Several years ago, I read some articles about the most 3 essential exercises for people. They said they were squats, deadlifts and bench press. Since then I wanted to learn how to do them. First, I got some books about lifting weights and watched some video clips on Youtube and signed up for the gym. But learning with some books and video clips wasn’t enough. I had a lot of questions about them and wondered if I had the correct posture. So I decided to exercise with a trainer 10 times. I was excited to learn the exercises that I really wanted to learn. After working out, I would be exhasted but I felt so good. While I exercised I also went on a diet, so I lost weight and it made me feel energetic. But after two and a half years, my knee started to feel uncomfortable. When I first felt it I didn’t care about it, but as time went on it started to bother me, and I went to see a doctor. He said that it wasn’t serious but if I felt uncomfortable consistently, I’d better stop exercises for some period of time. I decided to follow his advice and got some treatments for a month but it didn’t work. I quit working out at the gym. Then I was thinking of what caused my pain. The problem was, I wasn’t doing exercises in the correct way just focusing on how many times I lifted weights. Plus, I didn’t do enough stretching to wrap up after them. I learned my lesson. Now I make sure to stretch before and after I work out Well done! That was really good and interesting to read :)
