Personal Reflection

In this personal reflection essay I describe my physical activity for seven days. I decided to start my tracking today, Thursday, April 20th, 2017. I woke up early because I did not have a class until eleven. I then decided to go for a quick morning workout. Working out in the early morning helps to wake me up and become motivated for the day.
