My Fitness Plan For The Fitbit App

Goal setting is an excellent way for students to track and improve upon physical fitness levels. The importance of being able to set goals and to try to achieve them is that each individual student can assess where they are and set goals to improve. Not all students can achieve the same fitness standards. Some students are born with more muscle mass or more fast twitch muscle fibers than other students. Some students have asthma or other physical difficulties that make it difficult to measure up with other students when all students are required to get a certain score on a fitness test to get an A. Using goal setting where all students can be successful by reaching their goals and showing improvement could be a positive influence for future motivation. While problem based learning can help students to learn and use goal setting (Hubball 2006), goal setting may not always help students to achieve greater fitness levels. Hill (2015) found that those students who set goals over an 18 week period did not have any significant improvement over those students that did not set goals on the pacer and push up tests. Similarly, in another study looking at the effects of goal setting on Native elders found only a weak correlation between goal setting and improvement on the amount of steps taken in a day using a pedometer (Sawchuck 2011). The problem with this study was that the researchers set the goals for the participants. It may be more important that students set their own

My decision to take the class was arguably the greatest decision I have ever made. I instantly fell in love with exercising, working out with others, and learning more about physical fitness. I took the class every year and gained more motivation with every goal I met. When senior year came

When it came to choosing my classes I had to get a class that was only one credit, however, out of all the choices given to me I decided to take PES100 because I believed that by joining a fitness walking class I will be somewhat active and in hopes also influence my eating habits to healthier choices as I begin college. By choosing this class I also had in mind goals that I planned to achieve once I began. My short term goals were to stop taking the “easy” ways to places, such as driving to places when I can walk to them. This type of activity maybe be small exercise but while also taking this class I know that my habits of choosing the lazy way will soon disappear. For my long term goals, I hope to turn my fitness walking into fitness

My Fitness goals are to decrease my resting heart rate, become more toned muscularly, become faster,touch my toes, run for longer distances and squat more weight. I would like to accomplish these goals so I can be a better athlete and feel better about myself.

For 2 years I was a member of the Central Toronto Athletic Club. CTAC is a competitive middle distance running club that trains its athletes to compete in track and field and cross country events. It is a year round athletic club that is a platform for talented people of almost all ages to train and to focus on their self-progress as an athlete. At CTAC I was encouraged to push myself to test the limits of my speed, endurance and strength and to discover what my body is truly capable of. Running was a very satisfying sport because my achievements were directly proportional to the amount of work that I put in. At CTAC, I learned discipline, dedication and perseverance. I had to balance my schoolwork with daily practices or workouts, I ran six

It can be assumed from these literature that these interventions are significantly effective. There is limited availability of research involving the use of smartphones and Fitbits in conjunction with the self-monitoring, goal setting, and feedback. More research on this subject is needed - specifically, including a larger participant pool with a wider age range would strengthen findings of the results. This would help with demonstration our group’s hypothesis of our study and the literature reviewed in this

I have leanred many things from this program. The first and foremost thing I have learned is what it means to come prepared to participate. What that means to me is when you are given a task you are expected to go home and learn all that you can about that taks and come in the next day and be ready to jump in and try the task for yourself. Taking blood pressure

You were encouraged to be more physically active. Explain the exercise program that you implemented in this course. Express your feelings about the outcomes of this program and how well you accomplished your fitness goals. In what ways did you add activity other

The second tool that has proven beneficial is the President’s Challenge. In the months prior to attending CPOA, I was sedentary, lacked motivation and required a jumpstart. The President’s Challenge did just that for me, catapulting and pushing me towards achieving my health and fitness goals. By the end of week two, I achieved the 12,000 point target. This could not have been accomplished without the support of my team or the fitness program that the academy faculty developed. The CPOA instructors led the class through comprehensive and vigorous routines, opening our minds to new methods for obtaining our goals. Routines included: swimming, spin, circuit training, TRX, interval runs and Fit Deck. As a result, it has ignited a new found passion

My smart goal My goal is to shave off twenty seconds off my mile run. My current time for my mile is nine minutes and 40 second. Goal time is nine and twenty second. My goal will be accomplished by increasing cardiovascular strength. I will measure my progress by doing a test run on Saturday see how mile had change. This goal was relevant to me because it helps improve my overall efficacy in sports and daily life. It will increase my strength and endurance make my progression in sports healthier and safer.

This semester my primary goals were to eat healthier and to maintain my 6 mile run time. My two goals required a lot of dedication and the body works class has helped me stay focus on my goals throughout the entire semester. Having body work class on Mondays helps me get my week started with a good workout, secondly having this class in general works as a reminder that being healthy and active is an everyday challenge that truly pays off in the long run.

A very fun accomplishment of mine was breaking a few records at my high school's weight room. I remember as a Freshmen I looked up at these leaderboards, which were perfectly displayed for everyone in the weight room to see, with awestruck and amazement. Compared to all the older seniors, I felt miniscule. It was to no surprise very little freshmen were actually up on the weight room's leaderboards. However this did not stop me from at least trying. My weight lifting teacher and I became very close very fast which benefited me a lot because he gave me a great amount of motivation. I also did not know how to work out properly, and he helped with that, too. Additionally, he and I developed a strict workout routine which consisted of lifts dependent

There are a lot of things I want to accomplish before my high school career has finished. Academic wise,  I would want to be able to say I got honours all four years. Also, I want to at least get one individual school award. In terms of sports, I want to win a gold medal at OFSAA for Track and Field. I want to run sub 21 seconds in the 200m and sub 46 seconds in the 400m by the end of my senior year. I would want at least one athlete of the year award under my belt as well. I would want to experience at least 3 more new countries and work at least 1 job by 2020. I don’t know for sure what I want to do when I grow up, but I am very intrigued to be a personal trainer or fitness trainer. I have a passion for sports and healthy/ active living,

I have learned many important things in this program so far. I have learned that health is a dynamic process because it is always changing. If we want to live happy and healthy life, we should change our lifestyle. I have learned about different exercise techniques, how to do it properly and how it gives beneficial effects. I want to learn more about fitness training and how I should train the people to make them healthy and fit. If I will get a chance, I want to become a personal trainer.

My expectations are slim to none only because I’m am a bit unsure on what to expect from a Perspectives of Health and Wellness course as an nonathlete person. So, I am going to keep an open mind and attempt to do all activities to the best of my ability. But, as an nonathlete person I had hope that taking this course would help me put my physical health first. And become more activity and outgoing so, that I can lead an healthier
