B. Fitness Log: Practice fitness for a minimum of 30 minutes, 3 times a week, for 3 weeks. Complete the log chronicling the activities you chose and be specific. Be sure to vary your fitness experiences—in other words, doing cardio for each activity is not acceptable.

C. Eating Log: Keep a detailed log for 3 days, of everything you consume including: beverages, alcohol, snacks, candy, meals, gum, cigarettes, vitamins, etc. Record the quantity of food you eat. Be as absolutely specific as you can—for example, we would like for you to actually list whether you had one, two, or three scopes of ice cream. Reflect on whether you feel the food choices are healthy and nutritious.

D. Sleep Log: Experience the benefits of sleeping seven to eight hours a night for 3 days in a row. Like the “unplugged” exercise, be sure to PREPARE for this so that you are not trying to do it during a three-day stretch where you have two papers due. Record your experience on the sleep log.

E. Genetics / Risk Taking: Have a discussion with members of your family to identify 3 risk factors associated with your genetic history for illnesses/health problems (e.g., Type II Diabetes, Prostate Cancer) and then comment on ways that you can help reduce this risk. Then, identify and reflect on 3 of yourcurrent risk behaviors (e.g., drinking too much alcohol, drug and cigarette use, poor diet, etc.) that, if continued, may negatively affect your health, and then record what you can do to reduce your risk.
