Going to the gym is definitely not as easy at it might seem, but after many years of practice, I finally got the hang of it.\r\n\r\nHere at the University of Toronto I\u2019m lucky to have three<\/b> different gyms I can go to. There\u2019s the AC, the one in Hart House, and Goldring. I\u2019ve tried all three of them, and after multiple times at each, I settled with the Athletic Centre. Goldring seemed too\u00a0professional<\/i> for me, I always felt somewhat intimidated, and I prefer to feel totally comfortable when I go work-out. Hart House never really convinced me. However, I discovered the AC had multiple floors and levels for whatever it was I was trying to do, so I decided to stick to it.\r\n\r\n

Finding time can be easier for me at night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nFinding time to work out can be hard. I usually try to sneak in workouts after classes, or during days when I don\u2019t have classes at all. This might sound easy, but when I\u2019m showered with assignments and in the middle of midterm season, it might seem counterproductive. However<\/i>, a couple of years ago I realized that going to the gym actually helped me de-stress in order to study better. Whenever I felt stuck trying to finish something, whether it be a reading or an essay, I\u2019d try to go work out for maybe an hour, and when I came back I felt ready to start again.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnother really important factor for me is not going to the gym out of guilt. Sometimes I might not be able to make it to the gym in a couple of days or even weeks, but I don\u2019t let the factor of guilt drive me into going back. If I decide to go back it is because I want to and because I know it will help me. Although this is sometimes hard, I constantly remind myself that it\u2019s okay to take it easy, and sometimes that means taking a break from working out. When the time is right, I\u2019ll know to go back.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n

The Athletic Centre has so many cool drop-in classes as well as great facilities, so I\u2019m making sure to make the most of them while I\u2019m here.\u00a0<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
