PE-185/WellnessActivity14

Reflection Paper: What did you get out of these course? Were you able to apply the information to your lifestyle? Did you meet your wellness goals? Do you plan on making any more healthy lifestyle changes in the near future?

Talk about your exercise achievements and experiences over the course of the semester. Can you see or feel any differences with yourself? Did you enjoy your workouts? What can you add/change to your workout schedule to stay motivated? Will you continue with your exercise program?

I found this course to be a rehash of many things I already knew. Its main value lay in reminding me of things that I had forgotten, or don't pay enough attention to. My wife has a masters in exercise and sports science so I get reminded quite regularly about what I'm not doing as I'm sure you do for your friends and family.

My wellness goals were fairly modest, so I did meet them. I know how much work I've got going outside of school and set goals I knew I could meet. The class did help when I missed a workout because I'd make it up to meet the requirements for the class. Something I wasn't as likely to do before.

My exercise routine was pretty much the same as normal throughout the class. The few extra cardio workouts served to remind me of how out of shape I am, and how much I hate cardio. Its really the biggest thing I need to work on. I have tried to keep my heart rate up on my walks with my dog because of the class and I intend to continue making that a component of our walks.

I'm very close to finishing my degree and would like to start a group exercise program when I'm done. I figure I've been able to dedicate this time each week to my degree so I should spend that same amount of time on other things to benefit my health and future when I'm done.
