Why do you think it is important to set fitness goals for yourself and strive towards a high level

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

Firstly, there are many benefits to participating in physical activity. Grissom’s study of the relationship between physical fitness and learning shows that physical fitness is linked to success and achievement in the

    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.

Physical Fitness: Continue to workout on your own to maintain a healthy lifestyle and remember the health benefits of exercise and physical activity.

With all the choices and methods of exercise these days, many of us are confused about what is best and what will work for them. Hopefully I can clear up some of this confusion about fitness, and talk about what methods I feel are most effective.

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

At the start of 2016 I had been consistently achieving my fitness goals. I fell off of the wagon while trying to meet the demands of life. I wondered why my inspiration had faded. The answer came to me while reading “Be Obsessed or Be Average” by Grant Cardone; I realized that my inspiration never left, but rather, I hadn’t adjusted my goal appropriately based on my progress. After gaining this perspective, I was able to reestablish my goal. Additionally, I now know how to adequately adjust my goal when I my inspiration dwindles.

Over the last 30-40 years, the amount and intensity of exercise has gradually declined. Few children in the United States have actually met the recommended “sixty minutes of vigorous exercise” per day (Institute of Medicine, 2013). Although most states and districts have policies pertaining to physical education, these programs lack reinforcement and are often considered weak. Physical education has slowly declined throughout the years, and the the purpose of encouraging students to make physical activity part of their daily lifestyle has been lost. Recent research from Cornell University has found that the average high school gym class consists of students being active for an average of only sixteen minutes! This is nowhere near the recommended sixty minutes of physical exercise. Physical education has been pushed to the side while academics have been prioritised. P.E. classes have become overlooked by society as a whole. Students simply see it as a courses used only for socializing, or to avoid academic courses such as Algebra, Biology, and History. While teachers no longer encourage students to be active, this should not be the path in which we take physical education. The importance of exercise and physical activity goes beyond the classroom with is proven benefits in memory, cognition and attention which are skills that can be used for daily life activities. In recent times, many programs are popping up across the country to emphasize the importance of being active!

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

Why is it important to exercise at every age? What is your favorite physical fitness activity and why?

For this project or in this case activity, I chose running on the field. Almost everyday in PE we run on the field. I chose is for committing time to community, because when people run, you will stay much more fit than if you sit down and do nothing. When there is a world of people who are fit, it makes a nicer impression on people, than seeing a lazy nieborhood. I chose this over other things because other than this I have not done more for the community. So I do my job by staying fit. One problem I had to overcome, was the initial start of the year when we first started running. Back then I was out of shape, but I'm not anymore. I overcame this by pushing myself to the point where I was dead by the time we stopped running. If I could

4. How many days per week do you get 30+ minutes of physical activities. What are your favorite activities? What are your physical activity goals and how will you meet your goals (Minimum 1 goal)?

The summer after freshman year, my determination to improve my heart strength pushed me to start jogging every other day. It took many frightening instances of pushing myself to nearly fainting to find the balance between aerobic efficiency and overexertion. The thought of giving up would often surface, but my ambition drove me to push forward. By slowly increasing the distance of my runs from hundreds of yards a day to a mile a day, my cardiovascular system gradually improved. By the end of summer, I felt proud to be in the best shape of my life.

There are an endless amount of things that contribute to our development as individuals and who we are to become. From big events in our lives such as going off to college, getting married, or staring our careers to even the simplistic things such as reading a book or attending a lecture each can leave a lasting impression. One contributor many individuals might not think about when discussing this topic is the role that exercise or sports performance has played in their lives.

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.
