Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Not quite as dramatic as in Liar, Liar, but I’ve been having a really shitty past few days mentally, and today was the first opportunity I’ve had to get to the gym since last Thursday.

We did a lot of cardio today: 7 minutes alternating between running, rowing, running again, and ski machine; then we did 5 minutes alternating between rowing and kettlebell jump squat; and 5 minutes alternating between skiing and dumbbell thrusters.

I absolutely killed it. I usually run out of breath and end up maxing out my heart rate (180bpm), which usually causes me to hit the wall pretty quickly with cardio. But today I ran 725m out of 800, and I did almost everything unbroken (i.e. non-stop). I did pause for 10 seconds near the end on the ski machine to catch my breath, but I’d like to think I made up for it by going full blast for the last 15 seconds.

Suffice it to say, I feel less shitty right now.
