Pushing Limits, Feeling Stronger: My Early Gym Experience

Last week, I finally took the plunge and got a gym membership at STC Gym. I started strong with three workouts from Friday to Sunday—and wow, did my body notice the change. After the very first session, I felt more awake, my muscles more alive than they had in years. It was such a refreshing and energizing feeling!

A Little Surprise

Saturday brought an unexpected twist: a brief fever of 38°C. My guess? My body was reacting to a level of exertion it hadn’t experienced in a long time. Thankfully, it passed by the end of the day, and I was back at the gym. Both Saturday’s and Sunday’s workouts felt amazing, and I could really feel my strength building.

Adjusting the Plan

By Sunday evening, the effects of my new routine were clear. This week, I had originally planned to work out Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. But after feeling pretty wiped out on Friday, I moved one session to Saturday instead. One highlight so far: with every workout, I’ve been steadily increasing the weights on several exercises. Feeling stronger after each set has been incredibly motivating!

The Plan Ahead

I’ll continue following this program, which I designed with a little help from ChatGPT, for the next 4–6 weeks. After that, I plan to split my training into a dedicated leg day and an upper-body day. This will allow me to focus more intensely on each area and keep pushing my limits.

How Chat GPT Helped Me Create a Machine-Based Gym Routine for Golf

After years away from the gym, I wanted to get back in shape for the golf season. I asked ChatGPT to design a safe, beginner-friendly, machine-based program — and I’m excited to start following it!
