HLAC - Lifelong Wellness Application Paper
Write a paragraph on each of the following:
1. What did you learn about “lifelong wellness” from taking this activity class?
One thing that I really liked about this class, is that we did not simply just go through the motions which would have been very easy to do. We could have just played tennis, but we also did workouts, such as core, upper body, and lower body to better equip our bodies to become more fit and able to do the sport. It taught me how easy and quick I can do little things for exercise, and that I can still get something out of that.
2. How would you apply this information to your life?
It showed me that I can take aside time out of my day, even if it is simply for thirty minutes, and go put a good workout in. It also taught me that I can go out and learn new things, which I believe can be a life long wellness for our minds, which can help keep our bodies young. I was able to learn some new techniques and means of doing various workouts which I can implement into my current routine.
3. What is your intention to continue to exercise in your life and why?
My intention to continue exercising is for myself, and my own personal well being. I have seen how much happier, and healthier people are when they take the time out of their busy schedules to take care of their bodies. The difference is astonishing, and only leads to good things in the end. Possibly always taking classes such as this one, will be a good way for me to keep motivated and out there being active.
4. General ideas for improving this course?
The course offered by Chad was great and well planned out. I have no criticism of the course what so ever. One thing I thoroughly enjoyed, was when Chad would teach us a new technique, or explain something, he would also give us the reasons for doing so and convey to the understanding of the entire class so we were all on the same page. This is why the entire class was able to have so much improvement from beginning to end.
