00:00What are you looking at?
00:58Straighten the post
01:07I feel like the gym for me
01:09kind of represents
01:10my determination
01:12towards something
01:13and if I really put my mind to it
01:15you know, you can really do anything
01:17like, you know, things like chasing new PRs
01:20or wanting to look your best
01:21or getting as strong as possible, as big as possible
01:24all those things are just
01:26you know, things that I could
01:28look back at, you know, maybe like, oh wow
01:29I hit this PR, you know, after like months
01:31and months of working towards it
01:33and like I said, I could look back at it and be like, wow
01:35I really did that, I'm proud of myself
01:38My name is Dylan, I've been working
01:40out for about a year and eight months
01:42now
01:45Gym is important to me because
01:48you know, it could really
01:50well, one of the side effects from it
01:52honestly, that helps me keep like a routine
01:54so going into the gym everyday
01:56and it could sound boring doing the same stuff
01:58every week, but honestly
01:59I think it really helps me out
02:01kind of build around it
02:03kind of do what I gotta do, you know
02:05time my meals right, you know
02:07make sure what I'm eating is good, you know
02:09and then I gotta balance it out of school and stuff
02:11and sports and everything
02:14but overall, yeah, I think it's really helped me
02:16even outside
02:16I think, obviously the main thing is like, you know
02:20the health benefits, you can be healthier
02:21more fit, more strong
02:23and look better, but I just think
02:26like, you know, over time
02:27you can really kind of like, get a connection
02:29to it, and it could sound a little weird in the beginning
02:32but, once you really like get into it
02:34and you realize like, wow
02:35this is like really, you know, awesome
02:37making progress, seeing progress
02:39even though progress takes a while
02:41you know, it's bound to happen, it's gonna happen
02:43as long as you stick to it, which is another thing
02:45of what the gym could do to someone
02:47like, it could really make them, it could change their whole mindset
02:50on the way they look at other things now
02:53it's like, you know
02:54and by taking that mindset, you put it to the gym
02:56the person could put it into like, anything else
03:00and that mindset of staying locked in
03:02you know, staying focused
03:04is just kind of what you're looking for in a person
03:06for anything really, and
03:07you know, the gym was a way that I found that mindset
03:10without it being boring, like, you know
03:12no one's forcing you to do stuff, no one's telling you to do stuff
03:14you don't gotta worry about what other people are saying
03:17you're not like, you know
03:18you really don't have to listen to anyone
03:21which is kind of what's awesome about it
03:23you can just, like I said, go at your own pace
03:25you know, and you can see progress on your own
03:27you don't gotta rely on other people for anything
03:30which is why, you know
03:31it's really important for me
