Exercise & Fitness: it’s a marathon, not a sprint
Paladin of Ice replied to Iskaral Pust's topic in General Chatter
In the last week and a half or so I've been hitting the gym for the virtually the first time since the pandemic began, aside from a couple of sessions in the summer of '21, right before the Delta variant started kicking all our asses. I knew I'd lose a lot of muscle performance from being out of commission that long, and especially after spending the last few months mostly sedentary (it was another story when I was running specimens across the street and up three flights of steps a dozen times a day at my old job), and it's not like I was at the top of my game back in early 2020 either, but I did not expect to be set back as far as I was. Not only am I nowhere near where I was on various weights and such, but my cardio is also a shadow of its former self. I was apparently one of the rare freaks who actually liked cardio (so many people I knew always bitched about it), at least on a good elliptical machine when I got in the rhythm and had the right music urging me along. Every time so far I've fallen short of my cardio goals and simply had to stop at some point because I couldn't go on. On the plus side I can already feel a difference in how clothing fits and some exercises I was recommended years ago by a doctor who was also a big fitness guy have already cut down significantly on pain in my knee. Looking forward to hitting it again in a few hours. -
If people bring so much courage to this world, the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave all impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry. Ernest Hemmingway, A Farewell To Arms
