So begins a new aspect of my life. I am Wesley and I need to get into better shape. Luckily, I have been provided with an opportunity to do just that. As an employee at the SRC I was chosen to participate in the Fall Shape Up.
I have been involved with sports and physical exercise all my life. Even so, this will be the first time that I will have such a physically demanding schedule. For the next 12 weeks I will be training 4 days out of the 7 with a group of others who wanted to get into the best shape of their lives. This will be demanding not only because I'm not in the greatest shape, but I will also be participating in intramurals and ice hockey at the same time.
What I am hoping to get from this program is to gain back the physical standards that I used to have and then exceed them. 3 years ago I was involved in an accident that left me unable to participate in any physical activity. It is only recently that I have been able to resume a full regimen of sports and working out. Trying to do it on my own has not been productive. That and all the Cokes I drink and junk food I eat. With this program I plan on being transformed into the lean, mean, fighting machine known as Snipes.
It all begins this coming Monday. I am really looking forward to the challenge of accomplishing my goals, meeting new people, and hopefully inspiring people that have had an injury like my own. Inspiring them that its possible to not only return to the level of fitness before the injury, but recovery and exceed the peak at which you once were.
