How I started exercises I'm not an athlete at all, but something had been changed in my mind few months ago. I watched a lot of youtube videos, many of them were made by US medical students. And I realised that they are absolutely different from me (but I’m not already a medical student). They are very organised and even if they are obviously more busy than me, they try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I started to do small workout pretty every day. First. it was 10’ Cindy Crawford video, but eventually it became too easy for me. So, I turned to the Shape your body series. And these are very good things for beginners, I think. After 2 weeks of training (2-3 times a week) I saw the result in a mirror. It was amazing, so I bought two 3 kilo dumbbells, two 1,5 kilo weights for legs and light Adidas sneakers (because before I trained barefoot and it was very harmful for my feet). As a new year gift, I bought for myself Apple Watch, because I’m a big fan of Apple and gadgets. Also, I expected from it that it will motivate me for fitness. And I have not erred - it really works! I did my workouts every day during New Year and Christmas holidays - something that had been too difficult for me earlier. And I continued to exercise when I returned to my work. This is a little story about how I started my fitness. Here I will write some links to the youtube channels that changed my mind in that way.

How I started exercises exercising,

I'm not an athlete at all, but something had been I changed in my mind a few months ago. I watched a lot of youtube videos, many of them were made by US medical students and I realised that they are absolutely very different from to me (but I’m not already a medical student (I'm not sure what you mean here? That you are not yet a medical student? Or that you are not a medical student at all?). They are very organised and even if though they are obviously more busy than me, they try to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I started to do a small workout pretty every day. First. it was 10’ Cindy Crawford video, but eventually it became too easy for me. So, I turned to the Shape your body series. And these are very good things for beginners, I think I think these are good for beginners. After 2 weeks of training (2-3 times a week) I saw the result in a mirror. It was amazing, so I bought two 3 kilo dumbbells, two 1.5 (English uses "." as a decimal point, not ",") kilo weights for legs and light Adidas sneakers (because before I trained barefoot before and it was very harmful for my feet).

As a new year gift, I bought for myself an Apple Watch, because I’m a big fan of Apple and gadgets. Also, I expected from it that it will motivate me for fitness (I think perhaps "motivate me to train" or "motivate me to get fit" would sound more natural. Also perhaps "I hope" rather than "I expect" might be a better choice - but "I expect" is not wrong). And I have not erred, it really works! (while this sentence is technically correct, "erred" is usually used when straying from a long term, or perhaps moral, objective (e.g. "I took a vow and haven't erred") Perhaps "I'm still going" or "I haven't quit" would be better?)  I did my workouts every day during New Year and Christmas holidays - something that had been too difficult for me earlier before and I continued to exercise when I returned to my work.

This is a little story about how I started my fitness getting fit. Here I will write some links to the youtube channels that changed my mind in that way caused me to think this way.

This was good and very understandable :)

One thing  to be careful with is starting sentences with "And". "And" is a conjunction and there are very few occasions where you use it at the start of a sentence. For example: "I ride a bike and I wear a helmet" or "I ride a bike. I also wear a helmet", but not "I ride a bike. And I wear a helmet".
