Exit Interview

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

• EQ:  What is the most efficient way to live a healthy and fit life? 
• The first step in living a healthy and fit life is to adopt healthy eating habits to your everyday life by measuring and consuming the right foods. ( Nutrition)
• The second step to living a healthy and fit life is to adapt a regular and constant physical training regiment into your lifestyle. (staying physically active/exercising) 
• The third step is getting a good night's sleep (8 hours for most of us), is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, and can benefit your heart, weight, mind, and more.  
• My best answer is my  first answer, "The first step in living a healthy and fit life is to adopt healthy eating habits to your everyday life by measuring and consuming the right foods. (Nutrition)." Proper nutrition will allow you to be able to live a healthy life beyond having to worry about weight gain or suffering from health problems. Without a good diet you won’t get the same outcomes and energy while doing any sort of physical activity or exercise, the most efficient way to maintain healthy is by being aware of the foods you ingest your body with.

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

• After 8 months of doing a lot of research and mentoring with Brenda Prokob who has been a personal trainer for 15, all of my answers had an essential part, but the one that emerged to the best answer was nutrition.

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

• The only obstacle that I faced was at the  beginning. I had changed topics from Pediatric Nursing to Fitness. I struggled with finding a place that would allow me to work with someone that was willing to help me with my senior project. I didn’t know where to look, so I went to Mrs. Pitman my house teacher at that time and asked for help. She gave me the idea of getting a personal trainer at a gym. With that in mind I started searching for gyms near I-Poly and found the 24 Hour Fitness just a few blocks away. My mom and I went and explained my senior project and they recommended me with Brenda Prokop, my mentor.

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

• My first significant source would be my mentor Brenda Prokob because she helped me answer my EQ by personally training me and giving me tips on how to lose body fat. I have a personal meal and exercise plan that was made by her, which helps me make sure that I'm eating the right nutrition's and exercises to maintain my body fat in the right percentage.
• My second most significant source would  be So What Can I Eat?! by Elisa Zuied. In her book she really help me understand and really go in depth about nutrition and how it affects my body.
