wellness self-assessment
Complete the following activity and questions to gather input on your current wellness experience. You and Allen may revisit this process throughout your coaching plan.
Part I
First, review the following wellness domains for overall definitions of behaviors or activities associated with wellness in each area.
-
Movement refers to the physical activity and exercises that are performed to improve or maintain physical fitness and overall health. Movement encompasses all types of physical activity, including cardiovascular exercise, strength training, flexibility exercises, and functional movements. The goal is to enhance the body's ability to perform daily tasks efficiently and safely while improving overall physical fitness and well-being.
-
Recovery and regeneration are crucial components of fitness that involve the processes the body undergoes to repair and rebuild after physical activity or exercise. This includes rest, proper nutrition, hydration, and techniques such as stretching, foam rolling, and other modalities that help reduce muscle soreness, prevent injury, and enhance performance. Effective recovery strategies ensure that the body can adapt to the physical demands placed on it and continue to improve.
-
Sleep is a critical aspect of overall health and fitness, as it allows the body to rest, repair, and regenerate. Adequate and quality sleep is essential for optimal physical performance, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. Proper sleep hygiene, including maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and creating a conducive sleep environment, is vital for achieving the restorative benefits of sleep.
-
Nutrition refers to the intake of food and nutrients necessary to support overall health, physical performance, and recovery. A balanced diet includes macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) to fuel the body, promote muscle growth and repair, and maintain energy levels. Proper nutrition is tailored to an individual's specific needs, goals, and activity levels.
-
Mental and emotional well-being encompasses the psychological aspects of health that contribute to an individual's overall wellness. Mental and emotional health is integral to physical fitness, as stress, anxiety, and other emotional factors can impact physical performance and recovery.
