Reflection Paper: Health Behavior Change

3 Pages 708 Words December 2019

Plan
My health goal is to consistently work out at least five days out of the week. I measured the amount of time I spent at the gym and kept track of the days I worked out.

Results
I was able to work toward my health goal successfully. I was able to go to the gym at least 5 days out of the week and workout in a way that I enjoyed. At the beginning it was tough to find motivation to drive to the gym and try to enjoy gasping for air but by the end I was in a nice routine.

Barriers and Relapse
In the fourth week I had a “relapse” moment. I was tired and feeling very unmotivated to go to the gym. I didn’t use any prevention plan and ended up skipping going to the gym.
