Question 1
Creating an Exercise Schedule
Part A
Write a schedule for the coming week in the table below. Include all of your daily activities, including meal times and transportation times. For
example, if you take the bus to work or school, include the amount of time spent on the bus.
Examine your schedule and highlight any cells where you could fit in physical activity. For the best results, physical activity should be done five
times a week for about one hour each time. Make sure that you choose a realistic time of day for exercise. If you are not a morning person, then
exercising in the morning might not be a good time for you.
Do not be tempted to skip breakfast or lunch in favor of activities. A healthy body needs fuel, or food, just as much as it needs exercise. To be
successful, make time for five or ten minutes before and after your exercise routine to change clothing, regain focus on schoolwork, or get back to
your job. Then you will not feel rushed or tempted to skip exercising on busy days.
