hard work
Working out has become a big part of my life this past year. Lets start the story when I was twelve. I was in the 5th grade and weighed hundred and eighty pounds. I was only five two at the time and was not mad of much muscle. I was always scared to go swimming and take my shirt off. All I wanted was to be skinny and have the body I wanted. During school I didn’t play any sports or do any physical exercise. After school ended I found out the only way I’m getting in better shape and looking better is hard work. I told myself I’m going to run everyday no matter what. All summer long I ran and I could tell I was losing weight and getting in better shape. When I came back to school next year my friends talked me in to doing football. I didn’t really like it but it wasn’t the worst and I knew it was helping me stay in shape. When football was over I decided to join wrestling. I love the sport and my family is all about it to. Wrestling really showed me that hard work is all it takes. After wrestling I told myself if I can do that then I can run and start lifting weights over the summer. The next summer was great I was in great running shape and I started to get stronger. I also was getting taller. I work hard all summer and I cam back to school weighing 147 and could lift twenty more pounds on everything then what I started out at. When I got back to school everyone was surprised to see how much I changed. I finely had a the body I wanted.
