My goal is to improve my health and fitness is to try my best to stay consistent with
my exercise and meal plan. Being consistent in any plan is very important because it
allows you not to be so strict with yourself and teaches you how to do things in
moderation. I always find that if I jump into any meal plan or exercise plan too
quickly, 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 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 longer sessions.
This plan offers many opportunities as it can help me to improve my mental health,
my well-being and my fitness. However, there is a risk that I can become bored with
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. The main threat for me is that my days at
school are so busy and attend extra lessons and extra murals, so by the time I get

exercises.

at the same time, were not unattainable. I managed to complete my exercise
program and will continue to record my exercise because I get extra motivated when

sessions that were longer than an hour, but then the next day, I would do something
with a low intensity that was not too difficult. I did this so that I would not get
exhausted from all my workouts, and it seemed to have played off because I was able
to finish the program and I did not get tired of doing it.
