7 Day Fitness Diary



My research began with a 7 day fitness diary. I handed out the booklets to 8 individuals to try and find out about their exercising habits and if there is anything that strongly affects when and how they exercise. I wasn't too sure what I'd get back from this however the results have pushed my project in the direction of looking into how emotion can determine how, when, where and why people exercise. The diaries pushed me in this direction because of two findings. The first finding was from one of the first questions,it asked to pick a colour to describe their mood for the day and this showed that on days when people picked darker and duller colours they tend to exercise less (if at all) and days when they picked brighter colours they did much more exercise and were motivated to do more. The second finding backs up the first and this was from asking each person to draw something they'd doone that day, something that made them laugh, draw a picture of them exercising etc. (One drawing per day) These are featured above.
