Create a SMART Health Goal and EXPLAIN how it qualifies as a SMART goal.

My goal is to get 8 hours of sleep every night this quarter.


Specific number of hours given

Can easily measure number of hours you sleep per night

8 hours is the recommended amount of sleep, and it should be attainable if I manage my time properly

Sleep is important to help me do well in school, so it is relevant to me being able to make progress in school and in my personal life

I set the time frame for the first quarter so I can practice getting enough sleep for nine weeks and then I can reassess if that goal is right for me

On the whiteboard, create a flowchart to show how a sedentary behavior can lead to a poor health outcome (include at least four steps)

Example:

Sitting for long periods of time --> pressure is put on the spine, causing it to curve --> damage to nerves and back muscles develops over time --> pain from curved spine makes regular exercise difficult, resulting in a greater risk of developing diabetes or heart disease
