A type of exercise that I like to do is lifting weights. I usually do this at the gym three times a week. However, I used to exercise every day in the past, but I had knee surgery which prevented me from exercising every day. What I usually do is that I focus on a specific part of the body each day. For example, I focus on the upper body on the first day of the week, or the first time that I practice during the week. On the second time, I focus on the lower body. I used to have a personal trainer who was very helpful to me. He would explain to me how to properly perform the exercise without harming any part of my body. I think that this exercise is essential to me because it is very healthy and leads to a healthier life. During such type of exercise, you build muscles on the long term. These muscles will be able to tolerate many negative aspects that you might encounter during your daily life, such as stress or when you are tired. I think that in the future I might be able to lift heavier weights, but I am very cautious about this regarding my healthy situation.
