Exercise Regimen
The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to demonstrate the application of the basic principles of physical fitness in the development of your own personal exercise plan.

Perhaps, your flexibility is not as good as you would like it to be and you want to work on a goal/fitness plan related to this component. Remember, you are creating a plan...something you would implement in the future. If you have a health condition that is temporarily prohibiting you from exercising (i.e. sports injury, pregnancy), please develop your plan according to the guidelines given in this assignment, making it as realistic as possible.

For example, you may want to set a goal that speaks to doing a specific type of aerobic activity at a certain % of your target heart rate zone by a specified date or being able to...
