Intervention: Week 3

Overview of week 3

This was the third week our intervention was put into place. This week was reasonably successful. Our client is happy with the set program at this point, and it is a suitable difficulty. However, one major problem is that our client has not lost any weight so far. To fix this problem we may need to increase the intensity as well as the amount. Our client has completed the set exercise, as well as his usual chosen exercise, and has responded to the reflection questions to give us a clear understanding of how he is going.

Monday: Set intervention workout

Tuesday: 30 minute gym session with personal trainer.

Wednesday: work – conference meeting

Thursday: Golf

Friday: Set intervention workout

Saturday: Farm work – Cutting wood, digging.

Sunday: Farm work – Cutting wood, digging.

Reflection

This weeks intervention was quite successful. Dennis is happy with the workouts so far, however we may need to increase the intensity a lot more before the end of the 6 weeks to ensure he is able to reach his overall goal. We will also get Dennis to provide us with a measurement of his waist so we can keep track of exactly how much weight he has lost. As well as increasing intensity, we will also change the program to encourage Dennis to do even more exercise. This will help him reach his long term and short term goals while also making him fit.
