I think that most of the time we do not look at our friends as role models or someone to look up to, but rather as peers or equals. However, this is different for me with one of my friends who I asked a few questions. This is the guy that got me started on my workout journey and is even more dedicated than me and knows about every ingredient of every food that he puts into his body. So for this blog, I am interviewing my friend Nick.
The first question that I asked was, "Do you have any tips for people that are trying to get into working out?"
Nick answered, " I tried to have someone go with me at first. It was hard to have the motivation every day to get up and go do something so I defiantly recommend having someone to do it with. Another thing was just figuring out what worked for me. I am the type of person that really enjoyed getting up early and that way I could be done for the day. At first, I couldn't lift heavy weights or run 2 miles but you just have to be motivated to continue getting up."
The next question that I asked Nick was, "What made you first get into working out?"
Nick's response for this one I felt was very interesting, however, he answered, "I started working out because in high school I was a swimmer and after swim, I noticed that I was getting really fit. I had never worked out before this. I also only swam for my workouts at first, I didn't go to the gym and use weights, I went to the pool and swam. This was a good way for me because I had to for practice. I started using the gym a few years later when a friend invited me over and I felt I was not as strong as I should be. So, I continued to go to his house and now today I could not imagine missing a day with him. I still go to his house and work out with him."
