Thank you for this interesting topic. I have recently started going to a gymnasium and this is something I have been planning to do for a long. However, I am happy that I am finally doing it and I believe this is something that will bring numerous benefits to me

For more than a year, I have been planning to take some outdoor activities to remain fit. I am already in my early thirties and due to my work pressure in the office, I hardly get time to play outdoor sports or walk in the morning or in the evening. I realised how important it is for me to do some sort of exercise considering my age and in the middle of the last January, I became a member of a local gymnasium. After I started visiting the gym each day and doing exercise for about an hour, I have lost more than 8 pounds of my body weight in just three months

I was slightly overweight before I started the gym. After I shed some weight, I now have a good body mass index. The decision to go to the gym every day was a great one as it has not only helped me lose some of my body weight and remain fit but also helped me to adopt a balanced diet and a healthier lifestyle. I wake up before 6.00 am as I need to go to the gym before 6.45 am and as a result, I go to bed early at night. The gym instructor has recommended me a dietary change and this is also helping me a lot. Since I start my day with some physical exercise, I drink more water each day and feel more energetic throughout the day. I am hoping to continue this routine and expecting more positive changes to live a healthy life
