Behavior Modification-Learning Chapter


Exercise 


The behavior modification that I journaled and tracked for myself are the minutes of exercise I do daily. I try to stay active but with a lot of school work and my daughters after school activities it is a challenge. I tried to walk a total of 30 minutes each day. I walked around campus, around the hospital while I was on my lunch break while at work or around my neighborhood.



My reward for exercising daily was having a piece of chocolate only on days that I completed the 30 minutes of walking.











Day 1-2:    I did great! 
Day 3: Challenge was not having enough time and I only walked 15 minutes.
Day 4: I did great and walked 30 minutes!
Day 5: Not enough time and did not exercise
Day 6: Walked 20 minutes
Day 7: Not enough time and did not walk.

Overall, I did fairly on my behavior modification. I made time for exercising on most days but can work on improving this by scheduling it in to my daily routine.
I challenge everyone to try to make time for exercise because of the many benefits which include physiological and emotional benefits.

Here are some of the ways regular exercise benefits your body and brain.

  1. Hey Cindy! I really liked your use of GIFs and emojis! I also like that you included facts about how exercise benefits your body. Did you do this before this assignment? Will you continue to do this and try to walk/exercise for 30 minutes everyday even if you don't reward yourself with chocolate?
