Transition Planning 12
The following activity is an activation assignment.
This must be completed and sent to your instructor before you can register in the course. It will be
worth 5% of your total course mark. Good luck! The assignment should take approximately 2 hours in
total. You may want to do a rough copy of your work on paper before completing the on line version.
If you quit the program, it will automatically be submitted, even if you are not finished, so make
sure to complete all sections during the same time period and then submit.
This course is intended to help you plan your future effectively; this
includes looking at your career goals, personal health, and the balance in your life. This
assignment, of course, is only the beginning of that process.

A Perceived Exertion Scale is used to measure the intensity
of your exercise. The numbers below relate to phrases used to relate how easy or difficult you
find an activity. When exercising, you should always monitor your intensity to make sure you
are not working too hard. One way to do this is by using a Perceived Exertion Scale. For
most workouts, you should stay at Level 3 - Vigorous. Exercise should be enjoyable, stimulating, and
invigorating so that you look forward to your regular activity. Exercising too hard can cause
people to drop out of exercising.
