I consider myself a very active person. I have been going to
gyms for many years and I fully understand the benefits of it. Before I started
working out heavily I found it hard to maintain my weight and I was tired all
the time, like a weight was pressing on me all the time. Now, after four years
of working out, I feel great! I have loads of energy and sleep very well at
night. It is not easy going to the gym when I have a lot of homework, or my
friends want me to do something else, but I have promised myself that I will do
four full work-outs a week. I start with 30 minutes of aerobic exercise with a
steady heart rate of 170. Then I do weight training and stretching for another
thirty minutes. It is really hard doing this, and I very often try to talk myself
out of it, but I always make myself go. The result is I look and feel a lot
better, and I can study much more effectively after I have worked out; I just
feel so energized and refreshed after a work-out. It’s my drug of choice, and I
hope I never stop using it.
Medina’s research is completely in line with what I have
myself experienced. Since I started working out, my overall healthy and
strength have really improved, and I have seen my grades improve, too. As
humans, we hunted and gathered for thousands of years, and then farmed for
thousands more. The sedentary life we live is something pretty new so it seems
that is common sense that we should move our bodies. I can’t for a moment think how anyone could be a fat, lazy
lay-about. It must hurt!
For me, my exercise program is going very well. I have been
doing it for five years now, and I have steadily increased my work-out. I run
faster, at a higher incline all the time. For next year, I am planning to just
keep doing what I am doing, that is slowly and steadily increasing my
work-outs. I don’t want to be a body builder or anything, but I do enjoy
looking fit and feeling good.
