I was excited as soon as I heard that training in the school gym was a possibility and I grabbed the opportunity with both my hands. In the first quarter of the time, I focused on strength training for 2 days, and cardio for 1 day. With time, I moved to strength training on all the 3 days after realizing that cardio is done anyway when I play sports.<\/p>\n<p>I had to wake up at 06 hours in the morning, for which I had to make many changes in my rather unorganized routine. I had to improve my food habits to actually see the results of training. I had to spend time nurturing my body and give it enough rest to recover from the micro tears it had suffered. I learnt to channelize my limited energy into the right direction, in the right proportion. I understood the deeper meaning\u00a0of: &#8221; Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy and wise&#8221;. One needs a lot of motivation and commitment to wake up early in the morning without cursing his\/her life but, I chose to feel sore today and not sorry tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I got a reality check when my muscles didn&#8217;t inflate like balloons do, and no where were in comparison to that of any of the celebrities. I understood the importance of perseverance as I realized that you actually have to challenge your own self for a long period of time, constantly and consistently, to get balloon-like biceps. Although I did not manage to end with huge muscles, I surely had gained a lot of confidence and felt good about my body.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the exercises I performed were :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chest seated rowing<\/li>\n<li>Barbel rowing<\/li>\n<li>Barbel curl<\/li>\n<li>Dumbbell curl<\/li>\n<li>Bench press (flat+ incline+ decline)<\/li>\n<li>Skull crusher<\/li>\n<li>Barbell squat<\/li>\n<li>Leg press<\/li>\n<li>Leg extension<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Summary of the results that I achieved were:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Stronger leg muscles(calves, hamstrings and quadriceps)<\/li>\n<li>Stronger Back Muscles<\/li>\n<li>Broader Shoulders( 17.5&#8243; to 19&#8243;)<\/li>\n<li>Healthier food habits<\/li>\n<li>Better BMI<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"attachment_928\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_1152261.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-928\" class=\"wp-image-928 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_1152261-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_1152261-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_1152261-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hammer Curl<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_930\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_115828.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-930\" class=\"wp-image-930 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_115828-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_115828-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cas.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160123_115828-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leg Press<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I, along with a group of classmates, started attending the school gym on alternate days for a period of 4 months.
