Homework for Weeks 1-3

WEEK #3:

• Read Chapter #3 and "skim" Chapter #4.

• Create a weekly SMART Goal using the class handout guidelines.

  • Directions: First determine a long-term goal for improving your health.  Decide on a "behavior" you'd like to change that can improve your general health or fitness.  The long-term goal ends with this class the first part of December.  Using your long-term goal and your SMART Goal guidelines, come up with a plan for the next week.  Just follow the SMART Goal handout and list the information for each of the five SMART letters.  A couple of sentences should be plenty for each entry.  For our first draft, you can hand write on the actual handout or do your own on the computer or by hand on separate paper.  We will discuss and revise in class next Monday.  *Also refer to your "Stages of Change" handout and class discussions on behavior change.

  • If you don't want to change a health-related behavior this semester that is fine--but you still have to do the assignment.  You need to learn how to navigate through behavior change--fake it if you have to!  Create a "sample" behavior change goal, go through the process of using SMART goals, discuss with the class, etc. and you'll do fine.  Hopefully you can use this knowledge later when you are ready to change a behavior.  Remember, no one can force you to change--YOU must be ready.  I can only require the assignment.  The rest is up to you according to your own timing.

Week #2:

• Holiday.  Continue with Week #1 assignments.

Week #1:
