I already run, but I would like to incorporate some total body strength training. Just to stay health and build enough strength to be able to stay fit and limber. I’ve got that “Homemade Muscle” book that seems to be what I’m looking for, but want to see if you all have any recommendations.

I’m also trying to figure if there’s some low cost equipment I should add that would help. Like those variable weight dumbells, I think I could afford those. But a full set a weight plates is well beyond what I can afford.

honestly was looking for a jordan peterson equivilant of "clean your room" and workout sort of rhetoric - but coming from communists

something along the lines of theory/ logical thinking that would state how required it was to work out and develop discipline - this was all rhetoric spurred after reading roderic day

Like the title says I'm looking for a free (preferably open source) app yo track my gym progress.

Somewhere where I can add my weights. May be the app can remind when it's time to increase the weight (progressive overload).

it would also be cool if there is charts to monitor progress.

I think most days after I do OHP, I've felt like I got a crick in my neck, so I think I'm doing something wrong. Idk what though, any common mistakes in form or something that cause this?

Do you think the trireme of revolution can propel itself to victory? Nay! Without our daily diligence, our sweat and concerted labor, the ship of liberty will stagnate in the doldrums of liberalism!

Get on that rower and push yourself, for yourself and for all our futures!

And make sure to stretch! Stretch before! Stop 10 minutes in and stretch again!

Not sure if this is the right place.

I'm looking for a foldable treadmill with a tablet stand. I hope it is sturdy enough that won't undo itself, and the motor just don't burnt out once pass the warranty. I have a budget of about £200. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I've heard of Lose It and My Fitness Pal. Anyone have experience with them or other ones?

Edit: Sorry about the laggy response, my shifts have been longer lately.

No idea where to start I'm so confused as to what to immediately cut out of my diet and what exercises for a beginner to start with?

What should I start eating?

I'm 6 foot or 6 foot 1 and 195 pounds with a dad bad right now that I want to at least turn into some muscle

Late night, slept in, etc

Feeling better, though with march and two death anniversaries coming up that will most likely change. Still sticking to the exercising though, it helps me clear my head an refocus things. Back to 30 minutes at 22ish strokes/min, otherwise that's all I have to report. Check on your loved ones and look after yourselves too meow-hug

I didn't do any rowing yesterday because grief and depression are real bastards. The last few days have been rough, though I got in 20 minutes of rowing today.

Slept in today but when I (eventually) rolled out of bed I got right to my 30 minutes of rowing! It's looking like winter might actually make an appearance so biking to and from school might be off the table until it melts, but I'll gladly take that if I can savour an increasingly rare walk in the snow.

I'm really happy with sustaining 30 minutes a day, and it's looking like I'll be able to start biking more places thanks to climate change (no snow in February is freaking me out) but at least I can get some outside activity in before the wildfire smoke season starts up!

Sorry about the doomer vibe in this post but c'est la vie if you'll pardon my French

My bouldering gym got one of those cute little library boxes where you can take a book out and put a different one in it's place. Time to fill it with theory lenin-laugh

30 minutes just keeps getting easier and going by faster. This is definitely the longest I've stuck to any exercise program and I'm feeling results! arm-Lyuriarm-R

Another day, another 30 minutes of rowing. Not much else to report, but I am happy with my streak of hitting 30 minutes each day!

Got to it a little earlier today, tried turning up the resistance and did 30 minutes without stopping! Feeling it in my legs but I think it was the right move, see y'all tomorrow!

I'm back at it with another 30 minutes of uninterrupted rowing! I deliberated over restarting the count vs just picking up where I left off, I decided I'll just continue where I left off since I'm the one doing these posts and I'm mad with power.

Also I did get some hiking in over the weekend and was lucky enough to see some cool birds including a hawk that flew right by me!

Got to it a little late due to classes and schoolwork getting in the way, but I did a solid 30 minutes with only token water breaks! I might have to pull an all nighter to get this paper done so we'll see what tomorrow looks like. Also I'm traveling for a wedding this weekend so I might miss a couple days, I'll have to see what happens, but that's a problem for Saturday
