Why I Choose My Topic
The reason I choose the topic of fitness was because it is something that means a great deal to me. Also I know first hand what it is like gaining that extra-unwanted weight in college and that there can be some difficulty adjusting to the college lifestyle.
In my video package I selected students who attend Point Park University and who I know take working out, staying fit and healthy seriously to an extent but also have a life outside of the gym to prove to people you can do both. During my planning of the video I selected the two students because I know how motivated they are in the gym and I know that motivation is contagious. I know if people see how motivated you can be at the gym I hope hey could start doing the same for themselves.
Moreover, on my wordpress site, I included two outside source pictures, that I did not take but have saved to my computer because I know they are helpful. The one is a workout that people can follow at home or at the gym if they choose. All they have to do is go on my site and save the picture to their phone and the workout will literally be at their finger tips. The second unoriginal picture I included was a list of healthy snack alternatives so when college kids are craving that late nigh pizza they can just turn to my picture and it will tell them what they can eat instead and not regret eating it later. My original pictures were of students at the gym/student center using the machines in the gym. I chose to do this because it has multiple pictures of people using the machines correctly. Therefore students can look at my pictures and see how to do each machine so that it will benefit them. I believe seeing someone who is just like them using them will really help people get in the gym and work hard. The pictures also include stretch’s to do because that is a very important part of working out and staying fit.
In conclusion, I felt passionate about this topic and know how much this can help with college students by being happy healthy and stress free. I know how easy it can be to gain weight you really did not want to but I also know how easy it is to lose that weight as well with just some hard work and motivation. I hope that people go to my site to get information and tips but also motivation. I know it can be helpful and will not break the bank by hiring a trainer or private gym.
I enjoyed this project and making my video. This class has shown me how useful a blog can be and how important it is to stay up to date with the technologies and upcoming multimedia’s that I should be able to work well with.
