Post # 4 - Going to Extremes: Sports and Obsessions

Hi everyone,

I don't think I have any obsession but I have to admit that I used to be spend many hours at the gym before but, I never felt that became an obsession or probable I did,  I am not pretty sure but here is a little bit more about one of my hobbies and you can tell me, if it was an obsession or not.

I start going to the gym about 2 years ago and that was when I only used to work and I used to have free time.  At the beginning, I couldn't go more than 3 hours per week but when I felt my body more conformable (no more muscles pain) I increased more hours.  A year later, I found me doing it for about 9 to 10 hour per week.  I was impressed.  I have to not pressure myself, I just enjoyed it and I discovered an interesting class that got me hooked on.  Body Jam, it is a cardio workout class with different styles of music from some ballet moves to salsa or cha cha cha, basically a dance class.  I could miss any class but not that one, that was my favorite one but actually I had to leave it because I do not have time anymore.  Between school, my part time job and homework, it is not possible for me.  Any ways, it was good while it lasted because, I could increase my cardiovascular fitness, improve my life style and the best of all, I was not sick for a long time, I mean no cold, no cough, no too much headaches, no stomach problems and the stress disappeared far.  It was really beneficial in all the aspects physically and mentally and burning a lot of calories at the same time, Not bad eh?  I really enjoyed it.

Here is a Body Jam video with one of my favorites release.  I hope you enjoy and do not forget send me your opinion.  Do you think if I was obsess or not?
Thanks,

  1. Hmmmm I don't think you were obsessed. I think you found something that you loved to do, and that is great! I hope that you can return to the class during the winter break. Will you be joining us for the winter semester in the ELP program?

  2. Thanks Julie, I was a little worry to became obsessed during this Unit but I could leave it, maybe I'll be back to my classes in the next two weeks before I leave. I really really would like to continue the ELP program, but you know, I can't and that makes me so sad.
