Find Your Form

When I hear "let's work out" I let out a sigh and feel like letting my body collapse to the floor, but this year things took a turn for me. about a month ago I met a new friend who practically lives to build muscle mass and is extremely proud of his personal transformation. I asked him if maybe I could go to the gym with him and learn his powerful ways of lifting weights -- as I am only a small synthesis of five spaghetti strands. He was more than willing to bring me along. I try to go to the gym with him everyday and though they are tiny, I see improvements in my body. 

Going to the gym has benefited me in many ways other than just being healthy and strong, in fact I have realized many philosophy's. One of them is finding your form. My friend trained me beginning with light weights and at first I thought maybe he just did not want to push my limits, but the true reason was that he believed it was important for me to find my form first. Having good form in weight lifting is very important in order to avoid injury of pulling something in your body. I have found a good form for most of the workouts so far bu there are others that I am still working on: it takes time to find and perfect your form.

I began to apply this to a different scenario, education. So far throughout my college experience I came to the conclusion that getting by elementary school through high school should have been fairly easy to accomplish given that most of the resources are provided to be successful. I wondered, why was it so hard for me? I did not have good form. In education it is important to build good study habits, time management skills, ability to focus, and much more. Elementary school through high school is the perfect time for students to find good form in education and for teachers to show students what good form looks like. Once students have found their form they will be prepared to take on the "big boy weights" meaning college and achieving higher education. So always make sure to focus on your form in order to get muscle gains and brain gains c: .
