WHY I LOVE THE GYM








Why do I love the gym?  I’m sure a lot of people in my life look at me and wonder why I workout nearly day and schedule my life around my gym time.  Why I get angry if I miss my gym time.  Obsessed?  Nope.  I love the gym because when I walk out, sweaty and tired, I feel liberated.  Any stress that I have been dealing with evaporates.  Are my workouts hard?  Absolutely.  I am not always at my best when I go to the gym.  Sometimes I’m tired, sometimes I’m moody.  But, no matter how I feel when I enter those gym doors, when I leave I feel liberated.  I am able to think clearer.  The endorphins make me feel relaxed.  I leave with a sense of accomplishment.  I am pleased because I didn't let that tough exercise defeat me.  I gave it my best shot and I won.  I am champion.  This is why I love the gym.  Sure, my body looks great.  But, my mind is what benefits the most.
