Lying to yourself isn’t really lying is it?

NO

RIGHT NOW

RIGHT THIS SECOND

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE

STAND UP AND STRETCH

TOUCH THE FLOOR, THEN THE CEILING

DO IT AGAIN, AT LEAST 10 TIMES

ONE DAY YOU WILL WAKE UP AND DISCOVER YOUR BODY IS INCAPABLE OF THIS AND IT WILL DESTROY YOU MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. THE DESTRUCTION YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW CAN ALWAYS FEEL WORSE, AND IT WILL BE INFINITELY SO IF A SEDENTARY LIFE DISABLES YOU

SO STAND THE FUCK UP AND DO THOSE FUCKING SQUATS

WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

I don’t know what inspired you to write this, but thank you. It has been over a year and a half since I’ve exercised in any real capacity. Todays plan was to do it today. As the day progressed it kept getting easier and easier to justify doing it tomorrow.

After reading this post it motivated me to push through the excuses and get on the stationary cycle. Thank you.
- fr fam, it's fear >_>;
  
  and the agony of lived experience
  
  This year was a close call for me. I'm only JUST BARELY managing to get my life back on track.
  
  It is precisely that alarm going off that got me to take the steps I've been needing to take.
  
  This is the message I needed to receive years ago so when I see an opportunity to echo it, I do.
I like you, can you just send this to me at random times
- I've set a calendar notice :3
- Do we have a remindmebot equivalent here on Lemmy?
Started running and doing kettlebell workouts on days interchangeably about a week ago because I'm broke. I'm slowly upping the amount of distance I'm running and the length of my excercises.

I've been exhausted for about a week, but I feel so much more active and confident.

Get your fuckin asses moving. >:(
- It’s good to start slow enough that you don’t feel tired after a workout if you’re a beginner, so you don’t burn out or injure yourself.
  
  The ideal for me is when I finish a run and still feel like I could go on, that makes me look forward to the next run, but I always take at least a day off between runs. It’s good to also do strength exercises on those off days, as long as you don’t over do it.

It takes half an hour to an hour. If you want to lose weight then cut calories.

I have major depression. I've learned to hack it in various ways by, not exactly lying, but by making logical arguments that appeal to it.

I do 4 high intensity, 2 hour workouts a week like clockwork, just by reminding myself that I have a significant family history of sudden cardiac deaths, and that my greatest hope for escape from the pain of life, because I'm too much of a coward to do it directly, is to simply make my heart go boom.

Every workout is a lottery ticket to my problems being over! And bonus points, if I die doing cardio, my death wasn't embarrassing! "Look at him, dying on the stair machine, what a go getter!"

I honestly can't tell if this is more healthy than unhealthy lol
- Neither can I, which is why it works.
  
  Unhealthy means for healthy ends. Its literally worked for a decade though.
That's actually a pretty big brain strategy on the path to the coveted quick and sudden death.

If you're on the edge right now - do it! Taking care of my body and diet was the best decision of my life.

This is why I always exercise first thing. If you wait until you "have time" later, it will never happen.

Yeeep. Every morning, I eat a light snack and just go. Don't even bother waiting.
Some people can do it later, but would never be able to if it was earlier.

Squats are life.

They're called Leagues of Votann now
I started doing squats for vanity.. cus u know butt...

Thats been going gud looks more toned but not the shape I want so I started doing other exercises for butt like bridges and lunges and fire hydrant. Can confirm squats are a gateway drug.
