- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Appreciate it but I've always found "lifting heavy" sssssoooooooooo fecking boring!!! I'd sooner do 30-60mins of intense Ashtanga yoga, a JJ class or even a quick run. The thought of lifting heavy objects puts me to sleep.
I used to own a load of weights and a rack. I spent hundreds on a home gym but after 6 months I wanted to murder everyone and myself! It was SO frustrating. I dunno how people do it cos it just isn't for me. I'm getting on a bit (40) so I defo need to do something to keep myself active. I may go back to yoga. Ashtanga has lots of static bodyweight holds & lifts so it's not just stretching.
I hear that, and fun music is how I enjoy it. I listen to a lot of reggaeton and cumbia. Knowing that I'm getting stronger, and improving my future living standard, are also plenty motivating. Like I said, back pain and then no back pain? I'll do it.
It also scared the shit out of me to realize that some people my age couldn't do an air squat... I don't want to get old like that!
But, movement and strengthening in general is where it's at. This works for me, but whatever keeps you interested. I don't mean to make this an ad for my exercise routine!
