Respond to the following:

At the beginning of this semester I started on a journey to improve my health through physical activity. There was a time that I didn’t believe I needed to change my behavior and that I was happy in my own skin. During this pre-contemplation stage, I did not believe that my behavior was a problem. Not long after I began weighing the pros and cons of engaging in physical activity. During the contemplation stage, I saw how physical activity could improve my energy level and overall mood, but I also saw how it would require me to find some more time in the day to get to the recreation center. I started going to the gym every other day. This could be considered the preparation stage. If I could not make it one day I would not worry about it. A week or so later I could be found at the gym almost every day of the week. During this active stage, I would actively find time each day to be at the gym. It has now been 4 continuous months of actively engaging in physical activity. I believe if I continue this journey I will be able to reach the maintenance stage. This would require my change to last beyond six months. And I am hopeful that I will not experience a setback or relapse this far into my physical activity lifestyle change. Elle Martell
