In Madison’s comprehensive PE course they discuss the media’s impact on body image. Here are her thoughts about it. “As a Psychology major, I am very familiar with the research done on media’s impact on body image. The current societal pressures present unrealistic expectations for men and women. The conditioned responses that come from these negative body images create eating disorders, diet stressors, body dysmorphia, anxiety (GAD), etc. Society pressures women to be thin as a sign of being physically fit and men to be muscular as a sign of being physically fit. I have personal experience with the negative repercussions of these toxic ideas of beauty, which is why a healthy lifestyle is so important to me now. However, I am not society’s idea of what “in shape” should be. I am not a size 0 and my thighs touch. I am muscular and have a more athletic, which is not society’s idea of “fit” despite the fact that I am in better shape than most.”

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Madison is pretty great and we’re proud to have her in class! Thanks, Madison!

The thing that I like most about my Carone Learning course is the fact that I didn’t just learn how to stay fit. I also learned basic anatomy and food groups and how the body works. This will definitely be useful to me in the future.

What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?
Something that I learned in my Carone Learning course that will help me most in my life is how to make a workout schedule and stay on path to achieving my goals. I think that staying motivated to break down barriers is so satisfying, and it can be used in many contexts, not just fitness.

How has your Carone Learning course helped you improve your level of health or fitness? Carone Learning has definitely helped me improve my level of health and fitness because it was something that kept me exercising for a certain amount of time each week. It also had me target almost every single muscle in the body, and focused on stretching and strengthening.

My cFitness Academy instructor has helped me with my course and goals by being very motivational. On all of my assignments, I would receive encouraging comments, and I would be sent emails from my instructor with tips on how to stay on track with my course, and how to perform different exercises to target all my muscle groups

Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?
I signed up for a course through cFitness Academy because I needed more physical education credits in order to graduate. This online course has been beneficial because I am definitely more aware about my fitness level and I am so much more educated about anatomy/physiology than I was before.

Here’s what Hailyn’s teacher had to say about her: 
” Hailyn has continually provided high quality work, kept in close communication with me throughout the course, and was willing to make the time to get caught up in the course when she fell behind. She’s also made great progress with her fitness and health goals throughout the course, even though it’s been a short amount of time. ”

In Hailyn’s Advanced PE course they discuss symptoms of being out of shape – here is what she said:
“Symptoms that I have experienced when being “out of shape” is the loss of breath, more cramping, fatigue, headaches, high resting heart rate, mood swings, and weak/aching muscles. Symptoms that I have experienced when being “in shape” are being able to exercise without feeling winded, lower resting heart rate, less anxiety/stress, more energy, and less cramping. In general, when someone is in shape, less stress is shown by the body while exercising. The person usually feels happier when in shape and is healthier.”

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Hailyn is pretty great and we’re proud to have her in class! Thanks, Hailyn!
