When I feel good from exercising, I feel that I have more purpose and that I can have more confidence and achieve more emotionally and socially. As tired as I am after my workouts sometimes, I always feel content, and when I exercise, I feel more worthwhile. It is proven that when you exercise, your body releases hormones that make you feel happy and these are called endorphins. Impact These Activities Have Had on My Emotional and Social Well-Being When I exercise, it also helps me sleep much better and wake up the next morning instead of feeling drained. They have allowed me to get rid of stress daily without building up and making me have panic attacks due to stress. That is why these activities have been so helpful to me. Because I am a very busy person with a lot going on, I do not usually get the time to exercise and release all my stress. I suffer from anxiety badly, so when I exercise, it helps me push out my frustrations and clear my head from all the pressure on my mind. How These Activities Improved My Stress Levels

When I did low-intensity workouts, I did not compare my recovery heart rate to my high-intensity workouts because my heart rate did not increase a lot when I did these workouts. I noticed that my recovery pulse rate began to return to the resting heart rate a little bit faster. My maximum heart rate was always quite different, depending on how intense my workouts were. At the beginning of my fitness plan, my resting heart rate was 73bpm, and it has now decreased to about 70bpm on average. Interpretation of My Current Fitness LevelsĪfter having exercised for 18 consecutive days, I generally feel like I have a lot more energy, and I am proud of my fitness progress.

I also want to try and mediate more often because it really does clear my head and help me focus rather than panic. My goal is to make more time for exercising because it will benefit me and reduce my stress levels. The main threat for me is that my days at school are so busy and I attend extra lessons and extra murals, so by the time I get home I am generally too tired to exercise, or I do not have enough time to do a lot of exercises. It is also hard for me to eat according to a diet because I find it difficult to stick. However, there is a risk that I can become bored with the exercise that I do or even become lazy.

This plan offers many opportunities as it can help me to improve my mental health, my well-being and my fitness.
