Bray et al. (2017) explains that obesity is a chronic and progressive disease but is often not treated the same as other conditions in this category. A significant change in my overall lifestyle which will improve my general health status is losing some weight and exercising. To lose some weight, it is very important to begin by changing my diet to add the proper nutrition to take the first step towards a healthy life. The next step will be focusing on eating a balanced diet. A healthy diet together with exercising is the key to a healthy life.  This journey will include cutting down too many beverages, sugar intake and junk food. Exercising helps lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and again reduces the chances of heart attacks.

To implement this, a budget will be drawn to cover specific meal preps. The use of technology has made it possible for easy access to weight loss programs which can guide me through this journey. Again, registering for a fitness access will encourage me to exercise in groups with other determined members. There are also abundant of online tools which can help me stick to the goals l will set from the beginning. These goals include planning meals ahead of time and drawing a schedule for exercises as well as setting deadlines. This will guide me to stay on track. Every weight loss journey can hit a rough patch at some point. In setting up myself for success, there is a need to consider all the different ways that losing weight may improve your social life, physical health, and psychological health. This consist of including fun activities like Zumba or hiking to make the routine dynamic. It is true that a weight loss program becomes more encouraging or motivating when an individual begins to see results.

Nevertheless, if the results are not seen, the routines must be changed. A dietician or exercise coaches can also guide me by setting up weight loss plans to help me achieve my goal. To stay on track l will make a list of all the benefits of weight loss benefits that mean the most to you. This will serve as a referral for me on the days I feel discouraged. I started this journey on Monday. Apart from losing weight, I am beginning to understand that living a healthy lifestyle helps release stress. I added having enough rest at the end of the day to the plan. Even though l have not been able to see weight loss results yet, with determination and discipline, l am able to see certain improvement in my overall lifestyle and wellbeing.

For the past decade I have been experiencing consistent fatigue issues and became severe when I started the master's degree program while working at the same time. The concern is that after long hours of working, coming home for discussions and assignments drains away energy. This has urged me to embark on popular and affordable cardio workouts to build on stamina and maintain weight as well.  

Step one: Embarking on popular and affordable cardio workout for stamina and weight management. 

Step two: This includes outdoor running for an hour, walking on pavement for an hour, tracks jogging, and climbing stairs up and down. 

Step three: All the above-mentioned cardio workouts started a year ago, and their implementation has been effective and consistent. 

Step Four: The implementation of cardio workouts has been successful, except for barriers such as costs of implementation. For instance, dieting, and acquisition of training materials. Weather interruptions affect the quality of implementation, and problems with muscle soreness. To ensure effective implementation of popular affordable cardio workout training requires certain resources like quality jogging sneakers, dieting which includes eating green vegetables and fruits such as bananas, oranges, salads, blueberries, blue, yellow, purple vegetables to help build brains, normalizing blood pressure, strengthening immune systems, and rejuvenating body metabolism, as well as reducing vascular and heart disease (Kuswandi, 2020). Eating oatmeal and cereal for breakfast. However, some of these fruits and vegetables are not recommended for overweight and diabetes, though it might be useful products, using copious quantities can be harmful. The costs of purchasing are expensive, and I hope rebates or price reductions will make them affordable. 

Weather is a natural phenomenon which is impossible to control, and the best solution is to acquire personal treadmills at home which is expensive. I suggest there should be a tax rebate on sports equipment like treadmills so that most people can afford them for personal use. Besides, the government or the states should build a community gym to help eliminate the excessive monthly cost of gym expenses. The problem with muscle soreness may require excessive water intake, reducing training every day to 2-3 hours, if possible, at slow pace, massaging with foam rolling, and choosing the right loading during strenuous training, for example stairs climbing (Mylsidayu, 2019). Lastly, a lot has been learned from the activities of this week. For instance, how to manage costs, overcoming challenges of adoptions and implementations, and ability to follow the routine cardiovascular training with minimum costs and ensuring quality of training, eating right, and overcoming soreness at affordable costs.
