I find the maxim “a sound mind in a sound body” highly appropriate. I believe that in order to maintain mental balance one must also be able to perform physical activities, since they are very helpful in preserving the general condition of the organism in a good health. Work out which I am undertaking mainly consists of wellness training, meaning that I am not overworking my body. Through going to the gym I attempt to improve my stamina, as well as exercise my already full schedule. 

1. This is a planned and initiated activity, lasting for a period of at least 3 months. I devote every second Saturday to spend time at the gym, improving the general health of my organism. 
2. Working out also shows perseverance and commitment to the activity. However, it is not easy to find time to actively spend in the gym, I try my best, aiming for improving general health, again in reference with the maxim “a sound mind in a sound body.”
3. I also increase my awareness and seek for the areas of growth. Through work out people discover their both weak and strong sides. I have learned what are my weaknesses that I have to work on, in order to improve my results, in for instance: time of running, lifting weights, working out abs.
