Introduction

For an accurate fitness plan it is important that you analyze your nutrition intake as well as your exercise activities. You will use technology to help you develop a well rounded fitness plan. You will create a brochure to emphasize the key aspects of your fitness plan for your reference as you use your workout plan over the winter break. This project may be completed by yourself, or if you would like, you may complete this with a partner. Just make sure your partner has similar fitness goals as you do.
