                Lifelong wellness is greatly influenced by physical activity. Recreational activities help people by increasing physical health. This allows people to usually live healthier stronger and more comfortable lives. Also physical activity is a way to release stress and to increase happiness in most people.

                Cardio fitness is very important in keeping a healthy heart and body. This allows blood to flow through the body easier decreasing the risk of a heart attack; also it allows people to be more alert. As well as physical exercise there is a need to keep a track on your sleep patterns. It is extremely important to allow people to receive more energy, be happier and feel better. If you want to have a better day, you need to get the right amount of sleep.

                It is extremely important for people to have balance in their life and in the way they work out. If all you do is lift weights, you might have big muscles but then you will have limited flexibility and will lack endurance to run. If you wish to have lifelong wellness, you need to balance all things. This balance includes self-discipline, mental outlook, stress management, nutrition, muscle strength and endurance, etc…

                Before I took this class I felt that there was more I needed to do to increase my personal fitness. I feel like I know have an activity that I can enjoy for my entire life.  I have always wanted to be able to play golf well. I feel like I know have an activity I can play my whole life. The practice of golf will let me walk, play, and release stress for the rest of my life. Also from the practicing I have felt much more confidence in how my game has improved and a greater desire to try new sports.

                I intended to try and play golf as much as chance allows. I have a goal to at least play once every two weeks. Hopefully I am able to keep up the new skills I have learned through this class. I have greatly improved my swing and my game. I am much more excited to play and practice golf on a regular basis.
