Eportfolio Assignment

1.      What did you learn about “lifelong wellness” from taking this class?

To me lifelong wellness means being able to maintain a healthy balance physically, mentally, and social health. This class taught me that I can do lots of different exercise routines and use different machines that I had never used before, to achieve a good and different workout every time. It also taught me some healthy eating routines I can maintain on a low budget, no time, and I can create a great tasting meal.  I also learned that I have never felt better before I took this class. My body overall feels great and I have the need to maintain my lifelong wellness. This means I take what I have learned from this class and apply it to my everyday routine. It’s important to maintain this and I got a little reminder throughout the course.

2.      How would you apply this information to your life?

The curriculum in this class as taught us how to set goals and follow through with them. I remember doing this at the beginning of the semester and then I trusted some people in the class to hold me accountable to them. I took the time and wrote out those goals and how they would apply to my life, my school schedule, my work schedule, and my social life. I believe with the list I made all of the goals were achievable and that’s how I applied the information to my life.

3.      What is your intention to continue to exercise during your life and why?

My intention is to continue exercise as much as possible. All through High School I was very active and involved in a number of sports and when I got to college I had to focus more on school and work. So taking courses like this reminds me of the drive I had for staying active and how much I do enjoy the competition.  Im continuing to work at the Marriott hotel in the activity center because it keeps me active and I feel appreciated; this is one thing that keeps my physical and emotional health up. I’m going to continue to take courses like these ones because I do learn something new every time. And I’m also going to continue my favorite hobby which is skiing; skiing with friends keeps me healthy and socially happy. One more reason why I’m going to continue down this path of active is because I have made so many good friends and they push me to work hard.

4.      General ideas for improving this course?

I thought this class was very flexible and I enjoyed that because it taught us how to exercise on our own and it gave us options to how to complete that. All of the deadlines were very clear and it was always enough time to complete the assignment. I felt like the course packet we followed should have been done as a class, that way everyone wouldn’t be confused and completed the workbook all at the same time. The only other thing I would have liked to see is that we would have more talks as a class then that way everyone received the same tips and heard something the other person didn’t instead of on a one to one basis. Other than that I enjoyed the class very much and it has inspired me to continue my journey.
