Consider how your life might change in the next five years. You might change schools, find a job, go to college, or move to a new home. If you find physical activities that you can do amidst these changes, maintaining a healthy lifestyle will be easier.

In this activity, choose a health-enhancing cardio exercise that you think you will be able to do regularly for the next five years. Perform a total of 60 minutes of the activity. You can divide the workouts into convenient increments. For example, you might swim laps six times, 10 minutes at a time. Remember to measure your heart rate before, during, and after one of your workout sessions, and record it in the heart rate chart.
