New research finds that certain personality traits are correlated to sports that people enjoy doing. Since it is useful to nudge people to exercise, this can be useful information, because people are more likely to take up and even more importantly to continue a sport in the long run when they enjoy it.

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!! 🤯

I've started #exercising at the #gym, THROUGH THE PAIN - that is not the strain on my muscles, but the actual issues I'm dealing with.

It's gotten to a point where I have to perfectly align my gym time and OMAD daily to exert myself properly.

This is because love handles and belly trimming IS HARD. LIKE COME ON! I should've done this in my 20s because of the prime metabolic function of my body, but instead I have to do it the hard way.

Any tips on sidefat and belly fat trimming #cardio?

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. #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.

As long as I don't mess up tomorrow I exercised everyday this week! Two days on the stationary bike, one walk, a body weight exercise workout, and two band workouts (after I found them in the hall closet). My muscles are sore so I think tomorrow will be another morning walk. I think this mini heat wave is finally done. Tonight we'll get the windows opened back up.
