Most everyone knows that physical
activity and healthy eating are very important aspects of living a healthy
life. However, the rate of many preventable diseases linked to inactivity
and unhealthy dietary choices, such as heart disease, type II diabetes,
certain cancers, high blood pressure, obesity, etc., are on the rise.
If most of us know what it takes to live a healthy life, why isn't the
majority of the population in the U.S. doing so?
Barriers & obstacles we
face in our daily life and environment could be contributing factors to
why living a "healthy" lifestyle may be harder today than ever.
If the current tends continue, in just a few short years it will be harder
to live a healthy lifestyle than it is today.
In this lab we will look at
and discuss various barriers and obstacles you may have in reaching your
goals set in last weeks lab. By learning how to face and overcome possible
barriers and obstacles, you will increase your chance of success in reaching
your goals.
The Barriers Survey, below,
looks at various areas in your life that could be barriers and/or obstacles
hindering you from being as active as you would like. The lower your score,
below 2, the less likely the area is a barrier or obstacle for you being
active. However, if you get a higher score (above 2) in a certain area,
you have identified a potential barrier or obstacle that may be preventing
you from being as active as you would like.
