This is a discussion question Discuss your personal self-assessment findings. Include the following: perceived barriers to achieving the national recommended goals for physical activity as well as strategies for maintenance of already achieved goals or for future achievement of yet to be reached goals and responses to self-reflection questions in module description above. Reflect on a physical activity you have always wished to engage in but have never have. What creative strategies can you implement to remove the barriers so that you can now do so?(Module description) Begin this week’s activities by viewing the Healthy People 2020 website at http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/physical-activity. Review the material on the overview, objective, and national snapshot tabs on this webpage. Select and review at least 1 of the consumer information resources on the interventions and resources tabs. Consider: What is my level of physical activity? How does it impact how I function at work, in school, and in the community? When my patients look at me what do they see? Am I a role model for physical activity and health? Consider the impact on your credibility as a patient educator. Typical healthy slender individual with lack of activity due to work, school and family commitments, I don’t tend to get as much physicality as I would want by being more active and joining fitness classes to stay fit.
