Fitness Regimen of the Olympians

August 10, 2016 by NOGOYE BASS Leave a Comment

 

Have you ever watched the Olympics and wonder how so many olympic athletes are so healthy 

Athletes are trained almost everyday to keep their strong and healthy body on fit. By exercising, athletes force themselves to eat healthy, warm ups in the morning and also find a way to enjoy exercise and also win during the olympics.

“As an athlete, I do enjoy exercising by challenging myself to run faster everyday” says Coumba Bass, a squash player in Manhattan . Athletes sometimes challenge themselves to have more confidence in keeping fit.

“Athletes work on building muscles and improving aerobic conditioning many months before their season starts so as not to interfere with their sport-specific fitness and conditioning needs” according to healthyliving.azcentral.com.

Most of the time during off seasons, olympic athletes exercise to reduce stress. “before the start of a season, athletes use about half their maximum weight or resistance levels and perform more reps on an exercise to build muscular endurance” says healthyliving.azcentral.com.

“When I exercise I don’t pay attention to anything that had made me stress or get mad,because exercising makes me have confident in myself I love staying fit because then I don’t have to worry about my body weight” says Ndeye Bass, also a squash player in Manhattan.

“I never skip leg day,but i never do cardio and i should do cardio because cardio is good for me” says Ali Ayoub who exercise at Blink Fitness. “If you already skip leg day then you musn’tve skip leg day and you would of been strong” argued Sam Wilby a teen who also exercise at Blink Fitness.

“The United States Olympic Committee has partnered with high-performance training centers to provide U.S. athletes with elite training facilities for their sport development.The USOC has established three Olympic Training Centers along with 17 Olympic Training Sites located in 15 states throughout the U.S. Millions of dollars were invested into these complexes to ensure athletes receive the best training in the country. Although catered toward elite athletes, these complexes are also open to the public for tours and event services” according to teamusa.org

Teen Pregnancy:

August 4, 2016 by NOGOYE BASS Leave a Comment

Teens across the world face deep depression when they are accused of doing the wrong thing by bringing a human to life. Many critics don’t even realize that they are judging someone because they got pregnant at a young age. They don’t know that some of the teens  were either raped or even forced to get married at a young age and then have a child at a young age. Many critics believe that teens are too young to take care of a child. Teen pregnancy is not a crime because it is their decision if they want to be a young mother or not.

 

Good or Bad?

Many people don’t have opinions on teen pregnancy. There are plenty who say there is nothing wrong with teen pregnancy because they believe that it depends on the situation that the mother went through.

According to a college now student name Aleida,,’’My opinion on teen pregnancy is that there’s nothing wrong with it,but i just feel that so many girls fall under pressure that it maybe leads them to having sexual relationship with a person and then they end up getting pregnant and when that happens they don’t know what to do after you now”.

Some say teens sometimes get raped and get pregnant leading them to being depressed and stressed out. They sometimes have to leave school in order to take care of their child and not getting help.

In some cases,teens are forced to get married and have no job, and when they get pregnant, they take care of the child being helpless and many people have negative opinions based on that. Sometime it’s also religion that gives people the rights to judge on teen pregnancy. Many religious people may say that in the Bible or Quran,you have to get married before you have a child and if they do the opposite,they are punished by God.

 

Teen pregnancy is not a bad idea.Many teens are still going to school while having a child. It’s not also good to judge someone if they made an act of getting pregnant because in the Bible and Quran, you have to let God do the judging.

For those who are religious and listen to the Holy Book, you are considered a hypocrite for judging someone because teens got pregnant, even if it was done intentionally or unintentionally. Some reasons may include forced marriage and rape. Therefore, teen pregnancy is not bad idea.  

I am not against teen pregnancy, teens that are mothers are doing great taking care of a child of their own.
