My Experience At Valentines Day

Often many people dwell on their failures and dream about a time where they can go back in time and do things differently. I recall the summer transitioning from junior year to my last year in high school, I aspired to be thin like the models you see on TV or in any of the magazines. I decided to take it upon myself to exercise daily and limit my diet to healthier options. This method however, was taking too long for me, I needed to find a quicker way. My obsession with perfection took over and I began watching my caloric intake too closely. I consumed 500 calories a day and advanced my workout routine. I ran 2 miles in the morning, went home to sleep for a couple of hours and then went to Volleyball practice followed by another run. Eventually, after three months or so I grew so tired and so weak that I had to cut down on my workouts.

Fitness has grown to a multibillion dollar industry. The idea of fitness has influenced millions of lives whether the correlation was as a career, lifestyle, or an occasional hobby. People globally compete in bodybuilding, physique, and powerlifting meets earning thousands of dollars depending on their successes. Though they seem pointless at first, even the sixty second long infomercials on television advertising the new and approved anywhere gym equipment or perfect diet has made the viewer at least contemplate their health. People often confuse fitness as a sole concept of either exercising or dieting, but fitness depends immensely on both. Some people in the fitness industry manipulate diet and exercise to create the body stature they desire.

As the famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.” During my 3 years of training, I learned much about what it takes to make an out of shape person to a healthy and fit person with just the right decisions and knowledge. For instance, I learned the importance of consistency, in which in order to be actively fit and healthy, there must be consistency. As a young fitness fanatic, I

Throughout this paper you will find that it is going to be discussing many things. Some of those things are to describe a current health problem or nutritional need that I may be experiencing, four nutritional or physical exercise goals, the actions taken to meet each goal, the anticipated setbacks or difficulties and the approaches to overcome them, the outcomes by which to measure success, evidence of the plans effectiveness by addressing the identified problem or need, and the evaluation of potential health risks that may develop if the plan is not implemented. So basically this paper is going to be about a realistic nutrition and exercise plan that best suits me.

This behavior change project has become a huge part of my everyday life. I lost sight of how important staying in shape affects my overall mental state along with my physical well-being. Having a life that consists of so many activities such as going to school, working, and maintaining a full and happy relationship with the people I care about is hard to balance with just making time for myself. That is why keeping this three day a week workout regime over the past five weeks has been so important; it made me realize that I can make time to focus on just working on myself, and in turn, improve all other aspects of my life. Realizing of course that there are many people in this world that have real life health problems that they seek professional help for. These changes in their lives require a system or a theory that must be applied to develop a strategic an organized way to regulate or change their behavior.

Honestly the past couple of days, I did not work out. Stayed indoors most of the time completing unfinished work and studying for upcoming tests. However, the reason for not working out is because there is a theory I want to attempt this week. Challenges I faced over the past couple of days were visuals for Marching Band. Okay, there are some people in the world who says that Marching Band ain't a sport. In my opinion, a sport is defined by physical exertion output (endurance), skills, rules, and competition. Though that is just my opinion, others have their own definition of what is considered a sport. Overall, since I have done absolutely nothing for the past week. Adjustments are necessary for the upcoming week. Requiring me to exercise daily and comparing the data I have collected from the past couple of days. The progress that I and Wendy have remarkably benefited us in terms of physical appearance. Our endurance and determination to keep pushing forward have increased exponentially.

As a member of the ABC Athletic Club, it is a pleasure to be part of this fitness world. This club is much more than a workout facility, it also includes the benefits of strengthening the mind while building a healthy body. With access to the right equipment and personal trainers, this ensures that the exercise programs fit an individual’s needs. Also, with the use of proper techniques provided, this facility provides a safe and fun environment but includes the assurance that one can get the most out of each exercise routine and make it an enjoyable place to be. Having these choices has helped provide me the best exercise plan for my own personal fitness goals.

    While working on this project I  have learned that physical fitness does not come easy. It takes commitment, time, and will power. Without these you can’t obtain physical fitness or maintain it. Physical fitness is not easy to gain nor is it easy to keep it. If it was then everyone would do it, but those who stick to their plan will gain enormous rewards and their life will be significantly better.

For the health behavior change interview assignment, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jackie B. After spending a summer abroad, Jackie’s primary desire is to get into the habit of going to the gym at least three times per week. Jackie lives a pretty active lifestyle, however, between going to school and working, life can become a bit overwhelming. Working out is the mechanism that helps Jackie manage her stress.

In the film Valentine’s Day, directed by Garry Marshall, it focuses on intimate interpersonal relationships on Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is celebrated on the fourteenth of February every year and although Valentine’s Day isn’t a national holiday, it is celebrated worldwide. Knapp’s developmental model is portrayed by many of the couples seen in the film. In this film, age plays a role in the movie to present the differences in how they show the intimacy of their relationships. The Johari window is also used inside of the film to reveal some secrets of many couples. In the film, relationships of many couples are shown to go through heartbreak or the beginnings of a new relationship.

In regards to the Physical activity report, I had a hard time making sure that it was accurate. There were so many choices to select from but I tried to match what I did as accurately as possible. For this report I was able to meet and exceed the recommended amount of exercise. At the beginning of the month my husband and I made the decision to join the local GYM instead of working out at home. My goal will be to commit to at working out at least five times a week for an

Okay, let us get you guys up to speed! So for the past few days and the week before that. I began an experiment or a theory if you will about the differences of having a daily routine versus doing absolutely nothing. The experiment that was conducted ultimately lasted for about two weeks. The data that I was able to attain was expected. Over the past couple of days, I had 4 practices and a competition for marching band, unlike the other week where we did only visuals (which wasn't physical at all). It comprises of a lap around the track, lower abdominal and leg workouts to strengthen the core and stretch out the body. The goal was to do as many as we could do during that time period, but for the data to be consistent. On Sundays around six o'clock where the temperature is colder, I repeated the same workout with the equipment I own in order to get data from the time I was lazy and working out daily. However, just counting how many times I can do a pushup or

An essential part of living a healthy life and managing a healthy body is participating in routine weight training. Many times throughout our lives we find ourselves eating unhealthy and forgetting that being active daily is essential to our health. As individuals go through their lives, they may consider going on a diet but in doing so, they are under the impression that eating healthy is the only essential aspect of staying healthy. This is incorrect due to the fact that routine weight training is what tones up the body, keeps the body in shape, and increases physical fitness overall. Along with these things, routine

I would like to lower my body fat percentage and build lean muscle mass in my upper and lower body using a 3-day split program. I would like to increase intensity and repetitions gradually in order to create sustainable progress. Increasing intensity and repetitions too rapidly will not create sustainable results for me. Additionally, I would like to ensure that strength training is supplemented with cardiovascular exercise (blue days in the chart) and rest days (grey days in the chart).

Running the same routine over and over since August 14, 2004 and it is now October 6th. Bodies are aching, feet are sore and we all feel as though
