Reflection Questions 1) What connections have you had from what you’ve studied in this LW course with what you’ve learned from other courses you have taken at SLCC or have learned before taking this class? Make specific references to your work in this class and in other courses. How did what you learned in other courses enhance what you learned here, and vice versa? While I have taken a number of different communications courses during my time at SLCC, these past courses have helped me communicate and befriend many different students in the class from a multitude of backgrounds. I will most miss my fellow students which made waking up at 6:50 am each Saturday much easier. Kickboxing is more difficult to relate to other courses as it is more of an active pastime and less academic I would describe, but having a scheduled weekly workout makes consistency and self discipline much easier when it comes to maintaining an active lifestyle. Perhaps by scheduling times for schoolwork and future fitness, my mind will feel less overwhelmed by the work and time it takes to balance a full time work schedule, school, sleep, time with my husband and working out. 2) Reflect on what you thought about fitness and lifelong wellness before you took this course and how you think about it now that you have completed the course. Have any of your assumptions or understandings changed? Why? What assignments/activities/readings were influential in this process? How will you approach what influenced you differently in the future?
Honestly, fitness and nutrition have been a big part of my life over the past 10 years or so. I grew up playing soccer year round, but put on considerable weight after both of my knees gave out on me. My eating habits were of a normal teenager, but I was not gifted with a metabolism to not see the side effects of my poor eating. I feel very lucky to have started my fitness journey not to lose weight, but to be healthy. The majority of my weight shed itself from making small changes to my diet and slowly making more significant changes over time. I later got into for consistent and more intense fitness and continued to see changes in weight loss, but also started to see changes in the muscular shape of my body. I have always enjoyed martial art workouts which is why I chose Kickboxing as my requirement for Lifelong Wellness. While over the past few months I went through some situations which caused me great physiological pain and heartache, I have let my fitness routine dwindle. I hope that Kickboxing has helped me get back to my routine as I dearly miss the feeling of being fit and strong.
