eats, the time he eats, and portion sizes. It is critical for him to try his hardest to retain healthiness because he fears that it will be more challenging for him to recover from poor physical health as he continues to age. However, he continues to remain physically active to halt the deterioration of his physical health. He believes that this will allow for faster recovery following falls or serious ailments that accompany old age. Mr. X is concerned about his well-being because he does not want to be a burden on his child as he reaches late adulthood. However, this was not a concern prior to being married and having children. It is apparent to him that at this point in his life he is not invincible so values his health in order to protect himself, wife, and

I didn’t conduct an interview but I’d seen how the trainers and participants interact to each other. When analysing the behaviours I considered how the trainers delivered the topics whereas I’ve noticed that she tackling some lectures that was out of the topic and gave information to the participants that stereotype women in the society. Since the participants believe on every word of the trainers they were conditioned that the trainer's opinion about women was all true even though it is negative. The rapport created between the trainer and the participants were strong.

Adding exercises into one’s daily routines can change their whole lifestyle. Many people look at exercise as being something just for people who want to lose weight or to become muscle bound, but there are a great deal of benefits that can be received from exercising regularly. Of course gaining muscle and losing fat are the two most popular reasons that usually attract people to the gym, but they make up a small part of the potential benefits that can be achieved with exercise. There are several ways in which I have benefited in my life from exercising regularly, besides just making me bigger and stronger. It has made me become more organized, helped me make better decisions, and motivated me to take on new challenges in life.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to cram sweaty people into a confined space where they are engaged in physical activities, especially when there is a ton of testosterone being released, must have been insane. Yet, gyms continue to exist and people continue to use them. My time at the gym confirms my suspicions about humanity; people are the worst. There is a vast variety of people with different personalities in every gym, a few are the “Mirror Magnet”, the “Talkative Timmys” and the “Weights for Dates” guys.

I liked this activity, and thanks to it I was able to rediscover myself an adapt a healthier lifestyle. This activity showed me that I can do whatever I propose if I am motivated. It also showed me that I can be a persistent person. It showed me that I can be a persistent person because sometimes, when doing my fitness plan, I thought that the exercises were really hard, but I didn’t give up. I worked hard, and I persist on doing the exercises not matter how harder they were.
