Project: Fitness Program for Jimmy - Health Care Management

This assignment is a project focused on designing a fitness program for Jimmy, emphasizing the importance of protein intake (1 gram per pound of body weight) and incorporating foods like rice, oats, and nuts for fat intake. The program suggests exercises like squats, bench presses, and deadlifts for 30 minutes daily over 60 days to build and tone muscles. The project stresses the need for a gradual approach, setting weight goals, and a 'food-intake-strategy' to maintain a fit body. It references 'Plunkett's Health Care Industry Almanac 2007' for further insights. The assignment aims to provide a sustainable and effective fitness plan for long-term health benefits, focusing on muscle strength and cardiovascular endurance.

Health Care Management: FINAL PROJECT

Designing a Fitness Program
For Jimmy:
Jimmy should try in taking a gram of protein per pound of his body weight. It means he
should take 1 x 135 = 135 gram of protein every day. Consumption of rice, oats, and nuts can
provide Jimmy the required amount of fats. Jimmy should go for physical exercise including
squats strengthening the leg muscles, Bench Presses in which Jimmy will lie on his back on a
bench and press weights upward and Dead-lifts. Jimmy doesn’t have to go for heavy weight
lifting. What he has to do to force the muscles to grow is that he should continue doing these
exercises for 30 minutes every day for 60 days at a stretch. This would help to maintain a
toned and well shaped body. Along with this, light weight-lifting would help him increase the
muscle strength and maintain or increase her cardio-vascular endurance (Plunkett, Jack, W.
“Plunkett's Health Care Industry Almanac 2007: Health Care Industry”).
On the other hand, Jimmy must not try to make it very rapidly. Instead, he should try to build
it in a way that is suggested by the experts. It is better that he should select a date by which he
would like to have a measurable weight. The number of weeks he gets in between should be
multiplied by 1.25, and then again this process should be repeated until Jimmy reaches his
target. Besides, he needs adopting a ‘food-intake-strategy’ and exercising for maintaining a
fit a stable body. Only then, it would be effective for him in future.
