I am considered to be at the low risk level for working out. I am in the normal range for BMI. I need to maintain my physical fitness for many of my fitness assessments. One of my concerns is that I did score very low in the flexibility back savor. My core strength concerns me as well. It is not that strong which is why I think I did not score very well in my balance test. My biggest concern is my lack of upper body strength. Another concern of mine is cravings for sugary foods and fatty foods. I would like to eat less fatty foods and foods high in sugar. I eat healthy foods majority of the time, but I still enjoy foods that are not healthy as well. I work out three days a week, but I would to increase my workout to four times a week. I plan on increasing my workout days by exercising right after school Monday through Thursday, because I won’t have any energy to do so after work. I have problems staying motivated to eat healthy all the time and work out in the winter. It is so cold and it makes me want to just lounge around. I still do it, but I dislike working out in the winter; I don’t enjoy it. I have great motivation when the weather is nice. I love running outside, bike riding, playing softball, playing field hockey and swimming. I feel like there are many more activities to engage in during the spring, fall and summer. I just started playing indoor field hockey, which I will count as my enjoyable exercise. This will help keep me motivated to continue to work out, so that I continue to stay in shape to perform at my best on the field.

Plan

My plan is to increase my workout days from three days a week to four days a week. I plan on working out after school, because I am always too exhausted to work out after work. I am going to do vigorous cardio for 20 minutes a day, three days a week. My exercises will include running, mountain climbers, burpees and superman/ banana P-90X exercise. This will help build my core and strength. I will count my two field hockey games that I play in on Saturdays as my enjoyable bonus exercise. To increase my muscular strength and endurance, I am going to work out at 60-70% 1RM, 3 sets of 12-15 reps. My exercises will include pushups, pull-ups, bench presses, bicep curls and chair dips for upper strength and toning. I will also do squats, walking lunges and leg presses to help with my lower body strength. To increase my flexibility, balance and strength, I will do “hatha” yoga and hamstring stretches. I also am taking a dance class at Rowan University that will help with my strength, endurance, flexibility and balance. I also like to include work out videos such as T-25 for when I am pressed for time. Those videos help motivate me as well, because sometimes I need a push from a trainer. I am going to work out with my husband, so that we can keep each other motivated.

Overall, my re-assessment scores improved! My speed, agility, and power all remained the same. My balance improved, but it is not as good as I would like it to be. I plan on participating in more yoga to improve my balance. Doing daily stretches helped improve my results for the back savor. My upper body strength improved greatly! Pushups, burpees, triceps dips, and biceps curl helped with improvement. My goal was to improve my overall strength, but mainly my upper body strength. My long term goal was to find activities to participate in during all seasons to stay active, and I was successful. Participating in this project motivated me to work out during the cold winter, so thank you. It has always been a struggle for me to continue exercise during all seasons. I challenged myself to explore activities that I could participate in without letting the weather being a factor. I participated in indoor field hockey, indoor rock climbing, dance class, and indoor volley ball to stay active. I plan on continuing to explore new activities to participate in. Now that it is nice out; I have a variety of activities to choose from. My future goal is to continue staying active and finding new activities to explore. I also want to challenge myself to try cross fit exercise to increase my strength. My husband and I are going to join a cross fit gym. I’m always up for trying new things!
