My Values of Physical Activity

AUTHOR’S NOTE: The values that physical activity gives me is health, enjoyment, challenge, and self-expression because it gets me to where I want to be, and helps me accomplish my goals.

 The way that physical activity gives me self-expression is that it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel like I’m working towards something important, and it is. It helps me lose weight and when I realize that I have lost weight, it makes me feel great.

 Since the beginning of the year, I have beat all of my fitness tests by quite a bit which has made me very proud of myself. Self-expression really is a big part of my values in regards to physical activity. Along with self-expression, health is another one of my bigger values. Since I moved to Pewaukee, I have lost a lot of weight and have gotten a lot healthier, and I’ve gotten a lot stronger and faster. I have also started eating healthier, so that has also helped with my health.

 My other values of physical activity is challenge and enjoyment. Without a challenge in your way, how are you supposed to be able to achieve anything? When you have no challenge at all, it’s not really anything to be proud of. But when you overcome a big challenge, that’s when you should be proud of yourself. I beat my mile goal by two minutes; I should be proud of that. It was a challenge for me and I beat it.

 Enjoyment is pretty important because if you don’t like what you are doing, you shouldn’t be doing it. When I am wrestling or playing football, I love doing it. When I play football and I make a good play or am wrestling and I win my match, it brings a smile to my face because I am happy that it happened and I did it. When you like what you do, you will find enjoyment in it no matter what happens.

 Getting me to where I want to be and helping me accomplish my goals are the reason why self-expression, health, enjoyment, and challenges are my values of physical activity.
