You will begin by calculating your own Body-Mass Index (BMI) and evaluating that value with regard to your age, general health status, and body type. You will also calculate your target heart rate range (65%-85%) using the Karvonen Formula found in your Reading and Media (specifically, the Calculating Target Heart Rates video) for this week. Then, you will set reasonable, measureablegoals for each of the three health components and prescribe exercises that will help you reach those goals. Your plan should align with your goals and be realistic.

Objectives:

•             Discuss the current recommendations for age-appropriate exercise.

•             Devise an Exercise Prescription for yourself.

•             Describe health promotion benefits of aerobic, strengthening, and stretching exercise.

Exercise Prescription: (Remember that goals must be realistic and measureable. Review your Health Promotion Contract for examples of how to write a measureable goal)
