Independent Component 1

Literal

A) I, Anthony Torres affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 32 hours and 30 minutes of work.

B) I have a book log of what I did each day in the gym.

D) I went to the gym for this component and had a nice routine.

Interpretive

The gym is very significant to my project because it provided me experience and experimenting with different workouts. I have increased a nice amount of my muscle mass. I will provide evidence with my notebook of my workouts.

This helped me understand how exercising can promote muscle mass. There is a photo of me in a previous post of me in the gym and that proves that heavy lifting can increase mass.

January

In the month of January, I have been working with my mentor and been researching to expand my knowledge of gaining muscle mass. I finished my independent component hours but I have to update my log. It was really fun doing this independent component and can not wait to do the next one. My muscle mass has increased and this is good experience to support my EQ. Nice way to start the new year of 2015.
