conseuences of that decision might be in the future.
To the Editor
I am writing in response to your call for letters explaining personal experiences of
making a significant decision. I would like to share my experience in hope that
other readers might have good use of it.
For many years, I have been leading a sedentary lifestile, which is, in my opinion,
the plague of the new age. As a university student, I spent many hours studying
and reading, and the trend continued when I graduated and got an employment that
implied sitting at the computer for hours. onse!uently, and not surprisingly, the
pain in the lower back started bothering me " a disturbance that progressed with
years. It was not until my arms also started aching that I paid a visit to a doctor
and started worying about the condition of my body. I set out on a research and
gahtered all the possible information about physical health.
It is then that I decided to start a program of physical exercises and follow it
through into my senior days. I opted for a combination of weightlifting and
cardiovascular training, since I learned that, firstly, weightlifting is the only type
of exercise that provokes the production of marrow and muscle tissue, that people
normally loose due to ageing, and secondly, that cardiovascular exercising
improves your overall vitality and flexibility. Thus I found a suitable fitness center
and started paving the new path to the healthy living.
In the end, even if there might be some unwanted side#effects, such as tiredness or
lack of time for watching television, this decision is expected to lead me to
numerous benefits. $ost importantly, my physical and mental well#being will
improve, and once my muscles are stronger, they will be better suporters for my
body and the chances are that the pain will gradually decrease and finally
dissappear. All in all, I feel that that was a milestone decision of my life.
%ours sincerely,
