A) the point is to prepare the body for physical activity by increasing heart rate, body temperature and breathing rate. Also to help mentally prepare for the activity.

B) a series of active warmup exercises.

C) it is to reduce heart and breathing rate and gradually reduce body temperature.

D) the best time to stretch is right after excercise when the body is warm to avoid injury. Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and strong.

E) 8 hours of sleep is ideal. I am getting that much sleep since there is no school at the moment.

F) lack of sleep can affect body weight, muscle and energy recovery and overall mood.

G) fruits and popcorn. My motivation to stay active in the future is the multiple benefits that an active lifestyle can give me.

H)physical inactivity can increase the chance of cancer and anxiety and depression.

I) monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats.

A) I picked an abs workout because I feel like that is a muscle that can easily be trained with minimal equipment.

B) My effort wasn’t very high honestly. Working out at home isn’t my preferred setting.

C) i don’t need to change my goal because it is still realistic and attainable.

D) The main thing that helps me in my program is actually being in the gym. Once i get there i feel motivated to properly workout and later eat properly to achieve my goals.

E) i am supposed to eat from 5 to 13 servings of vegetables everyday. I am not getting enough but a way that i could would be to cut down a bit on other things on my plate to make room for vegetables. My three favorite vegetables are celery, carrots and onions.

a)I feel like i have been getting more sleep because I’ve been sleeping earlier.

B) it’s not bad but it is messing up my current gym plan a bit since i don’t like working out twice in one day. That isn’t a big problem though i just need to plan my week a bit better.

C) My biggest barrier is that i go to the gym almost everyday with a predetermined workout so adding these weekly workouts means that i have to workout twice per day, which i do not like doing. I am slowly adapting my plan to overcome this minor barrier.

D) There should be a 1-2 day rest period before focusing on a certain muscle group again to avoid muscle injuries or strains. If you don’t you could hurt yourself and your muscles won’t have time to heal.

E) my nutrional habits are pretty good. I still keep track of my protein and caloric intake and make sure i don’t eat too much.

A. I would give myself 7/10. I wasn’t able to go to the gym and i never workout at 100% when I’m home.

B. Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity excercise per week; in other words 30-60 minutes Of moderate-intensity excercise per day 5 days a week

C.30 to 60 minutes of moderate intensity excercise or 20-60 minutes of high intensity excercise.

D. Jumping rope counts as cardio

E. Eight 8 ounce glasses of water per day.

G. Cardiovascular and muscular endurance.

H.my nutrition was good this week, i was able to stick to a specific meal plan most of the week. A negative aspect is that sometimes I don’t eat lunch at school because i don’t have time.

A. I always set a goal for myself concerning my workouts so that i can monitor my progress. Seeing more progress is something that motivates me to stick to regular exercise routines. I am also motivated by the fact that working out has health benefits and is good for my body now and long term. Another thing that motivates me is looking good in summer pics at the pool with my friends.

B. A barrier for me is the fact that i can be extremely lazy at times. Getting up to go workout can be a battle between myself and I were i attempt to convince myself to get up. A second barrier is that i feel like i have a lot of things that I want to fit into 24hrs and sometimes working out doesn’t fit. Sometimes unexpected injuries can prevent me from working out as well.

C. Workouts that i like include the bench press, barbell curls, rope pushdowns, push ups and many more. I also enjoy intense sports.

D. I prefer going to the gym

E. I see myself participating in some kind of sports to stay active and i would definitely keep going to the gym. Some people fall off on nutrition because of how much they need to do in university but i will keep eating properly.

F. I think the easiest way for me to excercise for the rest of my life, even in old age, would be to play sports.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
