Operate Conditioning

Ever since football has ended I made a promise to myself that I would do everything I could in the offseason to get better, and help our team get farther in the playoffs next year.  So everyday after school, Monday through Friday, I work out until 4:30.  Weight lifting allows me to get stronger, and it allows my body to release chemicals that make me feel better.  This would be an example of operate conditioning.......
My behavior is working out after school every day.  My reward is feeling better and getting to drink my protein shake, which is a positive reinforcement model.  The schedule of reinforcement is a fixed interval schedule because it is Monday through Friday every week.
