I prefer the dentist tbh. She is cute though 😏

I've been riding a bike almost every day since 2009. I've been hit by 7 cars, been partially disabled by the last 2, but also went from 350lbs to 190lbs, raced, rode a bike to my first full time job at a bike shop for 2 years riding 66 miles round trip, then lead out the group ride for the shop most Saturdays to make it a century ride. I can barely walk now but still hit 26 miles on the bike most days. It is the only time I'm still kinda normal. Many bad days when I'm physically doing terrible, riding is my whole day and helps get be back in shape. Today was one of those days after feeding a cat caused something to fail in my back last night.

I tried the gym, jogging, and other junk before. I just had to find my thing. I'm a hardcore roadie.

I dislike running, getting tired, hot and sweaty. However i love post workout feeling good, the moment its over for the day, the tension of my muslces after a workout, and a nice cold shower especially during summer heat. I also enjoy when i notice things have become easier after being consistent with my workouts, though i have to increase the difficulty its a nice fealing of progress. Sleep is getting better i just need my meals to be at a good direction to get the best out of myself.

Take it from Arnold

Sometimes yes, I enjoy pushing my limits. I only started to enjoy it when I started seeing visual progress though..

I'm ill right now and not happy that I can't go to the gym

I've found that the hurdle is actually starting and motivating yourself to go do it..after though, I feel great for doing it.

I love running and running on the treadmill. I get into a rhythm and it's like meditation. I don't listen to music and I'm faxing a blank wall.

Eh, not sure if enjoyment is the right word. But it's nice.

I started with running this year and it was awful and painful. But after I passed a certain threshold I realized it's no longer painful, I could just hold the pace and run like forever.

Now it's sort of relaxing experience where I can just let loose my brain and think about whatever I want for like half an hour. Which is nice when you're an adult with no time for yourself

How to achieve this - I don't even know myself how I made it. I got one of those Garmin watches for birthday and there was this Coach feature, I just followed it and after like 4 months I was able to run 12 km

I love it, I listen to music and it's like meditation. The pain of muscle fatigue for me feels good and bad at the same time.

Yes. or else why would you even grab a single weighted object. ?

Yes re: lifting weights - it did take a while though. I had to start lifting for medical reasons and the first 2 months were an absolute chore. Now you need to handcuff me to stop me going lol

What helps in my experience is ideally going with a buddy but if that's not possible, finding out what exercises you enjoy and focussing on them first. No point making it more difficult than it needs to be to start, the best workout is the one you can be consistent with. Headphones and a podcast help too

Jogging is pretty great, you're outside, running through the park, forest, watching the nature, have the time to focus on youself so how would someone not enjoy that

I do martial arts so it's a bit different, but I do really enjoy moving around and getting tired.
