PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LIFEPLAN
I am a 24 year old college graduate from Burlington, Ontario. I attended Sheridan College in the Arts Program after graduating from M.M. Robinson High School in Burlington, Ontario. I played competitive sports throughout high school (e.g. Basketball, track & field) but only recreational teams during college. I am looking to improve all facets of my fitness (Cardiorespiratory, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, and Flexibility). After securing a job in my field within Burlington, I will outline my plan to pursue my physical activity goals throughout the various weather seasons.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LIFEPLAN - Fall Activity I will be looking to improve my muscular strength and endurance through rock climbing. The fact that this activity places a tremendous amount of stress of upper body strength it will definitely test my tendonitis in both my shoulders and elbows. The unlimited membership allows me to train anytime of the day as the facility is open from 10:30am-10:30pm. I am also hoping to address the weakness in my posterior chain muscles as my back is particulary lagging in strength. The constant strain in pulling and maintaining posture should pose a useful challenge to address this problem. I will be attending these sessions during my lunch break or after my day job has ended for the day.
