Weekly exercise thread, November 5th 2023

A place where comrades can
(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,
(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and
(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.
Rule:
Approach every conversation in good faith.
I've been mostly sticking to my usual daily cardio and bodyweight routine at home, and my bum and thighs are definitely getting bigger. I split my favourite pair of jeans, my second favourite have been far too tight for several months, and I can't afford to replace either of them. But it's progress I guess.
We had a lot of rain here a couple of weeks ago which temporarily broke the boiler (landleech knows it keeps happening and doesn't gaf) so I had some cold showers too. For me, they're fine right after a workout but almost like a form of torture when you're already freezing cold.
