Ryann's goal was to do 30 minutes of Zumba on the Wii game system twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. She would track her progress using the game. She thought this was an attainable goal that fit her schedule and preferred exercising at home rather than the gym. However, she found it difficult to stick to due to laziness, a busy schedule with school and work, and less motivation in colder weather. Her chart showed she did not fully meet her twice weekly goal. She learned it is hard to maintain a fitness goal that is not a high priority.

2. GOAL
 S-(Specific) I will do Zumba on Wii for 30 minutes every
Monday, and Wednesday
 M-(Measurable) This will be measured by the Zumba
game itself
 A-(Attainable) I think this is best because I don’t like
going to the gym. This is the best was for me to stay
focused on something and continue to do it.
 R-(Realistic) I play Wii Just Dance a lot and Zumba every
now and then so this makes me realize that it will be
realistic.
 T-(Timely) This is timely because it goes with my
schedule and I can do this all semester.

4. Record/Measure
 My strategies for change is to not lay down until 9:00 P.M.
This will help because it will make me want to keep doing
things. My plan is to do Wii Zumba twice a week for 30
minutes each time. At first I thought it would work well on
Mondays and Wednesdays but I changed it to any two days a
week.

6. Evaluation
 I did not meet my goal. I started out in the beginning
really into it and wanting to do it. I started to get really
busy with school and work and that was a big factor in
me not completing my goal. Also, when the weather gets
colder I start to get lazier and I think that was another
reason. Once this semester is over I will definitely start to
try and play Zumba more because I will have more time
on my hands.
 What I learned is that it is very hard to keep a goal when
it’s something you aren't necessarily worried about. I
hope when I start to get older I will exercise more and be
healthy.
