Working Out Works!

It has been more than 4 weeks of working out with Francesco and It's great especially when we are provided personal training from Peter (year 13). Everytime after working out I feel more relieved and clean from the inside though.  It is a great way of releasing all the pressure that IB gatheres. 

We have succeeded with our objectives by going four times a week to the school's gym and each time training different muscles (chest, shoulders, back and legs). So far we have made a noticeable progress as we have been trying to add more weight every time we train a muscle. That's what we have been told to be the best way of gaining muscle. Progress is also noticeable on the physical look. So far, I'm happy with my results of working out. Sometimes it just feels that an additional half an hour added to our work out would'nt be too bad.

Me and Francesco have been thinking of adding an extra work out only for arms as we have got one day of the week available. Also I have been thinking of going to swim on weekends which would be a good way of supporting the muscle growth. I will definitely go swim during the half-term break in Finland and possibly go to the Gym as well. 

(For next gym post i will try to have a picture of me doing something)

DoReMI...

Since we have got a piano in our apartment and my sister is already taking lessons I decided to have a go as well. Three weeks ago on Sunday after my sister had finished her lesson It was my turn. I had a lesson today as well and i'm starting to like playing the piano very much. I have been learning some basic knowledge of how to read the notes correctly. Last time I was learning to play Jingle Bells and today one Finnish Christmas song.  So far I have had three lessons and each one of them have lasted from 1-1.5 hours. 

I won't be having any more lessons before the term break however i'm looking forward to continue the lessons after the break and will be having them twice a week and hopefully will start to practice some more longer and challenging songs. Not Mozart though! Later on in spring I might actually post a video of me playing.
