Teenage Obesity Facts

• 25 of U.S. children are overweight or at risk
  for becoming obese
• Obesity is both a physical and psychological
  illness.
• It is usually a family illness.
• Obesity is an epidemic, worse than the smoking
  problem.
• Experts blame the rise in obesity on unhealthy
  food choices and increasingly sedentary
  lifestyles.
• Studies show that students eat less breakfast,
  fruits, vegetables and milk as they go from
  elementary to middle school. Pop consumption
  tripled, as healthier alternatives, such as milk
  and fruit juice decrease.

My Presidential Fitness Scores

Improve or Maintain?

• Crunches My fitness test scores were good in
  this area. I plan to continue doing crunches in
  PE and at home to maintain my current abdominal
  strength.
• Shuttle Run My fitness test scores were low, so
  I need to practice running fast short distances
  to improve.
• Sit-n-Reach My test scores are good, so I plan
  to continue stretching before and after tap class
  to maintain.
• Mile Run My mile time was surprisingly good. I
  hope to maintain my time.
• Push-Ups My test scores are good, so I just
  need to continue doing push ups in dance class
  and when I get in trouble at home to maintain.

Heart Rate Watch Averages

• Four out of the five times we used the watches
  during exercise, I was in or above my target
  heart rate zone except the day that we did tae
  bo. I didnt work hard enough on that day. It was
  boring. I did better on the run and jump rope
  days.

6
Pedometer Measurements

• Reflection One day I got over 10,000 steps
  because I wore the pedometer all day and at tap
  class. The other days I did not meet the 10,000
  step challenge. Maybe if I walked to school I
  could get 10,000 steps.

7
My Body Fat Content
Reflection My body fat content is good. I will
just try to maintain.

Daily Activities

• Negative Fitness
• Too much homework
• Not getting enough sleep
• Snacking on chips
• Watching dumb TV shows
• Doing nothing/bored
• Talking on the phone
• Listening to music
• Reading
• Playing on the computer
• Taking Pictures

• Positive Fitness
• Tap class
• Healthy meals
• Walking
• Snowboarding
• Practicing Viola
• Sleeping

Reflection I think my daily activities are
good, but many of them do not involve exercise.
So if you are looking for daily exercise, Im not
getting enough. I tap one day a week and I only
snowboard on the weekends when there is enough
snow.

Fitness Plan Reflection

• Reflection In doing this project I learned how
  to use the pedometer, the heart rate monitors,
  and the body fat analyzer. I have also learned
  how to calculate my calorie intake needs. All of
  these things made me think about exercise more
  than I wanted to. I dont really like exercise
  and I hate most sports, especially if they
  involve a ball. I do want to stay the size I am.
  I was really happy to find out that my body fat
  is low. I dont want to get fat. I hope to stay
  fit by staying active in tap dance, acting and
  snowboarding. I also walk a lot, even if it is
  just to my friends houses and at the mall. This
  project wasnt as bad as I thought it would be.
  It did help me think of ways to stay fit without
  having to go running.
