Hi!!!!
Today I´m not tell you something so scientific. Just a little.
Some people ask me why I go to the gym training, although I´m skinny person.
When I answer, I always give one of the reason, however the truth is: you and me don´t need a reason ore excuse to go to a gym or do some exercise.
When I was younger I was a dancer. I used to do ballet, jazz, street dance classes. I think I danced everyday, and I felt wonderful. Due to academics commitements, I had to stop and I didn´t find a way to continued. It was a mistake.
For all those years I didn´t nothing so important that i could call exercise. I just avoid elevators and try walk all day avoiding using cars (and I don´t have a car until today hehehe). Thus, year by year I just feel more stressful, little sad, without strenght to lift anything.
One day, in august of 2012, when I back to my home in Brazil, I was felling so stressful and angry that I remember what a good friend told me one day: "when I feeling very frustated and angry I go to the gym and lift a lot of weights."
Ok, it´s very good when you have a gym around your neighborhood. "The closest gym from my house it was 25 Km. What I can do now?" _ I thought.
Well, I opened my laptop and searched. And found! A lot of examples of exercises that I could do by myself like a beginner.
The results were awesome! I did not do heavy training, however I was moving. I could control my stress, my ansiety and close in good way my thesis. I found balance anyway.
I live this way in around one year. In august of 2013 I decrease the workouts, and stopped. I didn´t have place to do my workouts. Consequence: imsonia. I just slept 2 days in a week!
When I back to Ottawa, I back to exercises too. More intensity and more commitment.
My mind about what I eat improve too. Everybody says to me that I can eat everything. It´s not thuth. In 2006 I did a blood exam and my cholesterol was high. Over the limit, even I didn´t get any weight. So, I can not eat everything, like you. I was eating two packages of cookies per day while I studing for finals exams at college. It was a surprise.
The fact is, you don´t need excuse or big reasons to move. Exercise is a right that everybody should do. And as a chemist, I suggest you try eat clean always is possible. Be healthy is not only a life style it´s a necessity. If everybody or the most of people eat clean, the food industry is going to stop product bad and unhealthy stuffs.
But if you want some reasons why I go to the gym, I´ll give you:
1) I can sleep 6 nights per week;
2) My menstrual cramps decrease significantly (Endorphin worked here);
3) My mood is better (Serotonin);
4) I found some muscles that I thought that I don´t have (reactions happened);
5) I don´t feel tired when I have to walk ro stopbus.
And... I enjoying and feeling my body cleanear.
Most of people when begin trainings wait the outside improvements, but I tell you, the better changes caming from inside. What happen outside is consequence from irreversible inner change.
I hope you enjoy too.
