I have been a healthy kid from as far back as I can remember. This has taken a toll on my stamina and as my posture. I had frequent backaches and would get tired very quickly. I knew that procrastinating about it wasn’t going to do me any good and I had to work hard for it, therefore I decided to hit the gym. I am aiming to reach a BMI of 25(which is the normal weight group in accordance with height).<\/p>\n

L1- Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/p>\n

My strength lied in my undeterred commitment towards going to the gym. This really helped me push myself towards faster and effective results. I was great at doing exercises that involved the upper body, but I lacked the strength and flexibility to do exercises that made heavy use of the lower body. So that was definitely an area for growth.<\/p>\n

L2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken developing new skills<\/p>\n

The challenge was being consistent as it was very difficult with the tight schedule I had throughout the day. Also, my religion prohibits me from consuming non-vegetarian food, this was a challenge as I had to find substitutes for fish and chicken which were high in protein. I had to work harder to gain muscle mass as I was not getting enough amount of proteins in my diet. I am the type of person who likes to eat a lot of junk food, and it was certainly difficult for me to restrict myself to a fixed diet. Being away from carbohydrates was difficult but after I started to see the results, it became a primal instinct to stay away from them.<\/p>\n

L3 – I really wanted to work upon my body therefore I took the initiative for joining the gym. Initially, I started to work out on my own. I used to watch youtube videos for guidance but I found it difficult to follow. This is when I opted for a trainer. He coached me every alternate day and I was allowed to do cardio exercises at my own discretion. I found the best exercises online, got them approved by my trainer and <\/p>\n

L4-commitment to and perseverance<\/p>\n

I also got hospitalized during the second month of the gym, which caused to stray away from it for a month. This was a pitstop for me as during that period I had again gained the weight I lost during the first month. My morale took a hit After experiencing this I knew If I commit to something, there is nothing that can stop me. I would always read this quote in my gym-“excuses don’t burn calories”. Reading this gave me a sense of empowerment which pushed me to go the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n
