 Through these 7 (8) weeks, I have driven myself to workout as much as I possibly could. At the beginning I started by simply doing weight lifting, but as I progressed I found it harder and harder to stick to it. So I joined basketball. I did other activities. I have learned that it does not matter what type of exercise you are doing (depending on your goal obviously) as long as you are staying active, staying consistent, and ultimately, having fun. If you don't enjoy something, you probably shouldn't do it. That is unless you have some goal that you do enjoy. For example, you want to get better at a sport, but you hate running. You are still going to run to get better at the sport because you enjoy the sport so much. But that's different. If you are working out simply to stay active and stay healthy, find something you enjoy. That will make it a lot easier to stay consistent with your workouts. You can even find different methods of staying consistent. For example, give yo...

 For the most part everything has gone the same. There has been some steady growth but it has slowed down a bit since I joined basketball and only started doing twice a week weight lifting. I have still been doing a lot of exercise (other than the PE weight lifting), such as basketball practice and games, soccer open gym, and individual soccer training.  I mostly joined basketball because I found it difficult to workout on my own at home and I had way too much time on my hands with nothing to do. I mean I enjoy the sport, and being with my friends, and I also do want to help the team (if I can). But I mention the working out reason because it is most relevant here. 

 I feel as though I have slowed down. I had a lot of motivation for the first week or two but then it kind of died out. I have still been working out, but not as much at home. I find it a lot easier to work out with my friends during PE than by myself at home. So if you ever end up working out make sure you find yourself a workout buddy or group. I have also joined basketball recently so it makes finding time and energy to workout outside of PE a little more difficult but basketball is a form of exercise so it works out in the end. I am still getting in the two days of weight lifting I have in PE and on top of that all the cardio and exercise that comes with basketball, so it's just a different type of working out in the end.  On a completely unrelated note, go check out Hozaifa's blog/quora posts, he talks about a lot of really interesting Marvel stuff there so yeah make sure to check his posts out.
