Introduction

Hello, my name is John and I am currently going to Simon Fraser. This will be the very first blog I ever write so I am not quite sure where to begin. I am Chinese but born in the Philippines and I grew up in Canada (confusing I know). I am currently taking Kin 140 and will be talking about physical activity for my blog. In doing so, I hope to target people around my age group (18-25) to start doing some sort of physical activity as soon as possible. I decided to choose this topic because I recently have been weight training thanks to my friend who encourages me to go with him to the gym. After 3-4 months I'm glad I started going with him because it just makes me feel more energized and I feel generally more fit and not as lazy as I was before. I believe this is important because people in the age group of 18-25 have been influenced by technology and spend hours upon hours on the internet browsing youtube or trying to find what people are up to on facebook. People need information about physical activity in order to realize that they need to exercise and go out instead of hiding behind a computer screen. From these blogs, I hope to increase my knowledge about physical activity and find new alternative activities that would be enjoyable but still help me in getting exercise and increasing my physical activities. The main message in my topic is that people need to go out and get some physical activity in their daily lives. This will help us become healthier individuals and would help us feel a sense of accomplishment since we went out and did something instead of sitting down and wasting away.
