- 3/11/2020 - Covid-19 is announced as a global pandemic and New YorkCity schools will have an extra weekof Spring Break with one week of online school following.
- An extra week of break? This day could not get any better. Im gonna play so much Fortnite
- I know right? This is so sick!
- FortniteFoodSleep
- At this point in time, I was ecstatic for the long break, but I kinda sucked I had to stay inside all day. I showed no concern for the pandemic because I reminded daily the pandemic was going to be over soon and it was not that bad.
- The break was very relaxing. I played a concerning amount of video games and ignored my parents telling me to stop. I still, showed no attention towards other things besides school and fortnite.
- Fortnite
- Get off the game and come to dinner!
- Late May 2020. I was scrolling on Tik tok like any kid during quarantine. And I stumbled upon a Fitness influencer's tik tok page. I was intrigued.
- This dinner, about two weeks through my extended spring break, was when the true nature of the severity of this pandemic was brought to my attention. I also thought I would be stuck inside my house for longer than three weeks.
- Thats horrible I did not know this was happening.
- This pandemic is getting very serious, James. Thousands are getting sick and being hospitals.
- April 2020. About 5 days out from the conclusion of the extended spring break, it was announced that the rest of the school year will be conducted online via zoom. I was in favor of this because I got to be home and do my own thing, but little did I know the harsh boredom that will come with this.
- School closed until next year. Online school for the rest of the school year.
- Day after day...
- Week after week. The endless cycle of school and then video games was getting quite repetitive and boring which would have come as a surprise to me before the pandemic. But, this will happen with everything you do.
- I was disappointed with my mother's answer, even though it was out of her control. I did not let this inconvenience prevent me from getting into fitness.
- His name is Alex Eubank. And he is the one who sparked my Fitness journey and interest. Still to this day, I look up to him in terms of my fitness goals.
- Thats sick! I wanna look like that.
- Seeing that one tik tok during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sparked a whole new lifestyle for myself and totally changed my life. I would make great use of the time I had in lockdown to better myself physically and mentally.
- Later that day, I asked my mom if I could buy a gym membership, with my own money of course. I couldn't see a reason she would say no since there are only benefits.
- Normally James, I would say yes. If you haven't notice, we are in a global pandemic and pretty much every is closed down, sorry.
- Hey, can I get a gym membership? There's nothing to do and I'm so bored everyday after school.
- ff
- The next morning, I took my exceptional research talents to the internet and tik tok to figure out how to workout at home with minimal equipment.
- Needless to say for the rest of the time that gyms were closed in New York, I became a pullup, pushup, crunch, and situp enthusiast. Which was much more beneficial than playing video games all day after school.
- After a day of working out, I felt better and more refreshed when I woke up.
- I also had better focus and energized when I was participating in online school. Overall, working out greatly helped my mental state and got me through quarantine.
- Like anyone else, I struggled during the Covid- 19 revolution with isolation and all. However, I tried to make the most of the time I had and I found a long-term passion...
- I can't wait to workout again
- Fast forward two and a half years...
- That I am still working towards and striving for goals in. Starting Getting into Fitness during the Covid revolution truly gave me a gift. Something I cannot live without today and something I will love for the rest of my life.
- Working out and lifting weights continues to benefit my daily performance physically on the field.
- Moral of the story... Find something you LOVE thats creates benefits to your everyday life.
- And in the classroom.
