My research question is how does weightlifting improve mental health and physical health. This topic interests me because this hobby is something that is involved in my everyday life. When being in the gym and I’m lifting it’s something about moving the weight that gives me a euphoric feeling. Although it may look like I’m in pain and make funny faces I can grantee that I’m having fun. Also, from being a chunky male that had no real muscle mass the physical attribute from lifting really shows on my body now that I am more muscular. I already know that being consistent with the gym it can improve your daily habits. For example, some people my age don’t like to be organized consistently I found it that ever since I got involved with the gym, I found it easier to bring myself to be more organized every day. What I also know is that depending on how much muscle mass you want to gain I need to eat correctly meaning that I must watch out for my diet. This is a good thing because now my body can be healthier. The gym can be like a therapist whenever I feel stressed or anger towards something I can channel all those emotions while lifting to give me a boost in strength. After I finish, I can feel cleared minded just like stress reliever. Some points that I plan to explore and find out more about are why does throwing around weight make people such as myself keep wanting to go back? Although I know going to the gym consistently can help you with your daily habits. I would like to know why it does.
