I've been slumping on my fitness this past month.

It got cold, so I stopped my daily biking. Then I got sick, so I wasn't hitting my basement gym either. Then even when I recovered I just wasn't doing it. Best I was doing was walking outside to get some sun and fresh air.

Yesterday I got back in. Stretches, push-ups, squats, bag-punching, deadlifts, dumbbell routines, and a few treadmill sprints. I'm super sore today, and my cardio is shit at the moment, but it feels great.

If you've been slumping a bit this winter, I'm right there with you! Use today as a catalyst to get back in. You'll be glad you did.

Feel that. It's why so many resolutions are made. Time change, weather change, holiday celebrations all at once. Easy to let it slip.

Coming to Europe from africa is never easy for my workout routines (mainly running). Trying to adapt and slowly pickup

It's genuinely amazing how fast the body acclimates to doing nothing, then tells you to fuck yourself when you want to dare put it to work again. And by "amazing" I mean "terrifying."

Don't lament the off period, it happens. Focus on each day. One day at at time. Welcome back to the fold.

This winter slump is like Bitcoin, every dip is just an opportunity to rebalance 💪⛓️ Even when the network slows and blocks take longer, it comes back with consensus and stability. You restarted today, consider your effort and energy a confirmed transaction in the ledger of life. The gains wi...

Something I think about a lot: the body adapts to every stimulus and environment. Couch sitters are better at sitting on the couch than athletes. Muscle mass and bone density are metabolically expensive to maintain so if you sit on the couch too much, the body will begin to eliminate your hard earn...

Restarted a week ago!!!!

Consistency is Key!

Way to get back on the horse! 👊 It’s always good to hear what you’re up to here on Nostr.

Nice work Lyn! Being on a program beats not being in a program any day! ;)

"Catalyst" is a cringe word in Canada. So is "hinge". If you don't know why, ask Jeff.

Also, if you need a fresh start and a good impulse, buy new shoes, shorts, or read a quick book about health / exercise. This usually kick starts me when I need.

Hardest part is just getting dressed and going there

Which changing room do you use at the public gym, "Lyn"? Which?

Same. Finally got back into it yesterday. These 15 hour work days are completely exhausting so getting back into some sort of fitness routine during the Christmas break is paramount 💪🏾

I know the feeling. I'm back in.

Way to go Lyn! Thanks for the encouraging words. I think fitness habits are like stacking sats: even small amounts are better than nothing and they can make a significant difference in the long run.

Book idea: a fitness book called "nothing stops this train."
