“Exercising” 

Exercising is like cleaning your dirty clothes in a washing machine. The feeling of rinsing yourself 
off from all the distressing moments you have gone through during the day, for me, is the best feeling 
in the whole world. Even an insignificant amount of time spent working out helps me function a bit 
more happily. The sound of blasting music screaming in my ears lifts me to push harder and faster 
than I feel I am able, giving me extra power to keep propelling forward. Callus starts to form in my 
palms as I pull myself on top of the solid metal bar after doing a couple of pullups. Sweat begins to 
drip down my forehead and falls silently on to the floor.  

-Zalmy Belinsky
