Fitness, Digital gaming pro.(FIFA), Swimming

The gym became a beneficial activity for my health, as well as my everyday life. Every second in the gym, carries me further and further away from reality.


Swimming is a good all-round activity because it keeps my heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off my body. its builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. its helps maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs


Digital gaming especially (FIFA) keeps me indoors and makes analetically intelligent.
