Gym Integrity

Improved Essays
What I want to accomplish is going to the gym more. I do have a gym membership, but I don’t use it very often. I will be going after my classes take some time out my day and go do some weightlifting. I spend a lot of time watching Netflix when I could be something way more productive than sitting on my butt and watching tv. I will try to use my Netflix time and switch it with my gym time.

This is important to me because I’m very small you can say and I want to get bigger and stronger. A lot of my friends are taller, they’re bigger, stronger and I don’t want to stay small forever that changes now. I know what I can become because I’ve already seen it. My Sophomore year I played football and there was a lot of conditioning a lot of running. We ran every day some days more than others, it was very tiring and exhausting my body was aching in pain I couldn’t breathe at all I needed some water in my body from all the dehydration. Every time we didn’t make the time the coaches would make us run again and again until we made the time, sometimes it would take us five times, sometimes two or three times there was always that one person on the team that was slower than the rest of us and couldn’t keep up with us. The team didn’t really like that kid because he made us run more than we should have to but I thought it wasn’t that bad I know the running was terrible despite the exercise it was good for you. I liked running because it puts me in shape and I was in great condition because of that was probably the best I’ve been in shape and I can really see what my body looks like if I put the time and work in. The Ultimate goal would be that I go to the gym more often and stop watching Netflix less. Working out more and getting to my body goal that I’ve planned and continue to succeed with. This would change my priorities and how I use my time and what I would use it for. This change would be good physically and mentally. I would be working out regularly and exercising, eating healthy, being on track with my meal plan and don’t stop grinding until I’ve reached my full potential. My support system is my family, my brother works out pretty much every day if he isn’t busy and my dad he goes to the gym when he can and if he can’t he goes out for a run. I go to the gym once, maybe twice a week and I’m trying to change that habit to

    In the debate over whether success in sports comes from physical prowess or mental agility, Sanneh , the author of “What Could Be Better Than A Touchdown” and Heinrich, the author of Why We Run have similar views, with both authors supporting the idea that mental agility and physical prowess are equally important in sports. Mental strength and agility are just as important as physical prowess in sports. The article “What could be better than a Touchdown” shows that in every sport it is important to have mental strength and physical prowess. Sanneh explains the topic by showing how Dwight Lowery scored a touchdown.…

    At some point in time in their development, most people encounter an adult figure, who instills a positive change in their lives. For me, that person was Cindy Scannella--my track and my cross country coach for my first two years of high school. With her unique approach to coaching, Coach Scannella not only gave me the confidence to flourish in the sport and lead my team, but she also gifted me with a love for running. This passion of mine as well as her continual support has carried me through the difficulties of my grandfather’s death, my parents’ divorce, and other strenuous circumstances including the end of her time as my coach. Her presence in my life has truly altered my life for the better.…

    The Lesson in Quitting For the past 7 years of my life, swimming has played a huge role. Growing up, I had always enjoyed being in the water, and was one of the odd kids that genuinely enjoyed swimming lessons, no bribes required (thinking about it, I wish I had some of those kids in the lessons I teach now). Overtime, it began to feel less like a passion and more like an obligation; something I had committed to that was too late to stop. I was afraid to quit, afraid to disappoint, and trying to be dedicated to a sport I had lost interest in made me start to hate it. This year, I finally decided to drop the sport, and am now embracing the huge change it has had in my life.…

    Working closely with teachers and advisors, my academic transcript—both in terms of course selection and grades—made strides as I now understood my true potential. My connections with family and peers strengthened through the unbreakable bonds of love and friendship. Through a common passion, I have been exposed to the most diverse and fascinating group of individuals—all with their own two cents on life—many of whom to this day remain my closest friends.

    Imagine being in 6th grade, and having someone come to talk to your entire sixth grade student body about middle school sports. During a question and answer session I asked if it was possible to run cross country and play basketball, and in a loud voice that went across the gym, a kid said “Why ask you’re too fat to play sports” and the whole gym burst into laughter. This is how my introduction to middle school officially began. As one could imagine the pain and humiliation that went along with my torture, but because I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder my problems were exemplified. I spent the next few weeks listening to everyone talk about me, repeat the story and laugh.…

    Fitness Goal Setting

    Fitness and Goal Setting Knowledge Fitness and goal setting have been the main topic of conversation in this class. Whether we need to work on legs or arms today, or what we are going to do in the future. I learned that it is better to do quantity over quality when it comes to fitness workouts, and that it is always important to stretch and warm up your muscles before a workout to ensure you do not strain any muscles. For goal setting, I learned that if you pick a specific goal that you wish to achieve, like say to reach +10 in the fitness flexibility test, you can keep working towards that goal step by step, or in this case number by number, to reach your goals efficiently. When reaching towards a goal, you cannot just make it in one try…

    In the locker room are Dan and Jason. I say hello and continue on to my locker. More people come in and everyone starts talking about how bad their day was. It's almost a daily contest to see who can have bragging rights for having the worst day, perhaps they want sympathy or maybe they just like to complain a lot. I find it humorous that a bunch of guys who come in every day to train and beat on each other can complain so much, so I laugh at them and leave the locker room.…
