ASSESSMENT/ACTIVITY
1. Do you make a constant effort to achieve and maintain good health? Elaborate.
Yes, I try to exercise daily for at least 30 minutes to maintain weight. I ensure that I
get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night so my body can recover and have better physical
and mental performance the following day. Also, I carefully plan my diet and avoid
foods that I know will cause me harm in large quantities. In addition, to manage my
stress, I make sure to schedule time for activities that will help me relax.
2. Identify 2 dimensions of wellness in which you think you are doing well. Discuss your
answer.
I think I am doing well in two dimensions of wellness: physical and emotional
wellness. Physical wellness because I could schedule a time for exercising my body,
eating nutritious food, avoiding harmful habits like smoking and drinking and going
to a doctor for regular checkups. On the other hand, emotional wellness because I can
attend to my thoughts and feelings, monitor my reactions and identify the roots of my
emotional instability. I practice self-acceptance. I made sure I knew my value.
Comparing myself to others will not help me improve. If I want to improve myself, I
should first accept my weakness. 
3. Identify 2 dimensions of wellness in which you think you are not faring well. Why? 
I am not faring well with two dimensions of wellness: financial and
occupational wellness. Financial wellness because, up until now, I have been
struggling to manage my finances. I tend to spend money on things I usually regret
later on—meanwhile, occupational wellness since I am still progressing in
determining what I enjoy doing. I am still having doubts concerning my future.
4. Name the toughest barrier you think is hindering you in achieving your wellness goals at
the moment. How will you overcome it?
The most challenging barrier I think is hindering my wellness goals at the
moment is my past failures and doubts. To overcome it, I plan to make a list wherein
my prior mistakes are recorded so I can analyze them and figure out a solution.
5. How can regular participation in physical activity help an overweight individual even if it
does not result to weight loss? Explain.
Physical activity boosts an individual’s total energy expenditure, allowing them
to maintain energy balance. In addition to lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases,
type 2 diabetes, dementia, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and certain
malignancies, it can reduce stress and improve mood.
6. Can regular exercise make a person smarter? Defend your answer. 
Yes, multiple studies have demonstrated a correlation between exercise and
enhancements in attentional control, processing speed, capacity for working memory
 and ability to switch between tasks. This means that it is likely to improve your
performance at work, your grades in school, your ability to acquire new skills quickly,
and your ability to make wiser judgments.
7. How can weakness or deficiency in one of the health-related fitness components affect a
person’s daily activities or work?
When one or more of the health-related fitness components are poor or
insufficient, it can have multiple detrimental effects on a person’s everyday life. For
instance, a person lacking muscular strength may struggle with tasks that require
lifting or carrying goods. If a person lacks cardiovascular endurance, engaging in
activities requiring persistent physical exertion, such as jogging or tennis, may be
challenging.
8. Evaluate your current lifestyle, does it involve enough physical activity that meets the
recommended time allotment to maintain or improve health and wellness? What changes
could you do to improve your fitness levels?
My current lifestyle includes appropriate physical activity to maintain or
improve my health and wellness. Since my body had already adapted to my regimen,
the only modification I could make to boost my fitness levels was to raise the intensity
of my workouts. I will increase my weekly aerobic activity, including walking, dancing,
and even pushing, to at least 150 minutes, two or more days per week of muscle-
strengthening exercises, such as carrying groceries, hand-held weight workouts, and
yoga.
9. How important is intensity as a part of an exercise program? Discuss your answer.
Intensity is arguably the essential aspect of exercise. When individual exercises
with adequate intensity, his or her body becomes more muscular, and there are
noticeable improvements in weight, muscle mass percentage, endurance, and strength.
Typically, the intensity of an exercise is classified as low, moderate, or vigorous.
