d will then ask each student to download
a MyFitnessPal by Under Armour. Within this app the
g students will keep a diary of what they have eaten,
o how much water they have consumed and how
g much exercise they participated in. The diary will be
y updated daily for two weeks. As the instructor I will
also keep a diary with the students. The App will
track progress and at the end of the two weeks the
app will give a detailed print out of how the student
is tracking health wise and if they are making the
right or wrong choices when it comes to eating,
exercising and water consumption. This is a great
eye-opening experience as many students do not
realize how much or little they have eaten
throughout the day and how much that can impact
your overall health. It allows the students to choose
if they want to set healthy goals to achieve each
month or weekly if they continue to use the
application. My hope as an instructor is to allow the
students to see what their overall health looks like in
a broader fashion and how they can change things
or alter them to be more healthy. This also impacts
how they feel and I would challenge them to create
goals within the app and see if it has an impact on
them physically and mentally. This application can

assignment individually the students will then be
broken up into groups of 3 or 4. By this time we have
thoroughly discussed after reviewing their diaries
what a healthy lifestyle could look like for them.
Within their small groups I would like the students
to utilize Google Drive to design and implement
what they think would be the ultimate schedule of a
healthy conscious person. For example what would
that person eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner and
also how much exercise would that person
participate in. I would like them to collaborate at
home and during class using each of their own
inputs into one document. Furthermore, I want
them to create a schedule for a person who is not
health conscious and share what they think their
schedule and eating habits would look like. Once the
students have completed their schedules I would
like them to share those schedules with other
groups using Google Drive so they can see the
similarities and differences. This will lead to
discussions of how healthy choices affect your life
and how they can impact you socially, emotionally
and physically. By allowing the students to see first
hand how a day to day schedule should look for a
healthy individual it may help the students set their
own personal health goals. That will be my role as
