Nutrition paper
I have grown more knowledgeable in many different aspects, since I have been
participating in this cardio class.
One thing I will mention first is how much more aware I have become with the things I
am putting into my body. I never truly realized how much sugar is in soda and juice, and how
much this sugar affects your body.
I have made many changes for the better in my diet and my exercise routine. I have
learned to become a lot more in tune with my body and the things I need, to see the best results. I
have given up drinking soda pop completely. Its amazing how much better I feel.
I also have given up a lot of the different sugars I used to eat. This has also made changes
in my body as well as my moods and motivation to eat healthy and exercise outside of class as
well. Another thing that I have defiantly noticed is that I feel a lot more confident when I go to
the gym, because I have learned the right ways to utilize the equipment, and what exercises are
best for my body. I feel so much better that when I work out knowing that I am not overworking
my body. I am paying attention to my heart rate and keeping it in the right range so that I stay
healthy and in the fat burning zone for my body.
I have learned so much about the difference in people’s body’s, that the same workout for
one person would have totally different effects than it would on me. I have learned how
important it is to be in tune with your body, and what to do to live a healthy lifestyle.
