This was the second week our intervention was put into place. Our client completed this weeks intervention and responded to the reflection questions. So far our intervention has been going very well, our client is happy with the amount of exercise and the intensity of the workout. Our clients results will start to quickly increase, and he will start to get closer to reaching his overall goal. I feel that our intervention is going very well as our client is happy and feels that he is being pushed and making progress. Our client is happy with the intervention at the moment and the intensity will increase throughout the 6 weeks. One thing we may need to consider is adding or altering reflection questions to get a clearer understanding of how our client is going.

Summary
This week, we made some changes to the intervention program. This included removing the gym session as it did not fit in with our clients weekly schedule. Our client is happy with the intervention at this point in time however I feel as though we need to either vary reflection questions or add in some more to get a more in depth understanding of how the exercises are working for our client. These questions will include; ‘How did you find the set walking/jogging sessions?’, ‘Did you miss a training session this week? How do you think your mental health has been changed or affected by this?’ and ‘Do you think this weeks training sessions were helpful in reaching your final goal?’. Our client will also provide us with a measurement of his waist so that we can track his progress towards his final goal.
