Family members will beam with pride that I am an esteemed member of the Kelsey Kazoo Orchestra. I hope that the Kelsey Kazoo Orchestra will benefit from my great kazoo-playing talent.

6. Barriers: A kazoo costs up to $10, and I do not have a job to get the money to buy one. I do not know how to play the kazoo, so I will need lessons. Kazoo lessons are expensive; again, I do not have a job. I have a serious case of asthma, which could be a problem when playing a wind instrument. The Kelsey Kazoo Orchestra is located in Kelsey, 400 miles away.

7. Solution: I will begin practicing on a kazoo I took from my daughter that she got from a birthday party. I will then watch Internet videos on how to play the kazoo.

10. Type of goal: I believe that this is a professional goal; however, I would also have to categorize this as personal due to the emotional experience of creating.

11. Purpose of goal: If I am ever lucky enough to achieve this goal, I will be able to spend my time creating—not producing something to satisfy others, but satisfying my creative aspirations.

12. Major benefit to me: Self-meaning, inner satisfaction, self-expression, self-accomplishment, and eliminating frustration in my life

13. Benefit to others: I believe that I will be a happier, more contented person by being able to express myself through my art. This will help family and personal relationships because I will ultimately be doing what I aspire to do.

4. Major benefit to me: I will be able to pay off my student loans and purchase everything I want.

7. Solution: I will overcome the time barrier by learning to be more patient. I will try to realize that winning the lottery is not something that happens overnight and that most people play for years before they win. As far as money goes, I will set aside money every two weeks just for playing the lottery.

8. Action milestones: For the next 10 years, I will calculate the amount of money I have won each year. I hope for the amount of money I have won to increase each year I play.

Goal Action Plan

1. Goal: I will complete a 5K race.

3. Purpose of goal: Training for the race will provide consistent exercise and health benefits. It will also serve as a habit-building activity that I can integrate into my daily routine.

4. Major benefit to me: Improved cardiovascular health, improved overall fitness, and reduction of stress from regular physical fitness activity

5. Benefit to others: They will get to cheer for me, which makes them all happy. Also, I hope to spread the desire to exercise to my family.

6. Barriers: I am pretty lazy. Just because I want to do something doesn’t mean I actually will. I might just think about it a lot instead, while I sit around and surf the Internet. I am also often tired and will use that as an excuse not to be active. I do not like to sweat, so that could be a problem since this is exercise.

7. Solution: I was planning on setting up a motivation–bribery system that rewarded me for every tiny little thing, since I respond best to external motivation. I am also going to drink a lot of caffeine to keep me from being tired. I am going to get Botox injections so I don’t sweat and then cannot use that excuse anymore.

8. Action milestones: I am going to use a training program, which is set up to get you ready to run a 5K in 9 weeks. Each week has a different fitness goal and walking or running intervals, such as jogging every other day each week, increasing distance until 1K is reached, and increasing distance by 1K per week.

9. Overall target date: 12 weeks from the start date: This includes 9 weeks for the training program and 3 more weeks to make the 5K distance a habit. • Goal Evaluation Scenario 10

Name: Omar

Gender: Male

Age: Late 50s

Description: Omar is single and works as a sales manager for a small medical supply company. He plays string bass in a local volunteer orchestra and in a band that often performs weekend gigs in the area.

Goal: Omar feels he has neglected his health and is ready to make changes in his life. He wants to start by losing 20 pounds.

Goal Action Plan

1. Goal: Lose 20 pounds through a doctor-monitored weight-loss program.

2. Type of goal: Personal and health-related

3. Purpose of goal: The purpose of this goal is to decrease my body fat percentage and to create a healthier lifestyle.

4. Major benefit to me: Losing the weight will be beneficial for my overall health—specifically, heart health, increased energy, and self-esteem.

5. Benefit to others: My family will benefit because they will also be eating healthier and becoming more active. My company is promoting healthy weight loss in a big campaign.

6. Barriers: Some barriers will be temptations, such as when sweets are served at work. Going out to eat is also a temptation. I will need to monitor my food selection to stay on track with stabilizing my weight. I will also need to overcome my past experiences of trying—and failing—to lose weight.

7. Solution: I need to think about this as different from my past weight-loss attempts by focusing on being healthy rather than just on losing weight. This should help overcome the issue of past failures. I also need to set myself up for success by buying only healthy foods for the house and purposely limiting serving sizes when I eat out.

8. Action milestones: I will weigh myself weekly just to make sure I am on track. Every 2 weeks, I will get a new BMI taken. I will also write down daily what I eat and track each lost pound. Once per month, I will reassess my progress and make further adjustments.

9. Overall target date: I would like to achieve my weight loss and healthier-eating goals within 12 weeks of starting this program.

Pilates

...Department of Psychology Course: Between Psychology and Medicine Paper on: Medical and Psychological processes in Pilates Presented by: Hani Ovadia Introduction Psychological and physical health is greatly affected by behavior, similarly, different patterns of behavior derive from psychological and physical health (Folkins 1981). Consequently, both psychotherapists and doctors recommend to their patients to participate in activities that advance a healthier lifestyle (Bull 1995).

3 Day Exercise Analysis

...habits are going to the gym at least three days per week for one hour. I focus primarily on cardio because it helps to burn fat. I complete thirty minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training everyday because I want to lose and tone! I find it easier to go to a gym as opposed to walking around my neighborhood. I tried that and felt discouraged, not quite sure why. But the gym is working so much better for me. According to SuperTracker results summary page, what were your credited minutes, total expended calories, physical activity score, and physical activity assessment results? Provide a screenshot of your results summary. The amount of minutes I exercised for four days were 360 minutes. I spend 30 minutes on the stationary bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. I burned 1148 calories daily or 4592 calories over the four days (not sure why the tracker did not include this). I guess I did it incorrectly because I was not provided a physical activity score or assessment results. I could not locate the SuperTracker results summary page. [pic] What everyday changes, if any, might you make to increase the amount of energy expended in your day-to-day activities? There are multiple things I could add to my day to expend more energy. For example, I could take the stairs, instead of riding up the escalator – walk up the escalator. I could park my car farther away and walk. While watching television, during commercials I could do leg lifts or crunches! What types...

Orientation and Training

...Three Day Activity Analysis Tonya Spaulding SCI/241 September 2, 2011 Summer Dale Three Day Analysis Some of the everyday changes I would make to increase my energy levels into my everyday activities would be to exercise in the morning. I believe taking a walk or doing floor exercises would help increase my energy levels on a everyday basis. I believe that exercising and giving yourself a good workout in the morning or even before one goes to bed. Before one goes to bed it will help one sleep in the morning exercising will help give extra energy that is needed throughout the day. I think if one incorporates physical activity at least half of an hour to an hour in the morning helps one in many ways with increasing energy and overall maintaining a healthy lifestyle in general. There are days that I do not want to take walks and if that is the case I will do an alternative exercise. Some other activities like riding a bike, jogging in place, aerobics, sit ups, yard work, or spending a bit more time getting ready in the morning all of these activities will burn calories to help keep ones body healthy. There are some activities that can not be performed year round especially if one lives in parts of the United States were the winters are bad and...

Aerobics

...Home > Sports & Fitness > Aerobic exercise: the health benefits Aerobic exercise: the health benefits ‘Aerobic’ exercise refers to exercise that requires the consumption of substantially more oxygen than at rest. It is of a light to moderate intensity, and can be undertaken for a prolonged duration (many minutes to several hours) without excessive fatigue. Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, swimming or cycling at a steady pace. Another example would be dancing or ‘aerobics’ classes. Regular exercise causes your body to make adjustments that result in improved health and physical functioning. Continuing with regular exercise enables your body to maintain these benefits. Regularly doing the right types of exercise at the correct intensity, and for an appropriate duration, results in the most benefit. The benefits of aerobic exercise can be broadly categorised as either ‘fitness’ (physical capacity) or ‘health’. Fitness and health are linked, and most forms of aerobic exercise will help you achieve both. Fitness — including increased cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance (stamina) Regular aerobic exercise improves your cardiovascular fitness by increasing your capacity to use oxygen. It does this by increasing your heart’s capacity to send blood (and hence oxygen) to the muscles. This is mainly achieved through an increase in the size of the heart’s pumping chambers (ventricles), which means that your heart doesn’t have to beat as fast to deliver...

Exercise Gaming

...Northeastern Illinois University Journal Article Review “Exergaming” in Physical Education PEMT 203Y Edgar Lay Due. 07/22/10 Instructor: Susan Remiyas, MS Edgar Lay PEMT 203Y Prof. Remiyas Due. 7-22-2010 This article was written from the view point that exercise games (Wii Dance, Dance Revolution) should be incorporated into the physical education classroom to help reach all kids who need to be physically active. This reader disagrees with this articles’ viewpoint because of the lack of social interaction, inaccurate or no feedback provided by these systems, and the overall cost of exercise gaming systems. After taking into consideration that millions of children already indulge in video gaming systems in their spare time, it seems a little excessive to add it to their school physical education curriculum. Physical education in schools not only inspires good physical fitness but also social interaction and self-expression. Although there are currently many gaming devices that require physical activity, it would be nearly impossible to include the social factors. The national standards suggest that physical education teachers should be developing appropriate social behaviors and interactions through their teaching. When learning fundamental motor skills and skill themes, students should be encouraged to participate with actual equipment under realistic circumstances. If those activities include gaming and staring at a screen...

A Routine Essay

...To: Zachary Evans, Vice President of Operations From: Joseph Mirola, Claims Manager Subject: Company Fitness Center Makes Us Money _______ Through research and analysis, it has been discovered that the Rocky Mountain Mutual Company Fitness Center is a financial asset to the company. By reviewing company records you will see that the Fitness Center decreases employee absenteeism, increases employee productivity and reduces medical cost to the company. I believe that with some key leader support and proper attention our Fitness Center could become Rocky Mountain Mutual’s biggest asset. When it comes to absenteeism, our employees of Rocky Mountain Mutual who use the center miss almost half as many days of work as those who don't. They missed an average of six days of work per year as compared to those who do not use it with a staggering twelve days of work per year. As you can see, the statistics show that the Fitness Center is a major contributing factor of the health of our employees. With having said that these numbers in turn have shown to reduce the medical cost to our company. The research that was done shows that the employees fall into three different medical categories. These categories are those ranging from frequent users of the center, going three or more times per week, accounts for 10% of all Rocky Mountain Mutual employees, those considered average users go once or twice per week,accounting for 25% of all employees and the last category of non-users , the...

Exercise Intervention

... Exercise 1000 Intervention The most important characteristic of EXSS 1000 students that should be considered when designing a physical activity intervention would be recognizing that the students are just beginning college. Most students enrolled in EXSS 1000 are incoming freshmen that are just moving to college and are probably not yet settled into their new lifestyle. EXSS 1000 students also probably do not have a full understanding that exercise has long-term benefits for health and is not just a method to help avoid the “freshmen-fifteen.” When designing a physical activity intervention for a client, it is always important to consider their current level of physical fitness. The students of these exercise classes will have various levels of physical fitness, but overall, everyone should be healthy enough to participate in some type of exercise program. Because we are in North Carolina, a state that has one of the highest obesity rates in the US, the students of these classes may be less fit than normal fit averages. In turn, not only do we need to look at the specific fitness levels of the students but also at the general perception of exercise that a college student would hold. The clients need to be able to see how easily they can increase their physical activity. The more apparent it is made to them that they can add physical activity into their daily routines, the more likely they are to adopt a more active lifestyle. We are all faced with unforeseen barriers...

Physical

...Physical fitness is a necessity for everyone regardless of race, culture, or sex in order to live a long healthy life. In order to achieve physical fitness, you must be able to perform daily tasks vigorously, while avoiding diseases related to a lack of activity. There are many benefits of physical fitness like endurance, good figure, muscular strength, and flexibility. Some mental benefits include a positive attitude, high self-esteem, and the production of endorphins, which act as a natural painkiller. There have been many benefits of physical activity, which were always praised throughout history. It was not until the 1970s, that enough information was available on physical fitness. The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association has since begun issuing physical activity recommendations to the public. Some of these recommendations include cardio-respiratory exercises and sustained periods of vigorous activity. The past several years the ACSM, CDC, AHA, PCPFS, and NIH have also recommended regular, moderate physical activity. There are also risks involved with physical activity. The most common health problem related to physical activity is muscle and skeletal injury. These injuries can occur with almost any amount of exercise when the body is not conditioned. Flexibility and the proper education associated with these exercises are usually over looked. Some of the more serious risks associated with physical activity include heart attacks or...
