Seriously Im tired of all the bullshit and tired of hearing the excuses. People are over weight, diabetes is running rampant as people get older, hell now even in kids. Heart attacks are becoming more prevalent, hypertension as well. You are putting excess stress on our health care systems because you dont want to exercise and be in shape.

The excuses run nonstop and the two famous ones are 1. Im to tired or 2. No time in the day.

Well lots of us are now in lockdown because of Covid-19, what's the excuse now? You have all the time in the world etc. Now you have this bullshit "Covid-15" the 15 pounds I will gain due to a pandemic....stop catering to these people, move your god damn ass. Lots of people I talk to "well ill prob gain 15 pound etc because im stressed, and I eat when Im stressed". You know whats helpful for stress.....exercise! Move your body. Im not saying you have to be a fuckn body builder but move, do some push ups, some wall squats, use the stairs in your house for cardio, find heavy things in or around the house to lift to hit different muscle groups.

The pathetic thing is people will always find and excuse. 5 times out of 10 I hate exercising, have to build myself up to it but when you hit that ten min peak where you got your sweat on and your hearts pumping, then you feel as if a train cant stop you.

If you can take one thing out of this annoying and horrible time in all of our lives, get in shape and do something positive for yourself, if you can walk to the fridge you're more than capable of exercising.

Nah man execise isnt a struggle, life is a struggle and you still living every day. Might as well do something healthy and positive.

Let's run a scenario of the everyday man OP

You need to go out to run since you don't have cash to buy a treadmill because you got laid off but run the risk of a cop fucking with you or catching something
Then you remember you are too depressed and start thinking about how you are going to pay the bills to even work out
live off fast food because going to store scares you and you don't want to catch something that can hurt your loved ones
you get fatter and sadder each day


YAY!

 

[Tesseract]

it's a hard time for everyone, existential perspective on resilience is whacked

people should work out tho, at least do some push ups, jog in place, walk around, dips, sit ups

embrace the prison of your mind

Why go outside for a run if you have stairs or potentially a basement or even a backyard.
You know whats great for depression, endorphins. You know how you release more of them? By exercising.
The grocery store thing I kind of get, but if your grocery stores have delivery or online orders then do that.

and realise you're not alone. Everyone is in this struggle with you. Your not the only one living pay check to pay check worried about money, the entire world has your back and we will continue to hold you up when you fall down.

now drop and give me 30

 

[Meicyn]

I do 15 pullups, 30 pushups, 20 bodyweight squats every morning before I jump in the shower. Takes like, 3 minutes tops. Just build a short, simple routine and the muscles show up on their own.

 

[Soltype]

One of the hardest things I ever did was losing weight, you have to reach that place where you want it bad enough.I can't speak for anyone else, but being big killed my sex life.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Implying they have a house, or want to run the risk of going up and down the stairs when everybody else is in lockdown.

You know whats great for depression, endorphins. You know how you release more of them? By exercising.

But your everydayman doesn't have the luxury or means to do so.

and realise you're not alone. Everyone is in this struggle with you.

It is everyone for themselves though.

Your not the only one living pay check to pay check worried about money,

What paycheck? The IRS thing? When I get it I'll believe it.

I'm just giving you examples as to why people are down and exercising is the last thing on their minds. What's worse is how we all just rolled over for China. I'm not trying to be negative on your thread or anything and I hope some people manage to make "this" work. If you told me 10 years ago, going outside was going to be a sort of luxury I would have told you to stop reading dystopian novels.

The only barrier in your way is yourself, people who want it bad enough find a way to do whatever they need to in life for some fulfillment or routine.

I mean, I can if you like.

Seriously, you do not need anything but your own body to exercise, and you can exercise anywhere. I mean, you’re probably sitting down right now in a chair and you can literally exercise from that position by lifting your lower legs into the air parallel to the floor and hold them there.

 

[TaySan]

Don't tell me what to do. I get plenty of exercise at home me thinks. I got a spinner for my wrists.

I want to see the abs of the bot man calling people fat.

 

[Grinchy]

It sucks having an exercise allergy. If I work out too hard, it makes my muscles feel all sore the next day. I also get the sweats while doing it and become dehydrated.

I'll add another unpopular twist to what OP said

Most of the reason we are in this mess is to protect the people who never exercised / took care of themselves. A lot of that heart disease and diabetes is completely avoidable.

 

[sonomamashine]

The most important thing besides exercising is nutrition.

Wha? We are in this mess because of the Chinese and fucking tourists that brought back the virus.

I lift weights everyday. Just be careful, a really intense session can dramatically reduce you're immune system.
