Test your Physical Activity Readiness
Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.
If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, then please download this Par-Q & You Questionnaire and bring it with you when you meet with HPI.
What are your Fitness Goals?
The first step in making any progress on your physical health is to make some goals. Goals are important for several reasons: they motivate, they guide you in a direction, and you can evaluate your progress along the way. For starters, read this article on Fitness Goal Setting for a basic overview of the first steps in making progress on your health.
