Is Physical Activity the key to a healthy life ? Alone?

Some think that taking part in physical activity alone can help them reach their fitness goals. Although, I believe that this isn't quite true. Your diet, practically what you eat, is quite important. After all, they do say "you are what you eat!". If you take part in physical activity everyday and continue to not eat healthy, I'm afraid the results that you are hoping for will not satisfy you. I started eating healthy and changing my daily lifestyles (yes, cut down on fast food!). I can already see improvement, both mentally and physically. Dedication and commitment is an important key.

Physical Activity Everyday

Physical Activity is an important part of my life. I take part in extra-curricular activities outside of school, which include working out daily at the Tong Louie YMCA, as well as playing for the school rugby team. Rugby practices take place three times a week, including a game, since the season is about to start. Practices run for about a good hour to an hour and a half. Therefore giving me at least three hours of physical activity a week, for just rugby alone. My daily work outs consist of an hour to an hour and a half as well, clearly giving me more than sufficient physical activity.

1 month in....

It's already been one month into the semester... where has time gone! Physical Education  10 has changed my perspective of P.E. compared to previous school years. The intensity level of P.E. 10 is astonishing. For the first time in high school I experienced fitness twice a week. At my old school, fitness was once in the beginning of the semester, once in the middle and finally a final fitness test towards the end of the semester. Yes, this means there was only 3 beep tests in one semester (including all the other fitness tests!). Although, I believe that fitness twice a week is good for your well being, although I would prefer to have more options. My favorite thing in P.E. 10 would have to be the weight room. I enjoy working out daily and I fully believe that weight training is an important key in my life.
