Un buen día en el gimnasio

Tom starts his warm-up on the treadmill. He walks fast for a few minutes and then starts to run. His heart beats faster and he starts to sweat. He feels his body wake up. After running, he goes to the weights area. He wants to train his legs, so he does squats, leg extensions, leg curls, and the leg press.

The workout is very intense. He takes short breaks to drink water. Around him, other people also train. Some lift heavy weights; others run on the machines. The room is full of energy and movement. Tom feels part of a team, even though they all train alone.

After an hour, Tom finishes his workout. He feels proud and a bit tired. He wipes his face with a towel and breathes deeply. “It has been a good session,” he says. His muscles feel warm and strong. He decides to go to the sauna to relax.

The sauna is quiet and warm. Tom sits down on the wooden bench and closes his eyes. The heat feels good on his skin. He breathes slowly and feels how his body calms down. He thinks about his day and about how small problems can happen to anyone. He smiles when remembering the kind help from María.

Sitting in the sauna, Tom feels at peace. He thinks about his goals for next week. Maybe he will go out by bike tomorrow if the weather is good. He feels lucky to have time to do the things he likes. “I feel good,” he says in a low voice. “I feel strong and alive.”

After the sauna, Tom takes a cool shower. The water feels refreshing after the heat. He gets dressed and puts his things back in the gym bag. When he leaves, he feels light and relaxed. The sun is still shining and the sky is blue. He breathes deeply and enjoys the fresh air.

Tom gets on his bike and goes home. His legs feel tired, but in a good way. He thinks about how his morning started with a problem but ended perfectly. “What a great workout,” he tells himself. He feels full of energy and happy. It is a good day for Tom, and he knows he will sleep well tonight.
