WHEN I NEED AN ESCAPE
I FIND MYSELF AT THE GYM
I PICK UP THE WEIGHTS
TURN MY MUSIC ON
AND ZONE OUT
ALL THE THOUGHTS THAT CONSUME
JUST GOES AWAY SOMEHOW
THE PAIN FROM MY EVERYDAY LIFE
THE FEELINGS INSIDE ME
DRIFTS AWAY
WITH EVERY DEEP BREATH I TAKE
THE GYM IS
MY THERAPY
THE PLACE I CALL HOME
THE PLACE I GO TO WHEN I CANT TALK
THE PLACE I GO TO WHEN I NEED A WALK

The Benefits of Bodyweight Training and Weight Lifting
One of the things I think we don’t realize coming into fitness is that it isn’t a sprint, it’s a journey. It’s going to have its ups and downs. When the ups and downs come, we must remember why we started. When I first started fitness and working out, I thought I was going to see results quickly. I would wake up every morning, go the bathroom, and look in the mirror, hoping to see a six pack. I’ve been involved with fitness for two years now. One of the things I have taken from it is… that the results you want to see don't come overnight, but small bits of progress do. The small bits of progress make up the big result you want to see.
