January Post

This is a photo of the app "MyFitnessPal". This app was introduced to me by my mentor Brenda Prokob. MyFitnessPal has helped my throughout my journey of trying to stay fit, by helping me not get over the amount of calories I should be consuming daily. Which as you can see on the picture, my calorie daily intake is 1,800. Each day I put all the meals I consume and it automatically calculates the calories and gives me the amount of calories I have left. It's my own personal fitness diary. 

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

What I'm most proud of is how my PowerPoint came out, I feel like the slides got the message across without putting the information in full sentences or paragraph form.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
 
I think I deserve a P because I had everything that was required in the contract and I feel like I really went into depth with my lecture content for my first answer.
 
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

I was able to have a lot of information to explain my first answer.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

I would try to not be so nervous because it really through me off in my presentation which made me talk fast.

I think my second answer is going to be physical training. 

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
  I'm doing my mentorship at the 24 Hour Fitness Center, at the City of Industry. 

2.   Who is your contact?
My mentor is Brenda Prokop. She is a personal trainer at the 24 Hour Fitness Center that I mentorship at.


3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
I currently have 27 hours done.

4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
For the past few months I have been doing my mentorship at the 24 Hour Fitness Center with my mentor Brenda. During my mentorship she trains me and teaches me about nutrition. Each day we workout different parts of the body, for example one day we focus just on back muscles, triceps, and abs. During my sessions she explains to me what each exercise is for and she also gives me tips on how to show faster results.She has also helped me create my own personal workout plan for each week.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

 I learned a lot of new stuff mostly training workouts from different apps. Each app is different some have workouts that target specific parts of muscles, while others mainly focus on workout either to get lean or toned. Looking at different workouts helped me develop my my workout plan for the past two weeks. I also learned that you need to be consistent with your workout routines and not slack off because you would start losing muscle mass. 

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

I  learned that changing up a workout plan every week will really target other specific muscles in the body and you could really start to see results faster. The main thing I learned this break was new workouts for specific muscle parts. These two important factors were really taught by both of my mentor and the "Fitness Buddy" app.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would talk to my mentor Brenda Prokop, because she has been a certificated personal trainer for 15 years now.  

December Post- "Secrets to Healthy Holiday Eating"

 As most of us know all too well, trying to eat healthy during the holidays is a tricky task. It’s easy to over-indulge with so many tasty treats around. The article discusses healthy holiday eating from Thanksgiving Day to New Year in the U.S. It states that American adult gain five to eight pounds in the short interval of holiday season which could be a healthy-eating disaster. It offers tips for a healthy-eating progress including file up on fiber foods, control food microenvironment and zero out skippable choices. This article has been my favorite source for the past month, it gave me really good tips that I was actually able to follow during the holidays.

November Blog

For this past month I have been drinking this protein shake after every workout. My mentor actually recommended this drink because it does not contain any sugar,oils, or artificial flavors. It is also a healthy choice, it has all the right nutrition's that a protein shake should have and it's gluten free. It is highly recommended to drink a protein shake within an hour after working out to fuel muscle growth. The theory of this is that proper protein timing leads to bigger long-term gains in strength and lean body mass.

Blog 11- EQ

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ. 

2. 
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
I think it does meet the rule of three criteria because you can find more research on this topic and it is not a yes/no question. It allows you to argue a point because there are plenty ways to lose weight. The wording makes sense and there is no extra words that are just there.
 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
 This EQ meets the rule of three because there isn't one answer to the question, one can research criminal convictions to answer the question, and the question makes sense.

 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
I do not think this EQ meets the rule of three because it does not really provide a framework for studies. there is not much research you can do on this topic, it is more of an opinion. You can argue a point but that wont really matter because every customer is different.


 d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain? 
 This EQ meets the three criteria because it calls for research of medical articles, is not a yes or no question because there are many answers and the question is formatted in a way where you know what it's asking.
