Fitness Resources and Exercise Behavior

  Using what you have learned about your physical fitness level and challenges, please address the following points in your initial post:

• Examine your exercise behaviors and habits before you began this course.
• Then, reflect on the knowledge you have gained over the last few weeks and assess four specific fitness-related goals that you have for yourself as a result of what you have learned.  
• Will you have to alter your previous exercise behaviors and habits so that you can advance to the “next level” of fitness?  Explain your answer and give examples.
• Which two resources from this class (e.g., assessments, plans, tables, articles, websites, videos, or texts) will help you stay motivated while increasing your strength, endurance, and flexibility?  Explain in detail why you chose these resources.

Your initial post must be a minimum of 250 words.  Include citations for at least one resource, in addition to your course text.  All sources must be cited according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford University Library. Guided Response:  Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two peers in a minimum of 100 words.  How were your peer’s fitness goals similar to or different than yours? Do you know of any additional resources that may increase exercise adherence, help your classmates achieve their fitness goals, and stay motivated in the long term?
