1.What would you personally like to improve upon or gain from an exercise program?
What I would like to improve upon or gain from an exercise program is to lose 10Ibs. I want to lose weight because I feel as though I have gain weight from my winter break because I stopped eating health. I think that if I push myself hard enough I will be able to lose 10Lbs. I would also like to improve upon my cardio. I believe that I do lack a lot in cardio. I was complain about doing it, that I get tired right away. That being said, does not mean that I don’t try or give up completely. If I am motivated enough which I think I am staring to, I will push through my cardio and do the best that I can do. I think that if I keep on practicing (training) myself by keeping a good pace for a couple minutes. I could improve and go for a longer duration of time.
2. List three specific examples of what would motivate you to participate in and stick to a regular exercise routine?
Three specific things that will keep me motivated to participate in and stick to a regular exercise routine is since I now have a goal and know what that goal is, I will do anything to obtain it. I won’t let anything come in my way, I will keep pushing until I get these two goals done and then find another goal I want to accomplish. Another reason that I will be motivated to stick to a regular routine is that since winter is hopefully almost over I want to look good and be in shape for the summer. Lastly, something that will motivate me is that I have always been insecure about my weight and now that I know that I am capable of pushing myself and how easy it is to gain all that weight back, I don’t want that happening again.
3. List three specific barriers or excuses which would prevent you from doing so?
Three specific barriers or excuses which would prevent me from completing my goals would be that I get tired really fast. So I would keep telling myself that I’m tired I’ll just do it better next time. Another excuse that I would use is that I would tell myself that I will never accomplish this goal because it is too hard for me. This time around I am going to try to eliminate as much negativity as possible. Lastly, I would tell myself that since I am short it is okay to get tired too fast or that since I am short it is harder for me to complete a movement so I would end up doing it half way. I tell myself these excuses so I wouldn’t blame myself for not following through with losing weight.
