Final Exam
- Look back on your goals from the beginning of the semester. Were you able to meet those goals? If not, what can you do to meet them in the future?
At the beginning of the semester, I had goals of improving my eating habits and living a healthier lifestyle. I started a workout program and healthy eating program, and so far, I am happy with the progress I have made. I have achieved most of the goals, and I will continue with the program because I have received positive changes from the changes I have made.
- You were encouraged to be more physically active. Explain the exercise program that you implemented in this course. Express your feelings about the outcomes of this program and how well you accomplished your fitness goals. In what ways did you add activity other than a “workout”?
I had a workout program where every day, I would ensure I had done some exercises. I also enrolled in a gym to ensure that I had an instructor who could guide me in my daily workout routines. Apart from the workout program, I also added some exercises in my daily life, such as attending dancing classes, taking the stairs, walking the dog and being involved with my children basketball and soccer games. Since I started the program, I have lost some weight, and I feel healthier and fitter than I was when I started. I am not yet where I wanted to be, but I have made a lot of progress.
- List nutritional or dietary changes that you were able to implement this semester and the effects of these changes on your body composition and personal wellness.
After learning about trans-fats and sodium, I shifted from fatty foods and added more vegetables to my diet. I reduced the chocolates and ice cream in my fridge, and I have seen many positive changes in my body. I have lost the extra fat, and my blood pressure is stable. I am no longer susceptible to infections such as flu because my body’s immunity has improved since I ditched the fries and the burgers and embraced vegetables and smoothies.
- List other lifestyle changes that you were able to make this semester that may decrease your risk for disease. In a few sentences, explain how you feel about these changes and their impact on your overall wellbeing.
The changes I have made this semester are impressive. I eat smaller portions and fewer fats. This way, I am not susceptible to lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, and my heart is healthier.
Working out and eating healthy has impacted my life positively, and I am happier and more comfortable in my body. The change in habits has also increased my confidence, and I feel more comfortable in my skin.

This course has and will continue impacting y life positively. Within one semester, I have created a workout plan and stuck to healthy eating. I am healthier, and I have lost some pounds. The knowledge I have gained will also help me help other people live quality and healthy lives. I will continue with the healthy eating and the work out programs I started. I will also advance in my work out programs and take on more challenging exercises.
