How Active Am I?
Part A (40 points, 4 per box)

For 2 days, keep a log of your physical activity using the table below. Remember that physical activity
doesn’t have to be formal or strenuous exercise. Walking the dog, climbing stairs, practicing the drums,
playing a sport, or raking leaves—anything that gets your body moving—counts as a form of physical
activity. If you need more space for other activities, write them in the ‘More Activities’ section providing
the same information you did for the other activities. (4 points per box)

Part B (30 points, 3 per answer)

Calculate how many minutes of physical activity you got each day. Record your answers below.

Day 1 Low Intensity: 6 Moderate Intensity: 2 High Intensity: 1

Day 2 Low Intensity: 1 Moderate Intensity: 2 High Intensity: 3

Recall that the recommendation is at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each day. Now,
answer the questions below.

yes
Did you get some physical activity each day, regardless of intensity level? ________

yes
Did you get some moderate-intensity activity each day? ________

yes
Did you get 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each day? ________

yes
Did you get more than 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each day? ________

Part C (30 points, 10 per bullet point)

Based on the data you collected about your level of physical activity, write a paragraph evaluating your
current activity level and making at least one practical recommendation for how you can improve it. In
your paragraph, be sure to

 Clearly state your evaluation of your current level of physical activity.

 Offer at least one practical recommendation for how to improve your level of physical activity.
(This could involve increasing the intensity of an activity, adding more minutes of physical
activity each day, or replacing an activity with one that is more intense.)
 Proofread for correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Overall, I feel that my physical activity level is pretty good. I complete all 3 types of
intensity activities over any given day. I try to do different activities to keep me active.
3 days a week, I dance. I also have voice and piano lessons. I love to play outside
with my friends and my dog. Staying active is very important to me.

On days where I may sit a lot, I try to stand to do my school work. I can stand at the
desk in our office and not get tired. Using the muscles in my legs will help keep my
strength and ability. I could also add more moderate to high intensity exercise to those
days where I would not be as active as I would like. These activities could include
more time playing with my dog, riding my bike, or taking a fast paced walk in my
neighborhood.
