I know the standard (good!) advice is "dont time the market!!!" but with the market being what it is lately, it's tempting to take some cash and buy some lump sum shares of VSTAX or smth.

I'm already maxing 401k and IRA contributions on a monthly auto-buy, so this would i guess be a post tax purchase

ya as long as you got your pretax poo poo on lock doing post tax is fine, just make sure you don't want that money for other bullshit

god drat why do you need me in these meetings!!!! who books a solid 3.5 hours of meetings!!

the meetings should have agendas and like notes/actionable things as a product 100% of the time for those involved

so either you're the one making decisions or the one doing the thing. if neither, then yeah you shouldn't probably be in that meeting.

sprinting up flights of stairs to catch my train probably helped too



yeah like as long as you have daily activity (walking running etc) interspersed with more intense cardio or weightlifting youll be good

i recommend stronglifts to everyone because its good and will get you in shape and looking good over time,

but maybe you wanna stick with body weight stuff (pull ups push ups planks squats dips) that you can do at home for now, i dont have a good routine for that

Apr 27, 2004

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/

i always just give up a week into any attempt to consistently exercise

i can't find the energy or will to even try anymore, knowing this

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

can barely breathe after five minutes on an e-bike, muscles weak & getting weaker, me making excuses and/or feeling morose instead of doing something about it

yeah that's me to a t, sure enough

ok then you're starting too hard (relatively) i think, try walking a lot more as a beginning thing if you can, do the 7 minute routine once a day at home until you can do it without getting winded, then do it twice

see if a friend or family member would be willing to be a coach or at least an alarm clock to yell at you to do the small things

it's small, progressive things that work, and small incremental goals, not like super maxing lifts or crossfit or whatever the big health woo cult want you to think
