Personal Wellness Planning Assessment

According to the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association, they state that people should at least exercise two and a half hours a week. Which means that people would be exercising for 30 minutes a day and five times every week. Some things that can help people exercise are jogging, dancing, biking, swimming, and much more. When people exercise, they should keep a moderate pace to keep people from passing out from overworking themselves too much. A moderate intensity means that you are working in an intermediate zone.

1.) What is the one take-away that you will carry with you as you move on from this course?

Exercise is something that many individuals often overlook, avoid, or even consider physical activities their nemesis. Many people usually denigrate exercise by saying it is too demanding on the body, or are afraid of injuries, but in reality, working out can prevent various cancer and heart disease. In the article “How Much Exercise Do I Really Need?”, Dr. Jordan Metzi explains how everyone should obtain 150 minutes of exercise per week to stay fit. These 150 minutes should be spread out throughout the week to prevent any injuries or overuse of the muscles. One may also cut the time in half by exercising at a higher intensity for only 15 minutes per day. Different activities that can be done are jogging, swimming, or even dancing. In addition, sports can contribute to helping individuals reach their top fitness.

How/Why I Chose This Topic: Exercise has always had a major contribution in my lifestyle since I was a young child. As a youth, I participated in many sports such as soccer, basketball, football, and track. Exercise was a major factor in my live especially, as a growing child. Exercise allows me to grow and strengthen my bones and muscles. As I began high school, I slowly began slacking in physical activities while trying to maintain a good GPA. The lack of physical activity has decreased the strength of bones and muscle and has made me more prone to injuries. I chose this topic to influence me into exercising more often in order to maintain a health figure and strengthen my muscle and bones.

8. If you currently don’t participate in any physical activity, start small. Start exercising for five minutes a day in your in-between time, then begin gradually building up the amount of time your physically active a day until your at or above the guidelines.

I do not partake in much physical activity. Most of my physical activity comes from transportation. The area I live in is close to most activities and necessities in my town, so instead of driving, I walk or I take the bus. Most walks I take are approximately 15 to 30 minutes. I do not do any moderate or high-intensity activity, meaning that it is impossible for me to meet the 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity or the 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity recommended each week.

There are not enough people practicing and maintaining a healthy life style and there is a need for more health education within schools.
