HLAC – LIFELONG WELLNESS APPLICATION PAPER                                  Vinny Genovesi

1.        What did you learn about “Lifelong Wellness” from taking this class?

I took this class because I had taken meditation the previous semester and because I like doing fitness stuff. I want a full complement of skills, abilities, and hobbies. I think that it’s very very important to work hard on your physical self as well as your spiritual self and so this class was a natural choice for me. I learned how to better focus inwardly, and I learned how to stretch parts of my body that I didn’t know existed. This class made me a better weightlifter because it made me more aware of the various muscles in my body.

2.       How has learning about and applying “Lifelong Wellness” concepts impacted your life (home, school, work, relationships, etc)?

In every way possible. Fitness and health are the foundation of everything else that I do. Without the gym, without yoga, weightlifting, cycling, meditating, swimming, etc., I would never have learned the skills and the discipline to do the rest of the things that life requires for success. Without these things I think I would be quite mad.

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

I’ll exercise for the rest of my life. I exercise every single day already. I lose my mind if I don’t get some kind of exercise, even if it’s just a walk. I’d really love to be a fitness instructor of some kind, but for now I’m on the path to law. If that doesn’t work out, I have no doubt that I will go into health, nutrition, and fitness for a living.

4.        General ideas for improving this course?

This course is fine the way that it is. Our instructor was excellent. Good class, I’m very glad I took it.
