Individualized Fitness Plan

 

Using your fitness assessment analysis, develop a fitness plan with short term goals for this term as well as long range, lifetime fitness goals, using the FITT principle, and with an activity plan for the entire week. Your fitness plan should include activities and exercises you like to do! Your weekly fitness plan should include exercises/activities you plan on engaging in during activity classes you may have, during athletic team workouts if applicable to you, and any other activity you engage in throughout the week.

 

For Important Health Benefits
Adults need at least:

walking 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week and
weight training muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest,  shoulders, and arms).

OR

jogging 1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week and
weight training muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest,  shoulders, and arms).

OR

walking jogging An equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and
weight training muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest,  shoulders, and arms).

 

  

 

10 minutes at a time is fine

We know 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of time, but you don’t have to do it all at once. Not only is it best to spread your activity out during the week, but you can break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. As long as you’re doing your activity at a moderate or vigorous effort for at least 10 minutes at a time.

How do you know if you’re doing light, moderate, or vigorous intensity aerobic activities? For most people, light daily activities such as shopping, cooking, or doing the laundry, don’t count toward the guidelines. Why? Your body isn’t working hard enough to get your heart rate up.

Moderate-intensity aerobic activity means you’re working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat. One way to tell is that you’ll be able to talk, but not sing the words to your favorite song. Here are some examples of activities that require moderate effort:

· Walking fast, doing water aerobics, riding a bike on level ground or with few hills, playing doubles tennis, pushing a lawn mover

Vigorous-intensity aerobic activity means you’re breathing hard and fast, and your heart rate has gone up quite a bit. If you’re working at this level, you won’t be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. Here are some examples of activities that require vigorous effort:

· Jogging or running, swimming laps, riding a bike fast or on hills, playing singles tennis, playing basketball

Your plan should include:

1. Your name

2. Short term goal (goal for this term) (worth 2.5 points)

3. Long term goals (goals for a lifetime) (worth 2.5 points)

4. Using the F.I.T.T. principle map out your fitness plan using a table – don’t forget to include flexibility exercises (see example below). Your FITT plan should align with the minimum standards set by the CDC (see above).(worth 10 points)

 

Frequency

(How often?)

 Intensity level

(Heart rate?)

 Type

(Activity?)

 Time

(How long?)
5 days/week vigorous Running 30 minutes
2 days/week 3 sets of 12 – see muscle/muscle groups Weights – free & machine 45 minutes
3 days/week 500 yards/15 minutes swimming 15 minutes
2 days/week 50% of max volleyball 90 minutes
Everyday 4 MPH dog walking 30 – 60 minutes
Daily 15 – 20 seconds Yoga 20 minutes
4 days/week to muscle failure abdominal crunches 15 minutes
1 day/week moderate Hiking 120 minutes

 

 

5. List specific muscle/muscle groups target areas for resistance training, for example: arms – biceps and triceps, chest, back, shoulders, abdominals, legs – (quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves). Make sure you include the number of sets and reps.

6. Now make a spreadsheet for the week and plug into each day when you are going to engage in each activity. (worth 5 points)

 

7. And remember, ask yourself, is my plan realistic? Sustainable?

You will be graded on the thoroughness of your plan. Spelling and grammar will be considered in the grading process. This assignment is worth 20 points

Current issues in healthcare policy & practice

/in /by

DUE SUNDAY BY 11:59 PM! PLEASE USE CITATION CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!

_________________________________________________________________________

ASSIGNMENT—- THE PRACTICAL ROLE OF POLICY

What has health policy done for me lately?

Developing health care policy is often an exercise in balancing competing interests, many of them political. Policy is often the product of elaborate negotiations between many interested parties. It is sometimes difficult for individuals to see the connection between health care policies and their own personal health. In short, people ask, “What does health policy mean to me?”

This Application will give you an opportunity to delve a little deeper into the practical role of policy, by examining a health policy issue that is of particular interest to you.

To prepare for this Application, select an acute or chronic health issue (such as motorcycle accident-related head trauma or type 2 diabetes) that is of interest to you. Using the Walden Library and credible websites, research this issue to analyze a key policy related to the health issue you selected. Select at least three articles about the policy to use in your paper.

To complete this Application, write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Describe the health care issue you selected. Explain why this issue is important, in terms of access, affordability, quality, and safety.
  • Identify a health policy that is related to the health issue you selected. Explain its intended purpose and indicate the source of the policy (i.e., state law, federal law, accreditation organization, etc.)
  • Cite and summarize the articles you selected.
  • Analyze what the literature says about the impact of the policy, in terms of cost, affordability, access, quality, and safety.

Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources, as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

This chapter establishes a foundation for understanding health care costs and how those costs are directly related to access and quality. You will finish this chapter in next week’s reading.

Health Politics, Policy, and Practice

Chapter 6, “Medicaid: Health Care for You and Me?”This chapter presents an overview of the Medicaid program, looks at how it has evolved over the years, and considers where it might be going. It presents three commonly held myths about Medicaid.
