During my first year of University I failed a course in my second semester which I was required to redo during the summer before the start of my second year- during the summer school I signed up for a gym membership. I've had varying periods of commitment to the gym, however I continue to value fitness and health.

There is nothing more challenging than to compete against yourself. I enjoy the mental strength required to build a respectable physique. The pump is always a high, and there is even something special about the post workout soreness that is relaxing.
