  2. Bell Ringer 5 Questions to Get you Started • What do I want to accomplish with this exercise program (i.e. Complete the mile run in 8:00 minutes or Lose 10 to 12 lbs of body weight)? • Is my goal(s) realistic and attainable? (Remember slow and progressive). • Do I know how to reach my goal(s)? (What will I do during my workouts?) • When do I want to reach my goal(s) (i.e. weeks, months, year)? • How will I reward myself when I reach my goal(S)?

  3. Things to think about • The more weight you lose, the harder it will be to lose weight !!! • The closer you get to your goal, the harder, it will be to reach it!!! • The weight you can maintain may not be the weight you want to be. • Scale weight isn't always the best way to track progress – The scale won’t tell you what you’ve lost and/or gained. • Weight loss isn’t the only goal you can have and may not even be the most motivating

  4. Strategies for Sticking to Your Plan • Schedule your Workouts (write them down) • Set Weekly Goals and Reward Yourself when you Succeed (write them down) • Work out with Friends or Family for Motivation • Recommit to your Goals Every Day • Always be Prepared to Workout!!! • Keep a Food and Workout Journal and Measure your Progress • Take your Measurements Regularly / Weigh In / How do your Cloths Fit?

Lets Get Started • Step 1: Assess Your Fitness level – To Assess your aerobic and muscular fitness, flexibility and body composition, consider recording: • Your pulse rate before and after a one-mile run • How long it takes to walk one mile • How many push-ups you can do at a time • How far you can reach forward while seated on the floor with your legs in front of you • Your waist circumference at the level of your navel • Your Body Mass Index Wait - News Flash How About the Physical Fitness Test Given at Your Local High School

  6. Step 2: Design Your Fitness Plan • Consider Your Fitness Goals (Your Bell Ringer) • Plan a Logical Progression of Activity – Start Slowly and Progress Slowly • How will you Build Activity into Your Daily Routine • Plan to include Different Activities – Cross Training and alternating activities / likes and dislikes. • Allow time for recovery – Rest and Recover • Put it on Paper – Stay on Track Lets Design Our Program Around the 5 Components of Fitness
