When I’m 2 days without jiu jitsu I’m like “why am I lethargic, and sad, and aimless, and anxious, and also the walls are closing in on me?”

Have you been spying on me for the last two months

BJJ is so fun I rally want to start doing it again

johnrudolphdrexler.com•234 days ago

First thing in the morning, there's a scary dude trying to murder me. What could be more healing than that?

I had a free trial of Apple Fitness+ this summer; I felt so much better after working out that I’ve been doing it every day since.

I see people say this often, but… I've started working with a trainer recently and I find that on days that I exercise it just feels like I've expended some % of that day's available energy 😭

I'm so jealous of folks who get a boost from it!

joe.codes•234 days ago

Working with a trainer is, imo, quite different than just going on a run. They push you *so* much harder than I would just push myself, so I'm pretty gutted after a trainer session.

Today was just a breezy lil run, just got the blood pumping

Shocking but true. More of these "run" experiments required to get to the bottom of this.

joe.codes•234 days ago

The data is certainly inconclusive, I'll keep the community posted

Wary at best

Started running again in May and yeah, it makes a huge difference.

I started running at the beginning of the year and felt so much better mentally and physically. Then I got overconfident, started skateboarding again, fell and haven't been able to do any sport for 12 weeks. I haven't felt this bad for a long time 😔

joe.codes•234 days ago

Ah man, that's rough, I'm so sorry 😔

Hopefully you heal up soon and are able to get back on the horse!

handle.invalid•234 days ago

Thanks man, I will! Can’t stop, won’t stop 😀

There’s no better way to start a day. There’s also no better way to reset a day that’s not going your way.

joe.codes•234 days ago

10000%, I love a little run to start the day. I typically do a short one most mornings, but I really fell out of the habit. Trying to get back in the rhythm!

You're legs will let you know tomorrow :-)

Went for a 6k run yesterday, first in about 3 months... and I'm feeling it!

joe.codes•234 days ago

6k! Good for you! I just did a little 2 mile trot this morning just to get these old bones moving, but I'm sure they'll be barking a bit tomorrow since it's been a while.

tfevens.bsky.social•234 days ago

My wife and I ran a half marathon 2 years ago - and in the 24 months that have passed, we've ran less than twice a month. So, a long road back to that distance, but we'd both like to do it again!

simonhamp.me•234 days ago

Dude, no, stop

I went to the gym yesterday - I feel both great and ded in equal measure

💪🏼 💀 🤜🏼

joe.codes•234 days ago

Ok I'm stopping I'm stopping

Phew that was close

svenluijten.com•234 days ago

Yeah it’s crazy how quickly I notice the mental and physical benefits of going to the gym.

Before: “Meh, I don’t feel like it, I’ll just do a quick workout”

*does a 90-minute workout*

After: “Holy shit that felt great! I feel like I can take on the world!!!”

joe.codes•234 days ago

Absolutely. When I haven't done it in a while I forget how much impact it has. Feel like I could run through a wall right now.
