Personal Fitness Journey Guide

Use the scenario and training log to explore goal-setting, fitness testing and safe training. You can answer about the fictional student or adapt ideas to a suitable activity of your own. Choose activity levels that are safe for you, warm up before exercise and stop if you feel unwell or have pain.

A starting point

Ari wants to feel fitter for weekend tramping. Ari can currently jog continuously for 12 minutes and would like to build cardiovascular endurance. Ari has access to a safe local path and can train on some—but not all—days.

1.Which component of fitness is Ari mainly aiming to improve for weekend tramping? Explain briefly how it helps.

2.Write a SMART goal for Ari based on the starting point. Include a measurable target and a time frame.

3.Ari sometimes cannot use the local path because of heavy rain. Name one practical alternative and explain how it keeps the plan on track.

Read the training log

Ari records one week of activity. Effort is rated from 1 (very easy) to 10 (maximal).

Day

Activity

Duration

Effort / 10

Monday

Easy jog

15 min

Wednesday

Brisk walk with hills

25 min

Saturday

Easy jog

18 min

4.Using the training log, how many minutes of activity did Ari complete altogether? Show or describe your calculation.

5.Which test would best help Ari track cardiovascular endurance over time?

A timed, standardised run or walk over the same distance
A sit-and-reach flexibility test
A handgrip strength test
A standing long-jump test

6.Ari plans to add 20 minutes to every jog next week because the sessions felt manageable. Explain why a gradual increase is safer and more effective than this sudden jump.

7.During a jog, Ari's breathing and heart rate increase. Explain how these responses help the body exercise.

8.After Saturday's jog, Ari feels unusually tired and has sore legs. Which response is the most sensible?

Take appropriate recovery, check how the body feels, and reduce or rest from training if needed
Do a maximal sprint session immediately to speed up improvement
Ignore the symptoms and add another hard session
Stop all physical activity permanently

9.Suggest a simple three-session plan for Ari's next week. Include a session focus and duration for each, with recovery between harder efforts. Keep the plan realistic and safe.

10.Name one fair way Ari could decide whether the six-week goal has been reached, and explain why the comparison should be consistent.
