What will be your New Year’s Resolution?

Saturday, December 1^st—yes it’s the first of the month and I thought to myself that I don’t want to waste a precious time to train. I was seeking for a new challenge which I was motivated enough to go to the gym to work on my legs despite of discontented training last Monday; I figured I had enough time to rest from the past days so I should be back to what I was searching for - the feeling of triumph. Upon doing several sets of lunges and squats, I went ahead and moved on to the next exercise which was the leg press machine.  I begin with 300lbs or my warm-up with 12 repetitions as my normal routine, until I’ve incline the weights up to 600lbs, with 8 reps. Since it was the first of the month, I thought I should be up for another challenge…so I begun to take a couple of quarter plates for a new change…but before I’ve even started, a man approached me from the next leg machine was I was at who happened to be witnessing the whole thing…then he asked me how many pounds I have on the machine, then I said it gladly “650lbs” He said it was amazing and he congratulate me for my accomplishments, then he walked away. I felt awesome that day! I am so glad to begin my new month with a great accomplishment.  I hit 650lbs with 6 reps twice as I moved on to the next exercise.
