Goals for fitness
I know the basis for fitness but I need to become more fitter. I need to start running faster and for a longer amount of time. I need to lose weight and become toned by exercising 3 days per week (minimum) with a medium intensity. I have a healthy nutrition base to build on by making a better eating plan and to start eating healthier. I need to get a good nutrition by having and maintaining a healthy body and exercising regularly. I must learn to always be happy with my body no matter what and I musn’t become caught up in a spiral of bad feelings because this can contribute mentally and physically to my body. I need a healthy body so I can get an active, healthy mind.



GUIDELINES FOR HEALTHY EATING


For a healthy eating plan I need to start with the basics by:
Ø Eating a variety of foods so I can get a range of essential nutrition

Ø Not to use to much salt in food
Ø Drinking plenty of water to help digestion
Ø Avoid sugary foods



EXERCISE SCEDULE FOR TRAINING PROGRAMME

Ø Wear and use propper gear
Ø If I don’t feel well I musn’t push myself
Ø Get enough sleep
Ø Eat enough food

THE SPORT I ENJOY PLAYING

I would love to play for a soccer team but first I need to find a coach and need to learn more skill at the game. I enjoy soccer because I get joy from it from the adrinelin rush and I can get fitter.

HOW TO MAXIMISE EFFECTIVE TIME

Since I am very lazy and lose track of time really quickly I need to learn how to maximise my time. To do this I need to stop watching so much T.V and sittimg around doing nothing. I should start planning my day out and doing my work instead of procrastinating it and doing it last minute.i should not lose track of time and lose my concentration so quickly. I should do constuctive work in my free time so that I can appriciate my free time





WHERE AM I CURRENTLY

I am currently in Roshnee Islamic Schoo and I am in grade 11. I chose biology, science and accounting as my subjects so I have a wide choice when it comes to picking my career. I am doing average in class and can improve my science and english mark by 10 percent. I can improve my english by reading.
