Reflection

Please reflect on your physical activity that you recorded by answering the following questions:

· After recording your daily physical activity, do you engage in more or less activity than you previously thought?

· Is this record of activity representative of your weekly activity? Why or why not?

· How can you increase your physical activity levels?

· Do you think that the one-day physical activity recall used here is a good tool to use in the measurement of physical activity levels? Why or why not?
