I always find that if I jump into any meal plan or exercise plan too quickly that I never

follow through with it. Therefore, my goal is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and I can do this by
consistently eating healthier and exercising more regularly. But the first thing that I need to do is
to develop the habit of a healthy lifestyle slowly so that I can get used to the pace and keep up
with it. I plan to do this by having short exercise sessions and occasionally adding in a few
sessions that are longer.
This plan offers many opportunities as it can help me to improve my mental health, my
wellbeing and my fitness. However, there is the risk that I can become bored of the exercise that
I do or even become lazy. It is also hard for me to eat according to a diet because I find it
difficult to stick to.
The main threat for me is that my days at school are so busy and I attend extra lessons
and extra murals, so by the time I get home I am generally too tired to exercise, or I just do not
have enough time to do a lot of exercise. My goal is to make more time for exercising because I
think that it will really benefit me and help in reducing my stress levels. I also want to try and
mediate more often because it really does clear my head and help me focus rather than panic.
After having exercised for 18 consecutive days, I generally feel like I have a lot more
energy and I am proud of my fitness progress. At the beginning of my fitness plan, my resting
heart rate was 73bpm and it has now decreased to about 70bpm on average. My maximum heart
rate was always quite different depending on how intense my workouts were. I noticed that my
recovery pulse rate began to return to the resting heart rate a little bit faster. When I did low
intensity workouts, I did not compare my recovery heart rate to my high intensity workouts
because my heart rate did not increase a lot when I did these workouts.
