Final Reflection

How did the intervention go?

I feel as though this 6-week intervention has gone really well, as it is evident that progress has been made throughout each week. Even though Dennis didn’t reach his final goal of getting his weight under 80 kg, he has still made a large amount of progress. This is due to his age and physical condition, it has restricted Dennis to take part in high energy workouts. In this case it has meant that it will now take longer than six weeks for Dennis to get his weight under 80 kg. Another reason why Dennis was unable to loose weight is because each day he is currently taking Lorstst for his cholesterol and Nordip for his blood pressure regulation. As well as Asprin that thins his blood. By taking this medication, it only prevents Dennis to loose weight slightly. But in order for it to work Dennis must maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly, and that is what we aimed to do throughout the intervention.

What was Dennis’ feedback?

Dennis is overall very happy with part taking in this intervention and is glad that he was given the opportunity to get involved in it. He is very positive with the outcome of the intervention as he now know’s what sort of exercises to do for him to loose weight. Now that the intervention is finished for Dennis, he said that he will continue to do the same amount of exercise each week. This is excellent as we have showed Dennis that it is possible for him to try out and complete various workouts throughout the week.

What would I do differently next time?

Something I would do differently next time is to find out and understand the level of difficulty our client is at, through getting Dennis to complete a survey on what intensity he trains at. By knowing this we would be able to set the right training sessions, so that we can achieve the clients end result. By doing this for Dennis we would have been able to start out the intervention by jogging at a slow pace and than increase the pace as each week progressed on. This would have allowed Dennis to loose more weight by getting his heart rate up in more jogging sessions.

Have I changed Dennis’ life?

I believe that we have changed Dennis’ life throughout this intervention as there is evidence of progress and achievements occurring each week. This was made by his dedication to take part in the intervention, as well as stepping up to the challenge and trying new types of exercise over the corse of these past 6-weeks. I believe that Dennis is overall extremely happy with the turn of of this intervention on him as he is now going to continue doing the same amount of exercise in the many weeks going forward.
