Samuel is Making Space for Exercise

“As a young boy, I had severe struggles with my weight. I was fat, out of shape, and did not have a single bit of confidence with in myself. As a result, I was angry and hunting for a change. My dad recommended I start running and lifting weights to address my insecurities. I explored this idea and in middle and high school, and it worked for me. I played football and maintained a solid physical condition and healthy diet, which helped me gain pride and confidence. However, when college came, I began to gain weight back. It is a battle I have faced for a while now, and I am looking to end it by developing a serious routine that allows me to make ample space for exercising.”

Share your journey and why this is important to you

Health is such an important factor in our lives. From the foods we eat to the sleep we get and to the weights we lift for, everything impacts our health. As I matured, I have found that investing in a healthy lifestyle makes my life better. It’s not just my body that’s impacted: exercise has helped me to destress and work my way through negative experiences. I think more clearly and go about my day with a positive mentality.

For years now, I have been working out off and on, but since I started college, it’s been challenging. Now, I have new responsibilities, socially and academically. With that said, I am looking to make space for exercising.
