Instructions for your Training Blog

PAF 3O1 Personal Fitness Blog

Part of your evaluation will be regular reflection on your health and personal fitness throughout the semester. You will put your thoughts on paper by maintaining a personal fitness blog as you proceed through the semester. Only you and your teacher will be able to identify your posts as your own.

Your blog posts should include updates on your goals, the type of training you completed that day, nutrition and how you feel about your progress. It may also include questions or thoughts about the theory part of this course. You may update your blog daily with shorter posts or at the end of each week with a longer post. If your memory is poor, daily posts may be the way to go. Blog posts will be dated so that at the end of the semester, your teacher will be able to see how often you’ve posted.

Your blog will be submitted as part of your culminating task for this course.
