STAIRWAY TO LIFETIME HEALTH, WELLNESS, AND FITNESS

STAIRWAY TO LIFETIME HEALTH, WELLNESS, AND FITNESS

This is an excerpt from Charles B. Corbin, Darla M. Castelli, Benjamin A. Sibley, and Guy C. Le Masurier's Fitness for Life, 7th Edition, and Cloth with Web Resources.

Do you maintain a healthy way of life? Do you consume a balanced diet? Do you engage in any physical activity? Many teenagers stay active and eat healthily, but will you do the same when you're older and on your own? Will you continue to engage in the same activities that you do now? If you responded "no" to any of these questions, you should start making plans to live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life. Climbing the Stairway to Lifetime Fitness, Health, and Wellness is one approach to achieving this aim.

The Path to Long-Term Fitness, Health, and Well-Being.

STEP 1: ADHERING TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE (DIRECTED BY OTHERS)

Consider your eating habits, physical activities, and other lifestyle choices. When you were a child, you relied on others to make these decisions for you. You've started making more decisions for yourself. You'll be virtually entirely responsible for your own decisions as an adult. Living out the healthy lifestyle choices that others have made or enabled for you is a fantastic start, but it's up to you to continue climbing the stairwell.

Step 2: Getting in Shape, Health, and Wellness (Directed by Others)

You will increase your fitness, health, and wellness if you keep to healthy living practises, but the outcome is still dependent on others. If you get in shape as a result of activities suggested by coaches and physical education teachers, for example, your fitness is dependent on their direction. You might also eat well because your parents buy and cook the majority of your meals. Others assisting you in adopting healthy lifestyles that lead to fitness, health, and wellness is beneficial. However, it is not until you reach the third stairwell step that you begin to make your own decisions and become more self-sufficient.

STEP 3: INFORMATION SEARCHING

Obtaining information is a crucial aspect of the scientific method. Reading the book and participating in class discussions are two methods for gathering information. You can also learn by engaging with people in your family, extracurricular activities, and community. Self-assessment also aids in the discovery of personal requirements and interests (e.g., fitness, current eating patterns, posture, and back health). As you progress toward autonomy, or the freedom to make your own well-informed judgments, knowledge will aid you.

Step 4: Information Processing, Understanding, and Application

Getting knowledge is crucial, but having it isn't enough—you also need to study and organize it so that you can grasp it better. You can use the modified scientific method to help you figure out if your data is accurate and trustworthy. Self-management skills can also help you digest and understand information if you learn and practice them.

STEP 5: PRACTICE SELF-DIRECTED HEALTHY LIFESTYLES

You learned how to gather, process, understand, and use information at stage 5. You've acquired and exercised self-management skills for planning, adopting, and maintaining healthy lifestyles and relationships. In some ways, this phase is similar to the first, but you've moved on from relying on others to making your own judgments and handling your own problems.

STEP 6: ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING LONG-TERM FITNESS, HEALTH, AND WELLNESS

You have gained full autonomy and proficiency in employing self-management, decision-making, and problem-solving skills when you reach the top step of the stairwell. You've accepted responsibility for your own fitness, health, and wellness throughout your life, as well as your personal and social actions. As a result of your well-informed choices, you'll be well on your way to achieving and maintaining the benefits of healthy lifestyle behaviors.
