Personal Reflection
In this personal reflection essay I describe my physical activity for seven days. I decided to start my tracking today, Thursday, April 20th, 2017. I woke up early because I did not have a class until eleven. I then decided to go for a quick morning workout. Working out in the early morning helps to wake me up and become motivated for the day. I went to the Payne Center at 7:45. I ran a mile on the treadmill and then abs. I did two sets of 25 sit ups and 25 crunches.

I want to make these changes because I believe exercise is important to one’s overall fitness. To take care of one’s body involves physical and mental health and to avoid a sedentary lifestyle is the most important decision one can
