exercise

This selfie was taken in one of the gyms on OSU's campus. Because I live in Park-Stradley hall, which is on South campus, I often go to Jesse Owens South (where this photo is taken). In the image, I am running on one of the elliptical machines. In order to distract myself while running, I either watch my show, Suits, on Prime Video, or listen to my "Workout" Spotify playlist. All last year, I only worked out a few times. However, this year my roommate and I decided that we would encourage each other to go to the gym every other day. Since working out, I now feel that I fit in better with the principles held in high esteem by my family. Since my brothers have always played sports, exercise has always been very important to them.

 

This selfie has made me change the way that I see myself because it has made me proud of spending my time somewhere that people go to better themselves by improving their physical fitness. This is important to my identity because it has to do with the influence of health. I decided to start working out because I wanted to get into better shape and improve my well-being.
