Personal Narrative-It's Time To Put In A Gym

It’s been 4 months since I got my gym membership and, honestly, it has not been easy. When I first began, I found it easy to remain loyal to my commitment of going to the gym every Friday. However, I soon realized how hard it is to motivate myself to go exercise, especially when there are so many other things on my plate. I found myself constantly using homework as an excuse to not go to the gym. Fortunately, I was able to recognize this problem and have started to go to the gym more regularly now. I, also, have seen myself improving greatly with my stamina. For instance, initially, I could only use the treadmill for 15 minutes at a time, but now I can easily maintain a steady jog for at least 20 minutes. Although I have not lost a significant

My Fitness Pal is a very reliable tool that has helped me track my macro nutrients onto my phone and has helped me lose weight.The app has many features that helped me balance my diet, like the nutrition tab. The nutrition tab shows your calories, nutrients and macros. This is very helpful because it helps me see what i’m eating and allows me to replace things that may not be good for my health. For example, if i’m eating an unhealthy amount of macaroni and cheese it tells me that this food is high in saturated and carbs, it’ll then give me a recommended replacement food that is much healthier, such as a Tomato Soup or a Rice Bowl.

We stopped at the closest Snap Fitness, hoping that no one would be there, but we had no such luck. We walked in barefoot, none of us daring to put our heels back on from the night before, walking through the people working to the back of the gym, hoping, once more, for showers. Instead we found a single sink. Making do we washed the makeup off of our faces as best we could, and repeated our barefoot walk through the gym. Getting back into the car, food became the next priority. There was a McDonald’s across the street and we pooled our money to get each of us breakfast sandwiches and parked in the Walmart parking lot and ate. We began cleaning up the car, clothes and shoes and jewelry and blankets back in bags. Then, once more, we sat. It

In life, we all have goals that we set for ourselves. We have to push ourselves to our limits and stride for greatness to achieve and accomplish these goals. This all started after I finished my freshman baseball season, I was instantly looking for a new way to improve my game and get ready for my sophomore season. So during the offseason I decided to start training at a local gym. Starting off with small, light dumbbells and not sure what I was really doing. I had felt uncomfortable and worried about what others had thought about me. It was like I was always under pressure. I was thinking about giving up and wanting to quit, but it's too easy just to give up. So I stuck with it and thought about the reasons I chose this. I chose this

As I looked at the barbell stacked with two 45 lbs plates on both sides, I questioned my own ability, and think to myself there is no way in hell I am able to lift this without injuring myself.

However I had the determination to continue to attend the gym to reach my goal. In December of 2015 my mother enrolled me in a lifeguard certification class at our local YMCA. the class started at 8 o’clock in the morning and ended at 1, this was during december break so i did not miss school. The first task I had to complete was the prerequisite swimming test. The three other people in the class were all part of a swim team and were fast swimmers. At first this was disheartening to me because I felt I would not be able to keep up being that I was not a part of the swim team. The swim was physically demanding and was not easy. However I overcame my disadvantage and passed the prerequisite just as the others had. Over the course of the class i kept overcoming obstacles I was hesitant about. For example when practicing deep water rescues I was tasked with pulling my 230 plus pound assistant instructor from the bottom of a ten foot pool. I was worried i would not be able to accomplish this, however i knew that i had worked so hard to become a lifeguard and i made the determination not to let this stop

The athletic training program at my school, many times our supervisor would let us take the lead when it came to treating a patient and diagnosing them. The biggest obstacle I face through this was doubting my confidence. One time as we were on watch during a game, a player had fallen and was in great pain. I was the next in line to go with the trainer to help the player, when we approached I began to feel my confidence dwindle. Yet I knew I had a duty to the player and was able to overcome this barrier.

On 03/03/2017 at approximately 0900 hours, I woke up and started getting ready for the gym. I drank my pre-workout drink and left my house for the gym. On my way to the gym, i stopped to one-stop nutrition shop for a protein shake. I worked out on my shoulders in the gym. On my way to home from the gym, i stopped at a hot bagel shop and got two turkey burritos. After i got home from the gym, i start getting ready for work. At 1245 hours, i left my house for work. On my way to work, i stopped for gas at Chevron gas station on the carefree highway. I bought two monster drinks and one protein bar from the gas station. I arrived at work at 1330 hours, but my briefing for work start at 1400 hours. My sergeant brought pizza for the whole squad.

When I did Cross Country and Track for the first time, I fell short as a star runner. Instead, weightlifting became the place in high school athletics where I was able to find my niche.

When I got to the gym, a hum of optimism was in the air, and even though half of us felt like collapsing in exhaustion, I could tell by the sparkle in our eyes that we were as ready as a firing rocket. I had realized that joining the GCA Volleyball team was so smart, a true genius couldn’t deny it. With juggling school, church, AND volleyball, I could be more responsible, and ready for college, as well as a job. I could learn to space and manage my time wisely which I know is something I would have to do very soon. And stress, luckily, wasn’t much of a problem with volleyball, so I didn’t feel like tearing out my hair at any point. There are no regrets in my heart for joining the team, making new friends, and becoming better at

I spent the five years competing to acquire skills and experience. I trained five days a week for ten months leading up to the tryouts. I filmed my practices to analyze my techniques. Tryouts consisted of a morning skills session, the competition, an interview, and a written test. I felt like my morning skills and the written test did not go well; however, the interview and the competition went incredibly well. Unfortunately, when they announced the nominees for the national team, I was not chosen. My dream that I trained so long for had been crushed and there were no second chances. I kept thinking if I had trained harder, studied more, that there was more I could have done.

My Weightlifting Journey As he walked into the iron jungle, the smashing of the weights freighted him. The smell of seat and rust filled the air. It was the first time I had set foot in the Anytime Fitness gym. I had no idea where to start, my mind was unsure of my surroundings.

Some background about me is that I have many year of experience within the baseball and fitness industry so that will help me find an investor to come at help us because when we are going to be talking about the future business he will see that I have a lot of knowledge on the sport and will probably take that as one of the good qualities I have because it’s now like I am going to give the people false information I have been play baseball seen I was three year old so I know most of how the game is going to be played. The origin I think started to come true when I was just thinking about opening up my whole gym just for fun but then after spending hours of do research on how other companies have been doing it I took in to consideration that

I tore my ACL during my sophomore year in high school. It was a hard time for me because I couldn’t walk for two months and couldn’t do any strenuous activity with my legs for the remaining four months. I lost a lot of muscle in my legs. After 6 months I was finally able to lift weights. My first session I figured out how weak I actually was. It was sad watching everyone else in the weight room lift great amount of weights. My best friend Cody came over to my house after weights to hang out. I told how angry I was that I lost all of the muscle in my legs. He is a great speaker and a leader on our football team. He gave me a motivational speech and kept telling me I could do it. He believed in me, which not many people did. It lifted my spirit very high.

Adding exercises into one’s daily routines can change their whole lifestyle. Many people look at exercise as being something just for people who want to lose weight or to become muscle bound, but there are a great deal of benefits that can be received from exercising regularly. Of course gaining muscle and losing fat are the two most popular reasons that usually attract people to the gym, but they make up a small part of the potential benefits that can be achieved with exercise. There are several ways in which I have benefited in my life from exercising regularly, besides just making me bigger and stronger. It has made me become more organized, helped me make better decisions, and motivated me to take on new challenges in life.
