Personal Fitness Merit Badge Fitness Plan


Pers Fit is one of the last big merit badges between me and the rank of Eagle Scout. The two major requirements are "
  1. Outline a comprehensive 12-week physical fitness program using the results of your fitness tests. Be sure your program incorporates the endurance, intensity, and warm-up guidelines discussed in the Personal Fitness merit badge pamphlet. Before beginning your exercises, have the program approved by your counselor and parents.
    1. Complete the physical fitness program you outlined in requirement 7. Keep a log of your fitness program activity (how long you exercised; how far you ran, swam, or biked; how many exercise repetitions you completed; your exercise heart rate; etc.). Repeat the aerobic fitness, muscular strength, and flexibility tests every two weeks and record your results. After the 12th week, repeat all four tests, record your results, and show improvement in each one. Compare and analyze your preprogram and postprogram body composition measurements. Discuss the meaning and benefit of your experience, and describe your long-term plans." (from http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Personal_Fitness#Personal_Fitness_Requirements)

I just watched my good friend graduate from high school...
I have many thoughts. Many more feelings, but under it all is the knowledge that God will care for her no matter where she goes. It is my deepest prayer for her that she will always follow Him first, because I know that He has more blessings lined up for her there. However, no matter where she goes, I hold to His love for her, and His guiding hand in her life. I am so happy to see, my quiet, introverted, humble friend, laugh and joke with strangers tonight. I am always blessed by her smile, it was so uplifting to see her beaming from ear to ear, in spite of her exhaustion. God has truly made a masterpiece in her and I am sure beyond doubt, that He will continue to do so in her as long as she runs with perseverance after His heart. This is for you Nikki. You are a masterpiece dear sister. Never forget His unending love for you.  I love you very much dear.
This ones for you beloved sister. May God pour out His blessings upon you with all the awesome measure of His infinite imagination.
I love you very much Nikki, please remember that you have a brother a little ways behind you who is eager to hear every new thing God does in you.
