An area of my life that contains behaviors that I would like to monitor is my health. The
two targeted behaviors I will be monitoring are exercise and dieting. Exercise and health go hand
in hand so if you want to live a healthy lifestyle you must exercise. Benefits of exercise and
dieting include having better memory, lowering blood pressure, and improving your quality of
sleep. Both exercise and diet play a big role in your overall health.
I decided to monitor the behaviors after I engaged in the behavior. As stated in lecture, “a
behavior that you would want to see more of you would record after you engage in it”, (Klein,
2020). The way I measured exercise would be duration and the way I measured dieting would be
how frequently I ate. Also stated in lecture, “a behavior that you would want to see less of you
would record before you engage in it”, (Klein, 2020). For this reason, I decided that I would
record when I would eat unhealthy foods before I ate them.
