My Soft Sport…

The only time I came remotely close to liking any sport was via anime. Watching Haikyuu played with my mind on a different level. So yeah, I got to like volleyball to an extent and a certain period thanks to watching fictional characters.

Aside that, do I have any sport I like? Yeah. I do. I like the fitness sport.

Be more specific Deraa.

I like body building, I like watching any shows related to weight loss, building and the rest. I didn’t think it was a sport but it is. I mean, I may not do it for a medal or something but I put effort, time and energy.

Back then, when I had little to worry about and just did as I pleased, my ultimate goal was the figure 8 shape. I don’t have a big bust, it’s just the perfect size for my height and I would later realise that it compliments me well.

As early as 5:30am, I rose and jogged to the gym that was about 15 minutes away on foot. By the time I got to the gym, my blood was warm and my lungs active. I would proceed to hop on the bike and warm up some more before the coach would deal me some heavy workouts.

From shoulders to ankle, I did them all. The coach was very intentional with the programs he doled out and he was very professional about it. I guess that’s why I always enjoyed my time at the gym.

My favourite sport would be bodybuilding. I spent a minimum of an hour daily in the gym then and no, not to look like a man. Rather, to tone and keep myself fit. It got me excited and the thought of it still does. However, I haven’t been to a gym for a while now.

If I have my way, I should resume my time at the gym. For that to happen, I need a lot to fall into place. lol.
