My Fitness Journey
I started my fitness journey a few years ago, around 2019, after I had to have a surgery for my GI health. That surgery made me rethink my lifestyle habits and led me to pursue a healthier and more active life. At the time I didn't know what or where to start. So, like most people, I got a gym membership and started weight training.
Weight training became my main type of workout for the first two years of my fitness journey. Although weight training helped me stay active, I did not find it fulfilling. I never felt overly excited about training and became tired of the same routine. In the last year and a half, I decided to change my workout routine. I started doing more bodyweight and at home workouts and eventually ended up trying Pilates and yoga.
Pilates and yoga have since become a part of my fitness regimen. Now, I alternate between weight training, pilates, and yoga. I have even started hiking and going on outdoor walks. Alternating between low impact exercises and weight training has made staying active more fun, helped me accomplish my fitness goals of becoming more lean, and has helped me manage my stress.
