Time to read
Read the following passage from Little changes make
good habits easier carefully. Look up any new words
in a dictionary.
Here are five ways to help you make better food and
exercise habits:
1. Identify the changes you want to make and make
a daily reminder. This reminder can be a sign on
the bathroom mirror. The sign can be as simple as,
Have you eaten your fruit today? or a picture of a
piece of fruit.
2. Make realistic and slow changes.
To prevent breaking your resolutions, work on
changing one habit at a time. If you are used to
eating a large dessert every night, eliminating the
dessert completely will likely produce cravings.
However, if you gradually decrease the size of your
dessert portion, you will hardly notice the change.
Try to replace bad habits with good ones.

It is often easier to replace a bad habit with a good
habit than it is to simply eliminate the bad habit.

OVERCOMING BAD HABITS

There is a worldwide reason why bad habits are
so difficult to overcome. It is that they are on a
deeper level. That is, we always gain a sense of
emotional satisfaction from doing bad habits.
It gives us a pleasant feeling each time we
continue the habit. This positive reinforcement
that goes on makes it difficult to break the habit.
If its smoking, the reinforcement might be a
sense of relaxation. If its chewing on a pen, the
reinforcement might be a sense of comfort. If its
gambling, the reinforcement might be a sense of
achievement for winning money and relaxation
at the same time. But after the reinforcement
comes theguilt that the habit is bad.

key elements or concepts to have a clear picture of what a complete exercising plan is like.
Development

concepts or aspects related to planning a personal fitness program.
Review the activities which gave you some good hints to have an idea on which aspects to take into
consideration in your project profile. These activities provided you with some good background, and with this
you will be able to perform or do your project efficiently.
Wrap up
You can include aspects such as a special diet, daily routine, good habits, medical examination, kinds of exercises
and sports, food you eat, or more. You can ask other people or institutions that are experts in planning and
organizing personal fitness programs in El Salvador to help you out.
