Gym - Activity

  (LO1) It took a while for me to feel confident enough to leave my comfort zone and go to the gym rather than workout at home because I was afraid to be judged by people who were more fit than me at the gym. I felt more comfortable and reassured when I saw that everyone were focused on themselves and did not really care about everyone else or peoples appearance. I learned many new exercises from watching people exercise as well and then I would try the same exercise. (LO2) The challenge was pushing myself to go to the gym even when I was tired from school or the exercises were too hard which would mean some days I would be in pain such as cardio days. (LO3) Commitment and perseverance in all honesty was the hardest part of this activity. As after school, after sitting in a school bus for an hour, when I got home I would just want to sleep but I always ask my dad to pick me up to go to the gym within 10 minutes of me getting home so I could not procrastinate. It is also very tiring after as in IB2, I have a lot of homework and revision to do. However, going to the gym clears my mind and relieves me of stress.
