Gym Time

Hello. Alonso here.

Today, I thought I'd tell you about the best things I've done and enjoyed ever since: Gym.

What better way to get exercise than to go to Snap Fitness. It all started in 2011 when my parents decided my physique needed work.

All that was required in order for me to go to the gym was paper work. After the papers were complete, I finally got a chance to get in. If there's anything I know, it's that a key card is always necessary.

What made me like the gym the most were nice people like Kyle and Chandran.

Kyle was one of the employees for Snap. On my way to the gym, I often see him walking by and would say "See you at the gym.". Yesterday, he was nice enough to give me a ride to Snap since it was cold.

Another nice person I know and trust is my coach, Chandran. While doing my exercises, I take the time to speak with him. He's always been good to me and I'd do anything to show my appreciation. Sometimes, he'd tell me when he can't always be at the gym, such as when he goes on vacation.

My exercises include chest press, back row or lat pull, foot press, leg extension, leg curl, bicep extension, triceps extension, shoulder press, back row, abs, and stretching out. Sometimes, I'd have to switch them around.

My brother, Rodrigo also goes to the gym to work. Last year, he and I walked together. We never argued then.

Also, I thought going to the gym with my uncle and my mother were the best times of my life.

Now for my favorite and least favorite things about gym:

Favorite things

Treadmills

Before starting my exercises, I'd work my legs off in a treadmill. Adjusting the speed is a must. Not too fast, not too slow.

Chest press

Always the best way to start my exercise routine. Recently, I set the weight to 75 pounds. If necessary, I'll set it to 80 or 100.

Abs

I did this exercise with a machine but I felt using a ball seemed like a better idea.

Least favorite things

Foot press

I don't really hate it but it kinda hurts my big toes.

Leg curl

Not that I hate it, but the pain get to my thighs. But hey, no pain, no gain.

Overall, going to Snap Fitness has been the best thing I've ever done. I owe it all to my father, Kyle, and Chandran for making it all possible.
