4. Reflect on your fitness status and complete the Fitness Project Template (See the uploaded Fitness Reflection Template)
The template will walk you through considering the following questions:
What did fitness testing reveal as strengths? As areas to improve?
What did the fitness questionnaire reveal about your fitness and your daily activity level? Strengths? Areas to improve?
What ideas did the Katy Bowman article on Nutritious Movement spark about your lifestyle?
Do you get the recommended amount of physical activity every week (per 2008 Guidelines)? Does your weekly fitness routine contain exercises for strength, cardio, and flexibility?
If you are a student athlete, is your weekly fitness regime balanced? (e.g. Do you incorporate exercises for cardio, strength, core, flexibility? Do you cross-train? Do you have rest days?) Have you had a recent injury? Why? Are you at risk for over-training?
What can you do to maintain or improve your physical activity level? Remember, it’s not just about exercising, it’s also about increasing physical activity in your daily routine. What changes could you make that you could realistically incorporate in your typical week?
What health benefits could you receive by improving your physical activity level (or by continuing to be physically active if you already are)?
