This weekend, I decided that I really needed to get out and get some serious exercise. I have been walking a lot and riding my bike up hill has given me some but it wasn’t enough. I decided that I had to check out the Rams Head fitness center because I need to take advantage of these facilities that are paid for in part by my tuition. Basketball is one of my favorite sports and I played that first. Unfortunately, I was really rusty when I got out onto the court. It seriously took me about 10 tries to make my first shot. I was quickly dragged into a full court game. I didn’t take many shots in the first game. I set up some good scores with good passes. Luckily, my defense wasn’t very unorganized and I got several good rebounds, a steal, and intercepted some passes. The second game didn’t go too well. I messed up some good drives with my uncoordinated shooting. I used to do well at laying the ball up but I was too slow in my movements. I shot around a little bit more and then went to work out.
I like the weight and fitness equipment at Rams Head fitness center a lot. It’s all in very good condition, I think everything works how it should, and best of all, there’s TV! I’m just joking about that last part. I wasn’t too big on watching the TV when I was there. I’m too concerned with trying to get buff. I really have lost a lot of endurance and overall strength since before summer. I was in an athletics class back home during senior year. I stayed fit through summer but I haven’t had much physical activity since coming to Chapel Hill. Besides the fact that it’s good for me, I had a lot of fun and I’m going often from now on.

I really need to start working out too. Every time I go home there is always somebody telling me how big I'm getting. Honestly, I don't see it, but I'm starting to believe it because more and more people are saying it. The only problem with working out for me is, I really don't have any will power and I can't push myself to keep going! I had the same problem in high school. I wanted to get buff but when I started working out, it would only last for about a week. Maybe one day I'll build up my motivation and continue to work out because I wouldn't I really need to get back in shape! Luckily, I'm supposed to be taking a weight lifting class next semester, so maybe that will help me and motivate me to keep it going!
It is important to keep up with exercise while in college. Although guys have a less likely change of gaining the freshman fifteen it is good that you are taking the initiative to work out. I was used to running two miles every morning before high school and that has changed for me. Instead now I fit running into my schedule between classes, and my endurance has increased so I now run anywhere from 2.5 to 3 miles every day. There is just something remarkable when you feel the endorphins and high off of a really good workout or run. I have taken full advantage of my tuition in the SRC. Since I am on north campus, Rams is a little out of my way, but never the less I make use of my resources.
