Interview with NCAA Former and Fitness Model Gerald Pressley

How Did You Start Health and Fitness?

I have always been involved in athletics, even as a young school boy. I had the opportunity of having athletics pay for my education. I am a competitor by nature and have always kept myself in decent condition even after my college track days. So naturally, when I was approached about possibly competing in physique a few years ago, I was very curious about it. After my first show, I realized that there was a lot to this sport that I had to learn. I viewed that as a challenge for me. I began to

    An unusually fragile underclassman: devoid of faith and fearful of a new environment brimming with the cold embrace of the unknown. “What do you like about yourself?” Sitting in the audience, listening to an assembly during my freshman orientation of high school, this existential question hit me like a tidal wave—initially destructive yet ultimately metamorphic. Those around me blessed with a wealth of confidence from a young age beamed with vanity: athletes, scholars, musicians and those exceptionally precocious few with the ability to thrive in multiple environments.…

    During the four week fitness log I was able to achieve most of my goals. The first goal I achieved was being able to lift 115 lbs on the leg extension. I accomplished this goal within the first two weeks. By the end of week three, I slowly made my way to 10 reps of 115 lbs constantly. I believe that doing squats, wall-sit, and other leg workouts increased my ability to achieve the goal.…

    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…

    I was skipping a lot of gymnastics, and when I did I barely did anything there. Then I realised how was I supposed to be able to do well in any of my competitions if I did not have any skills to compete. That was when I stopped making excuses for myself. I was going to start trying harder. Even though skills did not come to me easily, I still fought, and tried as hard as I could until I made it.…

    For the Nutrition tracker, I decided to use the website My Fitness Pal. I used this site because I have already been using it to track my consumption for the last few weeks as I try to increase my overall health. In my opinion, my diet this week was very disappointing with respect to my diet goals. My diet was severely lacking with respect to its completeness. For the most part I had no real fruits or vegetables, the only consumption of those food groups came as a topping on my burger or other main entrees.…
