Gym

April 21, 2010

Last weekend I decided to go back home to catch up with a few of my friends who I have not seen in a while. My best friend who I have known since the 5th grade was especially excited to see me again because he recently got a gym membership. He knows that fitness is my area of expertise and wanted to get in better shape. I told him that I was going to be moving back after I graduated and we would be going to the gym together. He knows that I always like to find different exercises and routines to improve and challenge myself to become a better athlete. So when I went home he took me to the gym so I could show him a new workout. I decided to take him through the “300″ workout. From the name of the exercise the men who started in the move 300 performed this exercise to build their picture perfect physique. Needless to say, it is not an easy workout. We modified the routine so we could both complete the exercises and made a competition out of it. In stead of completing 50 reps of each exercise, we changed it to 10. Initially I started off with a time of 2:40. I wanted to pace myself and see how fatigued I would become during a maximal attempt. He beat my time and then the competition immediately started to ignite. My final trial was finished in a time of 2:09 and he finished with 2:24. I cannot wait until I graduate and have someone to push me like he does.
