Reflection

For the final week of the 6-week intervention, Dennis was really pleased with his results made in the last week. Compared to week fives intervention, Dennis told us the the running was a bit to much for him due to his age. So for this weeks program we toned if down a little by jogging at intense speeds without pushing him too much. In the overview of the week Dennis said that he did jogging at 80% for 60 minutes, which is more hard than what was set for him. Instead this shows us that he is able to set himself exercises that best suits for how he is feeling that day. Dennis feels as though the training program has been very positive, through believing that his fitness levels have improved each week. From this intervention Dennis now has an in site of what sort of activity and exercises he can do to keep his mental health in a stable condition.
