b) The schedule for the two Vanier fitness center is:
d) I attended the fitness center at 2:00 on Friday with my lovely sister, Irene
e) Before the workout i was not really in the mood to train because i was anxious about my tests coming up. During the workout i felt pretty good because I brought my sister with me and after the workout i felt accomplished, happy and a little less stressed.
f) I learned that our campus gym is pretty nice and a lot less intimidating than I expected it to be. I loved that there are huge windows in front of the treadmills so you can see the snow while you’re running; such a beautiful view. Something I disliked is that there was not a lot of space to do exercises on mats.
g) During our workout we used the treadmills, dumbbells, jumping ropes and mats.
h) In the end I am glad I went because I discovered something to do on my long breaks that would also be beneficial for my health. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
