Q5: How did you find the gym class? What went well and what didn’t work?

Reflection

The second week of the training program contained of increasing the intensity of the workouts/walks and applying the changes that had to be made. Dennis followed the training program that was set and conducted his own physical activity when required. This is seen when Dennis gets involved in doing various jobs on the farm as explained in the overview of the week.

From Dennis’ feedback I am unsure as to how he is finding the walking sessions we have set him, as there is no real discussion about it in his feedback. After we talk further with Dennis about this we will know how our set sessions are going for him, if any changes need to be made, and if his is actually part taking in them. This will included a question for him to answer regarding how the set walking sessions went. There will also be another question about if you had missed a session, how you think you mental health has changed or been affected by it.

Something new that we are going to add for the following weeks of the intervention is for Dennis to measure his waist at the end of each week. This is so we can ensure that Dennis is still losing weight and not putting on any.
