The written test went well; I’ve trained my mind to relax during tests through a lifetime of testing in schools. It was easier to absorb the information, as it was fun and actually useful to learn about body mechanics, anatomy, and exercises; it was a passion. After the exam, we found that the API gym had been fully transformed into a super-circuit with pro fighters at some stations to determine whether we had proper form; each station had a set amount of either time or repetitions; if a rep was done incorrectly, it did not count. My jaw dropped as I noticed that there were so many stations for us, ranging from heavy weights to body exercises to cardio. And, yes, the inclined treadmill was on the list, the same station that treated me so well the first night. But things were different now. I was stronger, faster, and mentally stronger, thanks to everyone at API, and I was going to make them proud. I psyched myself up before we started. I told myself that I was doing this for Beata and everyone at API.
