1 year since I started with gym
After an irregular gymming during my college days, I’ve been regular gym-ming at Fitness One Its been a nice and fruitful experience ever.
If I look back to october 2006, when I just began at Fitness One, I was slightly bulky and my endurance, muscular strength and stamina were doing poor. However, I wasn’t largely fat or without the basic stamina. I was still good, due to my college gym, though irregular and agricultural activities in my farm in my earlier days.
A company sponsorship to this Fitness One gym came to me as a boon. I joined with all enthusiasm and promise that I’m gonna be regular and really achieve my fitness targets. “Alright, what is your goal thanix?”, asked prakash, my Fitness one trainer. I could immediatly bring those words — “I want to build muscles” 
Well, he said, unsure of my determination to continue with the gym, “Aright, we’ll do it, but you should take care of the motivation and turn up at the gym”. He probably has seen a lot of guys come with sheer enthusiasm and after sometime loose all momentum and fallback.
By late 2003s, I had somehow gained patience and a die-hard perseverance that I take care to pursue whatever I began and see the fruit, no matter what it takes. This has largely helped me in the gym. After the third hard workout day, your muscles become tight and your body refuses to move, you don’t even feel like going to work, then where is the motivation to go for the workout?
However, I figured that its only a matter of stretching and proper food/sleep that is all required to make sure the next day I possess the eligibility to gym. Stretching the muscles relaxes the body and makes it flexible - point #1, warming up the body just gets me away from the “I can’t wake up now” laziness - point #2. But how will you warm up the body without even waking up? If only your mind knows this fact that you do warmup and everything is ok, your mind gives in to wake up on time.
Alright, above all desires, you need motivation, you need a lot of that mental determination and “comeon, thanix” kind of power within you to lift any single weight in the gym. And mind you, everyday is not just the same — you need to push a little bit more than what you did yesterday. Its kind of a boomerang, you go to gym with little motivation and the whole gymming gives you more motivation to the rest of your day. You seem to understand the principles of the body, the mind and every single object that is there in the universe.
You know how to push little bit everywhere, you know how to develop endurance, you know how to develop and maintain stamina. I must agree that I really learned to listen to my body. My body literally speaks to me as to what it is ready to do, what it can’t do, what it is ready to take in, which energy it likes, which it repels, which food it is ok with and not, etc.
Thanks to everyone at fitness one, they really helped me push my limits, helped me understand the body and its parts and structure my workouts quite well. If you are reading this, there is atleast one take away for you — never stop doing that physical activity everyday. It is very very essential to the whole system.
