Brooke and Trey’s PHP Project
Over the past few weeks, Trey had been trying to alter his schedule so that he had a better sleeping pattern (going to bed earlier and waking up earlier) in order to have more time to work out in the morning. Overall, he had made an improvement in altering his schedule so that he went to bed earlier and rose earlier. However, he struggled with increasing the amounts of time he worked out. There were a number of external factors contributing to this including guys’ rush and snow days. He had stated that often he lacked the motivation to go work out in the morning, especially before a 9am class. Reviewing Trey’s data, in the future it may be more manageable for him to aim to work out on mornings he does not have a 9am class instead of trying to work out every morning. He could also try to work out at a later time on days when he does have 9am class. Overall Trey was satisfied with his improvement with getting up earlier however he feels he still is at the same point in his workout schedule as he was beforehand. However now that guys’ rush is over, he feels he will have the time to improve on this goal.
Over the past few weeks, Brooke has been trying to get back into the shape she once was in while in high school. In order to obtain this, we decided to try and increase the number of days she would run and how far she would run. We had planned on her running everyday. Initially she started off pretty consistent with running however as time into the project progressed she became less and less consistent as her workload increased, AOE rush occurred, and the snow days took place. Additionally because of these things, Brooke began having to stay up later on most days and this resulted in her being unable to get up early enough to exercise before her 10:30 am classes; a routine she had enjoyed at the beginning of the project. After data collection, we believe it would definitely have been more realistic and beneficial to have had her just aim to run 3-4x a week as opposed to everyday- one because off days are good for recovery and two because it would allow Brooke to schedule working out around a busier work load. Overall, although she did only run roughly half of the days, Brooke feels this was a big improvement compared to her workout history last semester and is satisfied with the results of this project.
