Personal Statement: Professional Advice For A Workout Plan

Over the span of the sixteen years I have spent on this planet, there are a few things I have never done, one of those things being a vigorous workout.

In this age, it is easy to sit on a couch all day for entertainment but people need physical activity as an outlet for pent up energy. This assignment has opened my eyes to the rewards of a good workout and I am looking forward towards my next exercise
