FREDERICKTOWN – The Crunch Out and 5-2-1-0 program have helped improve my health in many ways. The Crunch Out program has taught me healthy eating habits. The exercise ball provided by the program has helped me be more active. This amazing program has given me a healthier lifestyle.
The 5-2-1-0 program has helped me eat five helpings of fruits and vegetables a day. Spend less than two hours on electronics. Spend at least an hour being active. Plus, drink more water than sugary drinks. The journaling helps too. Before I turned my first journal in, I added up how long I was on electronics. It was like 12 hours! I also realized that I wasn’t eating too healthy. I only ate about 1-2 servings of vegetables a day. So I tried on my second journal to eat more healthy and spend less time on electronics.
I have to admit that I didn’t really use my exercise ball for the first couple of weeks. But when I finally decided to use it, I was so achy that I could barely move! So I started using it more and more. By the time the posttest came for the Crunch Out program I was ready. I could tell a big difference. I wasn’t as stiff after the test than I was on the pretest.
This program has also kept me fit. I played a sport and was always out of breath and felt pain coursing through my body. I was so stiff that the next day I could barely move my neck. Then we got our exercise balls and our 5-2-1-0 packets. I started eating healthier and staying active. So when it was time for our game, I did even better than before!
This program has also really helped my eating habits. I try to limit myself to one sugary drink or one sweet each day. Sometimes that doesn’t work. Sometimes I eat a lot of candy on weekends. Other than that, I think I’ve been pretty good about my eating habits. But before this program I was going home eating an entire bag of chips. Now I either eat something healthy or just a bit of chips.
Another way the Crunch Out and 5-2-1-0 program has helped put me in a better mood. Before I started using my exercise ball and 5-2-1-0 statement, I always hurt. Whenever I was aching or stiff I was always mean to people. I often got yelled at from my parents because of my mood. But when I started eating healthier and using my exercise ball I was a lot less stiff. I was still stiff and achy from time to time, but not as often.
The last way the Crunch Out program has helped me spend less time on technology. I always used to go home and get straight on my iPod and play it for hours. Then I’d eat dinner and watch a show. But now that I’m using my exercise ball and staying active I spend less time on my iPod. Now I’m going home playing with my cats, and sometimes I use the exercise ball. Then I play board games or card games with my sister. I still spend time on my electronics but not as much as before.
These are all the ways the Crunch Out and 5-2-1-0 program have helped me. My health has gotten better, and I’ve been eating healthier. I’ve been more active and spent less time on electronics. I recommend using this program if you have trouble with your eating habits or spending too much time on electronics. Even after this program ends, I know I’ll still use the exercise ball and 5-2-1-0 charts to help me live a healthier lifestyle.
