My Gym
The gym that I would build will be equipped with everything needed to
ensure the best possible workout. My gym would be constructed next to the
hills. I would make sure that there is a little pathway paved through the hills
so that the members of my gym can jog through their when ever they want
and at the same time they can enjoy the beautiful scenery, get fresh air (which
is important), and have the advantage of jogging up hills as oppose to a
treadmill.
The most important thing to me would be the safety of my clients.
Regarding this matter, I would make sure there are stand-by paramedics to
take care of any injured clients. I will also have many people trained to give
massages for people who have pulled a muscle or who are sore. Every one of
my clients will be required to take a class on safety, like how to use the
equipment and the precautions that must be taken while training. Another
class will be offered every week on basic health, proper foods and drinks that
should be consumed, hygiene, vitamins, etc. will be discussed (this class will
not be required).
My gym will also include a sanna. Here you can relaxed and just sweat
off your extra weight while enjoying a friendly conservation with someone (
their will be separate sannas for men and women). I will also have bathrooms,
of course, and showers for people who want to freshen up after a big workout
because personal hygiene is very important. I will also have an air conditioner
that will constantly blow oxygen through each room to ensure my clients best
workout.
A bar will also be available. Here clients will be able to get a healthy
shake, juice beverage, sports drink, or just plain water. Many of these drinks
will include vitamins and agents that are essential for the most beneficial
workout. I will also have a salad bar with a wide variety of vegetables and
dressing to choose from incase people get hungry.
Last, but most certainly not least, I will include the gym equipment. I
will include the following: seated extention and curl which will workout the
lower arm muscles. A leg extention will be put in to workout the leg muscles.
A standing calf and step up machine will be included so you can get bigger
calves (this is great for basketball athletes who want to increase their jump
height). A seated bicep machine will also be available for people who want to
get bigger biceps of course.
The gluteus maximus originates from both the ilium and the sacrum and inserts on the femur. The gluteus minimus abducts and rotates the thigh outward. The biceps femoris originates from the tuberosity of the ischium and is responsible for abducting the thigh and flexing the hindlimb or in humans the thigh/leg. The gastrognemius originates from the lateral sesamoid bone of the femur and extends the hindfoot in minks and the calves in humans (Scott).
bond we share as human beings. The paths we take in life can be of great distress, but the outcome will determine the will of who we are. These paths are a “sign of where we’ve been” (line 11). Doty challenges us how to balance the weight of the world through self-confidence and consideration of others for guidance. According to Doty, this guidance can be found in common places.

At the Gym, written by Mark Doty, dramatizes the conflict within the mind of a bodybuilder and his desire to change who and what he is. The speaker observes the routines of the bodybuilder bench-pressing at a local gym, and attempts to explain the driving force that compels him to change his appearance. The speaker illustrates the physical use of inanimate objects as the tools used for the “desired” transformation: “and hoist nothing that need be lifted” (5,6). However, coupled with “but some burden they’ve chosen this time” (7), the speaker takes the illustration beyond the physical use of the tools of transformation and delves into the bodybuilder’s mental state. The speaker ends by portraying the bodybuilder as an arrogant, muscular being with fragile feelings of insecurity.
Squats are most commonly known for building muscle in your entire body. They can sufficiently help build your leg muscles including your quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves.
There is no elevator leading up to the cardio loft rendering it inaccessible to individuals using wheelchairs. Both locker rooms are located along the back wall of the gym. They each include wide entrances that lead into large open areas with lockers. Some of the lockers are lower to the ground while others are up much higher off the ground, allowing for easy access. The bathroom areas of the locker rooms are somewhat crowded, but each include a single wheelchair accessible stall equipped with bars to make transfers from wheelchairs easier. There is also one shower adapted to meet the needs of people in wheelchairs included in each bathroom. These showers are very spacious and are flush with the floor allowing them to easily be entered

Although fitness centers and gyms may appear to be a place to break a sweat and work out with the intention of not being seen without makeup and in grungy clothes, this may not be the case, in particular when it comes to college gyms. Contrary to the findings Tamara L. Black displayed in her dissertation for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology from the University of California in Los Angeles, in which she depicts the situation of the classical fitness center as exercise dominated, after observations made while participating in the Boston College Recreational Complex, fitness centers may be more heavily focused on expressing sexual and social relations than for health related issues. Although she does not elaborate on this view of the gym, she does recognize that “popular media, cultural stereotypes, and some empirical literature depict gyms as places to meet people, where sexualized interactions are likely to take place, where bodies are on display as objects of desire” (pg. 40). This may be the perfect definition of the situation that I found in my observations. Shari L. Dworkin and Faye Linda Wachs, in Body Panic: Gender, Health, and the Selling of Fitness, acknowledge “mainstream media construct men as active and women as inactive. In this view, women are often shown as ‘being visually perfect’ and passive, immobile, and unchanging’” (pg. 40). Perhaps we have media to blame for this hyper-sexualization of a situation that was initially intended for self-fulfillment and health related practices.
Lets start by understanding that cultures are a melting pot of people’s beliefs, language, behaviors, values, material objects, and norms. Norms are written and non-written “expectations of behavior” that govern a certain location, place, or culture (26). These norms also vary from culture to culture meaning what is a norm in the U.S may not be a norm in India. For example, a norm in America would be tipping a waiter after a meal. Another would be acknowledging someone as you walk past him or her, typically done at work or in a public place. In all, norms are folkways, mores, taboos, and written laws that are an established standard of one’s behavior.
The history of massage therapy can be traced back over 4,000 years varying in several different applications and styles. The word ‘massage’ originates from the Arabic root “mass’h” which means to touch, knead or squeeze. Massage is traced back to the Ancient Chinese, Greek and Roman history and some of the greatest medical historians and physicians of antiquity have recorded their use of massage for therapeutic purposes including the enhancement of circulatory and joint movement. In the 1850s, two American physicians who had studied in Sweden introduced massage therapy becoming popular, it was encouraged for a variety of health purposes. During the 1930s and 1940s with scientific and technological advances of medical treatment, the United States lost interest, only to revive the use of massage therapy in the 1970s, particularly amongst athletes.
The gym where I train and workout, the Dubuque Martial Arts Group, is a place where I know who I am. It is a place I can go to escape my problems for a while and release some stress. It's not the actual physical building, but rather the events that have occurred there over the years. It's where I have formed some of my closest friendships. It is the place I have invested years of hard work for many of my accomplishments. To some it may seem odd that a place associated with sweat, blood and physical pain mean so much to someone. However, in my eyes it's almost like a second home.
( http://www.latimes.com:80/CNS_DAYS/980831/t000079147.html) There are many different methods of massage therapy such as traditional European massages, Contemporary western massages, Structual/Movement/Functional/Integration massages, oriental methods and energetic methods.
Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however it does have its draw backs. Importantly it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless the roads can be some of the most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night.
Do you ever wonder why certain places mean so much to certain people? When I think of my bedroom, I realize why some people are touchy about who goes in their room or who has been touching things in their home, it is because those things are important to them and may have some meaning. Places like my bedroom are places where we can relax and be comfortable and I think that is why it is important to people, because we can be ourselves and feel comfortable, we can also just sit down and rest our bones and relax. Another important reason is we can go there when we want privacy, we can just shut our door, maybe even lock it, and tell everyone in our household not to bother us. Also our rooms hold most of our personal belongings and those things are important to us and we do not want anyone else to touch them or in some cases go near them.
For example, I would like the food and the setup to be buffet style. I would want there to be a section for every food and type of food you could possibly imagine. Many people don’t like the food they serve. They would probably prefer home cooked meals over the school food we have now. Many people like myself would love there to be food from places all around the world. School lunch would be much better no matter what food they serve from what they do now.
