My Physical Fitness Assignment

My Fitness Pal is a very reliable tool that has helped me track my macro nutrients onto my phone and has helped me lose weight.The app has many features that helped me balance my diet, like the nutrition tab. The nutrition tab shows your calories, nutrients and macros. This is very helpful because it helps me see what i’m eating and allows me to replace things that may not be good for my health. For example, if i’m eating an unhealthy amount of macaroni and cheese it tells me that this food is high in saturated and carbs, it’ll then give me a recommended replacement food that is much healthier, such as a Tomato Soup or a Rice Bowl.

I have chosen to study athletic training because it allows me to still participate and be involved in sports as well as be able to help athletes recover from injuries while gaining valuable clinical experience for physical therapy. Growing up I have always had a love for sports but I have not been graced with the abilities to become a professional athlete. With my love for sports as a youth I watched a lot on television with my father and I would see athletes get injured and medical personnel rush out to their aid. When I found out they were athletic trainers and physical therapists, I knew that is what I wanted to do when I grew up. All throughout high school I was involved in sports and unfortunately had an injury or two. Although our school did not have an athletic trainer, I went to many different specialists and

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

Prior to designing the training program, fitness testing was completed. This tested the main fitness components that would be applied in physical activity. It was important that this was done in order to find my strengths and weaknesses

When I was applying to colleges, I was confident in my decision to major in Athletic Training. Science had always been my favorite subject in school and becoming an Athletic Trainer was a way to combine my love of science with my love of sports. I knew I wanted to have a career in which I could help people. Working with athletes to provide preventative services, emergency care, therapy and rehabilitation seemed the perfect way to combine all of those interests. Growing up, sports were always a big part of my life.

Choosing a vocation can be a daunting task. With the world ever-evolving, one may come across a new attractive career every year. In order to ensure optimal job satisfaction, it is vital to educate oneself about every alluring prospect prior to committing. Simple factors like the time commitment and salary can mean the difference between a content existence and a miserable one.

    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.

First, on a daily basis of my high school years (my Junior year to be exact), I would come home with exhaustion or be overstressed mainly because of my weight training and AP US course. The reason I had chosen weight training course was because I wanted to be in good health and for my AP course I had chose it because I wanted to challenge myself. In my training course is similar to a regular physical education classes, but more intense as you are working out every day some days with weights and only with cardio which I love, but I would also be competitive, especially in running

In this situation, I learned that I am capable of handling so much more than I think. My behavior post-workout is evidence that my intervention plan works. For every workout that I completed, I felt more motivated to keep going. Every moment of success meant that I needed to push myself so that I stay consistent with my workouts. Both my physical and emotional well-being were elevated because I believed in

Today’s task is to conduct 4 For the Core, Military Movement Drills 1 & 2, and Hill Repeats. IAW TC 3-22.20.

Students often have no place to go after school so they have to ride the bus home to be by themselves until their parents get home. Being alone can be dangerous, especially for young children. Project Get Fit would be a beneficial after school program that would give students somewhere safe to go while participating in fun activities to lose weight and get the obesity rate in Wayne County down.

On top of having to wake up on a Monday morning, the gym students of Wilson Southern Middle school hear “Alright guys it's time for the mile,” from their gym teachers. Kvetching and groaning is the wonderful reaction the teachers get when they enter the gym. Every semester Wilson Southern’s gym class is required to complete the mile as part of their fitness testing. 80% of the students surveyed at Wilson Sothern don’t enjoy doing the mile. They say the reason for this is because “it’s too much work”.After talking to the gym teachers, they explained that the traditional middle school girl student’s weight should be around ninety- five pounds to 115 pound for girls and for boys eighty-eight pounds to 110 pounds. That is not the case here. The teachers have been very worried about the student’s health as well as the state law requirements. Therefore, every student is required to complete a mile as a part of their fitness testing. This mile run was not made to torture the students but to prevent them from any health issues that could present them in the future.

There are a wide array of benefits aligned with physical activity and exercise. Exercising can impact a person’s mood and psychological personality as well as improve their immune system and overall wellbeing. Throughout the essay, the psychological benefits of exercise, the benefits of exercise on the human body and the recommended level of physical activity for an average sized adult will be investigated and explained. Exercise is a vital aspect of a person’s daily regime and should be included within all lifestyles.

Research shows that a lack of self confidence in ability to perform a particular exercise or workout can be a major deterrent in starting any type of fitness program. This sense of self-efficacy is a psychological barrier that affects the ability to self-motivate. The fear of ridicule at an inability to execute the workout properly has a negative effect on self-worth and self-esteem. A feeling of not being able to follow through with a long term program is also a result of low self-efficacy. Having a fear of not being able

The articles by Erikson et al., Gatz, Korol et al., and Draganski et al. explore the concept of increased physical activity and/or mental activity having effects on the cognitive function and development or deterioration of the brain as we age. Although I agree that physical exercise is critical in increasing cognitive function because of the health benefits it provides, as well as the increased blood flow and circulation throughout the body, I ultimately believe that a healthy brain is not achieved solely by physical exercise or mental exercise, but both. I think there is a link between physical and mental exercise, and that the combination of these two activities creates higher cognitive functioning of the mind as well as the body. The mind and body come together and meet to make an overall healthy individual.
