Lifting weights in a way that words different muscle groups. Mondays are full body workouts using legs
and arms, Wednesdays are more focused on legs, and Fridays focus on the hips, knees, and hamstrings.

Body Composition
Height 67 inches
Weight 175
Body Mass Index 175/2.2=79.545 Risk Level= Overweight
67x.0254=1.702
79.545/1.702m^2= 27.5
My height is about 5 foot and seven inches which is fairly tall for a girl. I am taller than most of my
friends and play sports where my height benefits me.
I weigh about 175 pounds which fluctuates depending on if I am in season or not playing softball. I can
weigh more or less depending on the amount I am working out and lifting weights. This causes my
muscle mass to fluctuate.
My body mass index shows that my BMI is roughly around 27.5. Based off of the BMI chart this would
mean that I am overweight. Being that I play a collegiate sport, I have more muscle mass than the
average person and tend to put on more muscle when I am in season, meaning that this isn’t an
accurate reading. The BMI chart doesn’t take into consideration for those who play heavy weight lifting
sports.
What did you learn about body composition? How can you apply this in your life/to your program?
What I learned about body composition is that it can tell us a lot about our bodies. That is through
knowing if we are in a good weight range, weigh too much, or not enough. With that information we are
able to tell if we are putting ourselves at risk for disease and illness which thankfully I am not. I can apply
this to my workout/exercise routines to incorporate different activities and exercise to either shed those
pounds or gain them if need be.
Challenges/limitations/solutions to exercise (i.e. what are the obstacles that get in your way overall or
with each component of fitness and what are solutions to overcome?)
Some obstacles that get in the way of each different component of fitness is just daily activities whether
that is class, work, homework, family, or even animals to take care of. Thankfully, for me, I play
collegiate softball and am provided with strength and conditioning coaches who are paid to help us with
things like our weight and performance. This is a solution for me, but for someone else that won’t work.
What I would do if I didn’t have sports is to encourage those family members to help you get active and
push you towards your goals or when taking care of those animals, get in activity with them!
