Going to a place that isn't usual for me wasn't hard at all to find in my situation. The first idea that came to my head was the gym. I never go to the gym, and when I say never I really do mean never. It just isn't the type of environment that I enjoy or interests me, instead you can always catch me not working out and eating lots of junk food which I know is bad but hey I'm here for a good time not a long time.
Since I am not one who goes to the gym I felt that I needed a friend to join me, so I asked of course my close friend Neetha because I know that she is always down for whatever. We both don't go to the gym so I thought this would be a good thing to do together. We chose to go on a Thursday night after all of our classes so that we would have time to workout and try new things.Once I got there I got a bit nervous because I felt new to everything and wasn't sure about what I was doing unlike everyone else who goes to the gym on a daily basis which was a bit embarrassing.
There was so many things to pick from so I was a bit overwhelmed with what I should do first. I decided to go on the treadmill and start easy. Once I was finished with that I went on the elliptical . This workout machine was my favorite and easy to do. I did begin to get tired due to the fact that my body is not used to working out but that didn't stop me so I decided to do a couple of workouts on the mat. I did some squats,sit ups, and push ups, after doing these I knew that my body couldn't keep going anymore so I was done for the night.
From being here I can say I was actually a bit intimidated with the people who go here, they are healthy and maintain a healthy body. This experience taught me that I should go to the gym whenever I get the chance because going to the gym can be very beneficial. I was surprised by the amount of people who chose to go to the gym, I wasn't expecting as many people as I saw. The WREC does have many options to chose from to workout from classes, rock climbing, swimming, basketball, track and more! I can see why it does attract many students here at Chico State. Visiting this place helped me gain more knowledge about the WREC itself because honestly I did not what they offered here and now that I know it does interest me on going more in the future. Overall I enjoyed coming although I felt extremely tired but it was worth the experience on going out of my comfort zone.
