Getting up and #exercising once a day for an hour is great, but if you spend the rest of your day sitting, those benefits decrease. Being #sedentary for hours, whether it's during the long #commute or at a desk, can impact how well the #immunesystem works, leaving you prone to #inflammation. Increasing #physical activity during the day improves #circulation and enhances #immunefunction. Simple activities such as #standing during #phonecalls and taking a #walk and #lunch can make a difference.

Been taking #creatine monohydrate powder for about 3 weeks now. I often have a lot of #pain when #exercising, both just access muscle soreness & what feels like #jointPain. I tried creatine blend tablets earlier this year, but it was only 3.5g & no loading phase.

This time i have micronized powder, & I'm loading with 15-20g/day for about 1.5 months, then maintenance at 5g/day. Already I'm noticing far less pain, better stamina, shorter recovery times, & more enjoyment from #workingOut!! 🤯

If there are people here who live in Manassas virginia, I highly recommend going to the gym called work out now. The Staff are super nice and accommodating, the machines are very comfortable and they even have massage chairs. 100% recommended. They just opened up this week, and were very nice about accommodating me with my blindness. They not only gave me a private tour, they helped me figure out how the machines work, and BTW, they all have tactile buttons, but they also showed me red light therapy and their other services as well. Memberships are $35 a month. The owner, Jenn will work with you. Let her know the blind guy named nick recommended you. #Gyms, #Exercising, #Business, #Manassas, #Blind

In 2012 I was 43, and my #weight was just shy of 130kg. I felt like crap, and couldn't keep up with my kid playing kiddy football. I decided to do something about it, started #C25K and a #diet , and by June 2014, I was down to 92kg and was #running 5km three times a week and was well on my way to doing 10km.

Then life threw a curveball and I couldn't #run any more.

And in 2019 I was back to 125kg and was diagnosed with #diabetesT2.

And I started #C25K again, and was back to running 5km a couple of times a week, and was down to about 100kg.

And life threw another curveball, and I couldn't run again. I didn't know it then but my #coeliac gene had activated due to the trauma that stopped me running, and I felt bloody awful. And yup, I ballooned back to ~120kg again. Several utterly useless doctors later "Lose weight and exercise more" "I can barely get off the couch, I am exhausted just walking from the waiting room to your office" "Here's an exercise program" a good #doctor found severe #anaemia as well as #bloating and #JointInflammation and asked why? and I was diagnosed as a #coeliac in November 2023.

I stopped eating #gluten and I slowly lost the feeling of being the walking dead and I started feeling alive again. Very slowly the weight dropped. And I rediscovered the joy of #moving my #body.

Today, I am #55yo , 97kg, and just did this on the #exercise bike, which is 5 minutes longer than when I started a few weeks ago. I'm #purposefully #exercising again.

Will I #run again? Probably not - the #knees and #hips are not what they once were - but I've found that #dancing to #livemusic is great #aerobic #exercise and am happy to hop on the #StationaryBike to make sure I can cope with 2 hours of thrashing it out to #IronMaiden next month. A girl has to have #goals. It's no longer about my #weight or how I #look, it's because #life is short, and I want to #live it.

Dear Friends of #New,🫠
I #notice social media #changes my mind, #buddhas and sole [yum] eg:
- I have little time or interest in North America
- Little Britannia is melting, just like in #OZ
- Click bait #= Social Media, #tsk #tsk
And in that sprat/#Spirit we went for a #walk in the #Urban #freeze. I really #enjoyed that #worthwhile time. I must conclude after #meditating, #contemplating and #exercising my noodle, that being #free is an #internal/eternal and unsocial madia is just #recycling opinions …🫠
