...deserved more commission. When her expectation was not met, she lacked the motivation to handle multiple tasks and turned to an unethical way – stealing money from unrecorded revenue. If a new manager is hired, Kate can be released from administrative work and concentrate on her instructor job. Thus, further money loss can be avoided, and you can still keep the friendship between Kate and you as before. Furthermore, the newly hired manager can take place of the part time clerical employee. He/she is the only one that is responsible for appointment scheduling, record keeping and reports directly to you. Instructors may facilitate in marketing and facility up-keeping. Action Controls As a small newly established fitness business, Private Fitness Inc. offers too many fitness choices to its clients – 10 in total. Some of them are overlapped. It results in some of...

...Lifetime Fitness/Well – PEFT 101 CFW February 19, 2012 Good flexibility is extremely important in a good exercise program. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (2003, p. 10) “flexibility is the ability to bend joints and stretch muscles through a full range of motion”. During the first week of PEFT, the class performed the Sit and Reach flexibility test. This test measures the flexibility of the lower back and the hamstrings. My stretching reached 4 inches on this test, which equates to an excellent rating. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (2003) performing regular stretching exercises such as touching the toes and holding the stretch for a minimum of 10 seconds will improve flexibility. Having good flexibility will allow for less injuries and faster recoveries from strenuous work-outs. Grip strength measures overall body strength. This was also measured during the first week of class and my rating was superior with a score of 43 kgs. in my dominant hand. According to Professor Renaud, “a healthy adult should perform 1 set of 8-12 reps on 8-10 machines”. Those numbers can vary depending upon the reference. According to Incledon (2005) a healthy adult performing a moderate workout should do 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps on a variety of at least 5 machines or free weights. Muscular strength and endurance are important in everyday life because it not only makes you look better, but you simply feel better knowing you are improving and...

...Behavior Change Project The Transtheoretical Model The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is an integrative model developed in the early 1980’s by Prochaska and DiClemente to conceptualize the process of intentional behavior change (Pro- Change Behavior Systems, 2015). The TTM emerged from a comparative analysis of the most powerful principles and processes of change from leading theories in psychotherapy and behavior change, including Conscious Raising by Sigmund Freud, Contingency Management by BF Skinner and Helping Relationships by Carl Rogers (Hayden, 2014; Hergenrather, 200*; Pro- Change Behavior Systems, 2015). Whereas other models of behavior change focus exclusively on certain dimensions of change such as social or biological, the TTM seeks to include and integrate key constructs from other theories into a comprehensive theory of change that can be applied to a variety of behaviors, populations, and settings including treatment settings, prevention and policy-making settings. Thus the name Transtheoretical (Pro- Change Behavior Systems, 2015). Stages of change It is not easy to for individuals to change from an unhealthy behavior to a healthy one. Therefore, the TTM focuses on the decision-making of the individual. It operates on the assumption that people do not change behavior quickly and decisively, rather, change in behavior, particularly long-term behavior, occurs continuously through a cyclical process (Boston University School of Public Health, 2016).

...Tel Aviv University Spring Semester Faculty for Social Sciences 2011 Department of Psychology Course: Between Psychology and Medicine Paper on: Medical and Psychological processes in Pilates Presented by: Hani Ovadia Introduction Psychological and physical health is greatly affected by behavior, similarly, different patterns of behavior derive from psychological and physical health (Folkins 1981). Consequently, both psychotherapists and doctors recommend to their patients to participate in activities that advance a healthier lifestyle (Bull 1995). The patients are advised to integrate gymnastics of different types in their lifestyle, includ ing among others: aerobics, yoga, kickboxing and Pilates (Howell 2011). Pilates is an exercise method based on gentle phy sical movements integrated with focused mind. The physical aspect is designed to tone and increase the flexib ility of the muscles and joints and also includes developing good posture, balance and coordination. The psychological aspect is based on correct breathing and mental concentration (Field 2009) In this paper I will examine the beneficiary effects of Pilates as a mind and body training method. First, I will describe the development of the method and the uniqueness of Pilates in comparison to other physical exercising methods. Then, I will further examine the physical and psychological influence Pilates has on its practitioners, while referring to research difficulties that...

...3-DAY EXERCISE ACTIVITY ANALYSIS Che Harper SCI 241 JULY 6, 2012 PROFESSOR LAWYER 3-DAY EXERCISE ACTIVITY ANALYSIS What are your current exercise habits? My current exercise habits are going to the gym at least three days per week for one hour. I focus primarily on cardio because it helps to burn fat. I complete thirty minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training everyday because I want to lose and tone! I find it easier to go to a gym as opposed to walking around my neighborhood. I tried that and felt discouraged, not quite sure why. But the gym is working so much better for me. According to SuperTracker results summary page, what were your credited minutes, total expended calories, physical activity score, and physical activity assessment results? Provide a screenshot of your results summary. The amount of minutes I exercised for four days were 360 minutes. I spend 30 minutes on the stationary bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. I burned 1148 calories daily or 4592 calories over the four days (not sure why the tracker did not include this). I guess I did it incorrectly because I was not provided a physical activity score or assessment results. I could not locate the SuperTracker results summary page. [pic] What everyday changes, if any, might you make to increase the amount of energy expended in your day-to-day activities? There are multiple things I could add to my day to expend more energy. For example, I could take the stairs, instead of...

...Three Day Activity Analysis Tonya Spaulding SCI/241 September 2, 2011 Summer Dale Three Day Analysis Some of the everyday changes I would make to increase my energy levels into my everyday activities would be to exercise in the morning. I believe taking a walk or doing floor exercises would help increase my energy levels on a everyday basis. I believe that exercising and giving yourself a good workout in the morning or even before one goes to bed. Before one goes to bed it will help one sleep in the morning exercising will help give extra energy that is needed throughout the day. I think if one incorporates physical activity at least half of an hour to an hour in the morning helps one in many ways with increasing energy and overall maintaining a healthy lifestyle in general. There are days that I do not want to take walks and if that is the case I will do an alternative exercise. Some other activities like riding a bike, jogging in place, aerobics, sit ups, yard work, or spending a bit more time getting ready in the morning all of these activities will burn calories to help keep ones body healthy. There are some activities that can not be performed year round especially if one lives in parts of the United States were the winters are bad and...
