Week 5 Questions

I’ve been managing to go to the gym 3-4 times a week after school on the days I’m not working. I can only find the motivation to go to the gym right when I get home; once I’m settled and comfortable I won’t want to leave again. Depending the week and schoolwork, finding the time to work out can be either easy or hard. If it’s not a busy week at school, I won’t feel as stressed and want to go to the gym; however if I have too many things to do I’ll be too stressed to even think about the gym. Before my workouts I always feel heavy and in need of “me” time, whereas afterwards I feel light and proud that I did something good for myself.
