With an internet | connection and free YouTube videos (dance, body weight training | tutorials, et al) it is even _pleasant_. | | People often make a big song and dance about how they "need" | that $400 bike or $1500 running machine, or "need" gym access | to do _anything_. This is all a self-induced fiction (although | marketers likely deserve blame here too). | | There might be limited truth for the top-1% of athletes who | require highly regimented training routines; but for the | general public nah. COVID didn't make you sedentary, you made | you sedentary. | itsagavin wrote: | Marijuana was pivotal to me being able to live a life of daily | exercise. I dropped 140lbs and run a daily 8k on trails from | being extremely obese in the span of 2 years. If it is legal for | you to try it I highly recommend it for its ability to help you | push through mental blocks and it's appreciable aid in recovery. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-01-09 23:00 UTC)
