for base activity the 7 minute workout done 2-3 times in a row is p good https://youtu.be/ECxYJcnvyMw the arnie covid home workout was also p good the first year of covid though i still suck at push ups https://www.reddit.com/user/GovSchwarzenegger/comments/flz3es/stay_at_home_stay_fit/ there is a thread about this https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3953955&perpage=40&noseen=1&pagenumber=11 if youre in good health and mobile, you can get into shape all it takes is consistency Share Bear fucked around with this message at 19:03 on May 31, 2022 |

i think jumping directly into doing gym stuff needs a little build up or youll get overwhelmed, the body weight squats are a great start

I’ve only been doing calisthenics, body weight exercises, and long walks since the start of the pandemic in combination with trying to eat better to control my IBS. I’m down to 160 from 190, but I need to start doing actual weights soon now that I’m at a good base level and am happy with my cardio

dioxazine posted:this would also be a nothing was learned situation Another fun wrinkle is that the reason for the delay is because Lessons Learned meetings have a specific timeslot on Thursdays that nobody is allowed to schedule anything else into and, as a result, that one timeslot is vastly backlogged with Lessons that need to be Learned. And everybody is just…fine with this, I guess. (I will likely have words to say about this and everybody will just go, "Well, what're ya gonna do?" lol) But yeah, I don't know how anybody who responded to the original outage (which does not include me, because I don't check work stuff on weekends lol) is expected to even remember what happened any more. Doubly so because the resolution was "restart it" and there really isn't much more to it.

quote:i always just give up a week into any attempt to consistently exercise are you maybe going to hard to start out? or maybe can't find the time effectively (like it feels like you should be doing something else with your time)? i want to know because my main thing is always about trying to figure out how to get people i know to stick at it, because it's the "sticking at it" part that makes it work the biggest thing i've found is people try to do too much at once, overloading themselves and then giving up it should be gradual. like start exercising, then like 6 months later, start eating healthier, then like 6 months later, change up your workout to be more intense or goal targeted and so on, they beget each other very naturally. or like having someone you REALLY love or respect get on your rear end about it, in a nice way

your heart is a muscle you can train too so if you get gassed really easily you just gotta keep at it until you build your cardiovascular endurance

exercise kind of does get easier when you notice that you generally feel better than before you started, sleep better, better mood, etc

I guess I'm going to start back up on the dumbbells today thanks to you guys. Was lifting daily in inpatient and felt amazing, but it fell by the wayside after a while. No idea why, lifting heavy poo poo is like my favorite feeling in the world.

going hiking again last weekend really made me miss having not hiked at all for the last three years. mostly stuck with doing exercises in the back yard or early morning jogging sadly, most of my hiking pals were also my tabletop pals and the great majority of them took the opportunity to move in the last year or two

Stronglifts is a solid program for beginners. I went from squatting 125 to 225 in a little longer than 2 months. It could stand to be improved though, it involves a lot of squats, can get monotonous, and doesn't quite hit enough areas. I switched to GZCLP; here's a good infographic that describes it - https://saynotobroscience.com/gzclp-infographic/ The progression is really quite easy once you get into it, and it covers a lot of compound lifts. Also does a good job of improving both work capacity and heavy lifting.
