Recently, I have been focusing more on the “Action” aspects of CAS. This I mainly do through exercise every day. It is important to exercise, as your muscles will shrink and become less effective if they are not exposed to any challenge or tension frequently. Muscles contraction is a result of neurological signals between the brain and the muscles. Your muscles adapt to tasks that you complete daily, and so your muscle tissues are not exposed to any tension when they are completing trivial tasks. Due to this, I think it is vital to expose my muscles to work every morning in order to prevent them from shrinking. I try my best to complete pushups, situps, jumping jacks and squats each morning. I record my heart rate after working out, in order to determine the intensity of the workout.

I believe this repeated daily exercise in the morning is under the CAS learning outcome “showing perseverance and commitment.”  If you have a healthy routine every morning that you stick to, it is unlikely that you will deviate from said routine. Not deviating from this fixed routine grows your commitment to the task, and since you are more committed to a healthy task it is less likely that you will forget it. Through this, you show commitment by repeating the exercise regimen despite potential setbacks, meaning your commitment to the task will help you stay focused and make everyday consistent.
