Personal Narrative: My Trip To Weights Class

333 Words2 Pages

The bell rings, it is 10 a.m. time to go to weights class. I dreaded going to weights because I am one of the few girls in the class. I walk into the gym and downstairs to the weight room. The typical group of guys is there talking obnoxiously. The guys always act like clowns as if they are comedians. I sit my phone and keys down against the wall and sit in my assigned spot by Brandon. Coach Dicks leisurely walks to the white board and writes down the workout for the day. We begin class with a slight jog around the gym twice and stretch. The workout is bench press and squats. Of course, I am in the group with Brandon and a couple other guys. We take turns on the bench press after I got done I walked out of the weight room to use the bathroom.

    One of our first things we had to learn was how to bench press. First we started by watching the trainer showing us how our backs are supposed to be laying onto the bench and where to put our feet and how far we should hold the bar. After he showed us these techniques he had us get into groups and start training with just the bar until each person gets it and then we can start putting weights on the bar. It was difficult at first because it was something I wasn’t used to and I had never done anything like it in my whole life but when I got used to, it made the workout so much easier and it made my body feel better with me lifting the bar with weights on it because it gave my body advantages on lifting the weights, and after everyone got the right form for the bench press, we started to learn how to squat, we first started by watching and listening to what we should do when we are squating and how your body should look and how low you need to get to the ground in order to complete a set and in order not to hurt your body.

It concluded asking, “Where is the Next Pre?” The story of his small town Oregon roots, gutsy racing style, and ambition to be the best resonated with me like nothing ever had before. I told myself I was the next Pre, and then tore off for my first run through the streets of Eugene, Oregon – “Tracktown USA”.

While lifting I play a playlist that I created with music that gets me motivated and focused to help me push through when the workout gets hard. Finally, after warming up and selecting my custom weights playlist, I was ready to fully immerse myself in the activity that gives me inner peace.
