why do you want to go to gym?
i have continued to work out for two years and two years ago, on a summer holiday. i went to the gym for the first time and i met my fitness coach who taught me how to use the equipment / how to lift weights, how to make myself healthy and have more muscle, and make myself have a healthy perfect figure because I was so thin. Before i was fit / I worked out, i was only 45kg, really thin ,but not beautiful ,but now I’m more heavy. i weigh 8kg more, but its not fat, my fat is now less than before, I’m really happy ,and i hope my mother could go gym with me ,because she have more fat and only a little muscle. But, she likes yoga and she says lifting weights are what men do. I began working out and then i started to pay attention to my diet. I started to eat healthy food, low calorie food, less oil and salt. I like all fresh organic food, my body and skin are better than before. i think its a good hobby , and i will continue working out until I am old. Although working out is very tiring, i still enjoy it.
