Listen to the Ted Talk, Never, Ever Give Up by Diana Nyad. Keep notes of anything she says that you find motivating.
Create an infographic poster using graphic design software or art supplies that displays at least one motivational mantra you can refer back to for encouragement along your fitness journey. Create space on your poster for where you will track your progress toward your fitness goal. Remember, feedback can be in the form of a tally chart, progress bar, or pie chart you fill in as you complete days or weeks of your goal plan. Be creative but also neat while ensuring you display the required information.
Here is an example of an infographic poster inspired by Diana Nyad's TED Talk and is designed to provide motivation and track progress towards a fitness goal:
