HLAC - Lifelong Wellness Application Paper

Write a paragraph on each of the following:

1.       What did you learn about “lifelong wellness” from taking this activity class?

I learned so much from this class. I’ve been lifting for a few years but completely without any kind of guidance outside of books and YouTube. I hit a wall a while back and I had a hunch it was because I was doing things either incorrectly or incompletely. I’ve learned so many new lifts and how to do them properly from this class.

2.       How would you apply this information to your life?

The reason that I took this class is because I intend to lift weights my entire life and I wanted to make sure that the tools that I had for that were solid. It’s an exciting thing, having something in your head that you get to keep forever and that nobody can ever take away from you. I will use the skills I acquired in this class forever, definitely

3.       What is your intention to continue to exercise in your life and why?

I’m a cyclist, a snowboarder, a hiker, I swim, I climb, I run, I skate. Those are the fun ones and I’ll do them forever. There is, however, no exercise that serves a greater utility than weightlifting. I’ll do that one for the rest of my life as well. The why is simple. I was very overweight some years ago and it sucked. I’m fit now and it’s amazing. Exercise and getting outdoors is what life is really about.

4.       General ideas for improving this course?

It is an exceptional course exactly as it is. Keep doing what you’re doing.
