The shape I chose was a basketball because I spend a large portion of my free time playing. Basketball affects all three areas of my health and wellness. Basketball affects my physical health because I am exercising the entire time I play. In practice we not only run but lift weights and do other strength training exercises. Because I am physically tired I also tend to sleep better when I play basketball. Besides improving my physical health, basketball also has a positive influence on my mental and emotional health by lowering my stress. When I play basketball, I work out a lot of my frustrations from the day. ……… STEP 6: CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE
