all about mobility

what is mobility & how is it different from flexibility?

mobility is the ability of the joints to move through their full range of motion, while flexibility is the ability of the muscles to temporarily stretch.

there are many different benefits of mobility training, including:

increased flexibility

reduced risk of injury

improving joint & muscle health

improving range of motion

improving posture

gaining muscle strength

balance & stability

reducing pain & stiffness in the body

when should i start?

now! there’s a common misconception that you shouldn’t need mobility training until you are in your later years and your mobility starts to decline, but mobility training is useful no matter your age. in fact, the sooner you start, the less mobility & joint problems you will experience as you age.

friendly fire

tf 141 x f!reader , simon x f!reader

your friends take a night on the town, and when they come upon 141 at a bar, they decide to call you up so their group of three could entertain their group of four.

Sarah giggled a little, her eyes shining with a little mischief as she and her two other friends sat at the booth that the tf141 guys were sitting at, “you know, if we had an extra girl here, then we could all pair off.”

Betsy was the one who piped up next, her head leaning against Sarah’s shoulder. She rattled off your name easily, “what about her? She should be off work?”

Sarah snorted a little, “girl, you know she doesn’t sleep around, but …,” she looked over to Simon who wasn’t paired with any of the girls yet, “maybe she could entertain him anyway,” with that in mind she took out her phone and sent you a text. Luckily, however, you were already in the area and heading home. Unlike your friends, you took up a life in the military and you just got back from deployment. Though, when you got the text you immediately groaned. Your friends always do this. They go ut and party and then make you tag along to either make you drive them home or to make sure the guys they are with are secretly serial killers. And the guys they would find were always a little off too, you suggested that they look for some in the military if they are interested in a one night stand, but they always decline.

You sent her a text saying that you were still in tactical gear and were tired.

Sarah was quick to reply and beg you to just swing by, and that the guys they were with were a group of four.

She knew you didn’t sleep around, but she still insisted that you could at least entertain the man.

Which, of course, made you groan again. Anytime you need to entertain the extra guy in a group of four, you find that you never have anything in common. Sure you could probably, hopefully, talk about workout routines or thoughts on where country conflicts are going, but since they aren’t military… its hard to find a common ground.

You sent a reply saying ‘fine.’

You hoped your surprise date, whoever he is, doesn’t mind the camo pants and a bullet proof vest.

Finding the bar was easy as you made your way inside. Your eyes scanning the room quick as you mentally took note of the drunks, the pervs, and the ones who may be safe but may actually have hidden agendas before finding your three friends and making your way over. And to your surprise, you recognized them even though they weren’t in uniform. Did your friends know these guys were military? Because you knew they never did-

“Y/n!”

You gave a small smile and took the open seat that just so happened to be next to your Lieutenant.

“I’m literally so happy you could make it! These guys are-“

You shook your head and cut her off, “I know them already.”

“What-? How?!”

You deadpanned, a soft sigh leaving your lips, “I work with them…? And I’m pretty sure I covered Kyle’s back at least twice already,” you then looked over to Pirce, “Captain.”

You weren’t part of 141, but you had enough joint operations that you knew the group pretty well… only at work of course, you didn’t know them at all outside of it. Price rattled off your callsign as he greeted you, “just got back from deployment?”

“Yes, sir. Had some headaches here and there, but we got shit done like any other day.”

As you finally relaxed within the group, conversation seemed to flow easy between you all along with the shock of them being military finally leaving your frineds’ minds.

“Lieutenant,” you greeted as each of your friends filtered to the man they wanted to “entertain” for the night. It was pretty obvious to you on who were you asked to keep company with.

“Simon’s fine,” he said before bringing his drink up to his lips to take a swig. Calling him that definitely seemed wrong, especially if he didn’t even want you to call him Ghost, but you figured that it was fine. Not to mention that it was weird seeming him without his mask, in fact, you were sure this was the first time for you to see his full face. And people outside of work just get to look at him like this? You noticed the mask on the table. Ok, maybe he only takes its off when he’s drinking, but still – that’s more face time they get more than you do.

“Right, Simon,” you said, “tell me, did my friends bombard your table, or were they invited over?”

“A mixture of both.”

You raised an eyebrow.

“Soap went to the bar, and then your friends attacked.”

“Ah… so an infiltration tactic.”

You didn’t notice the slight quirk of his lips, but his teammates sure did. Yes, they were supposed to be talking with the pretty girls on their arms, but they couldn’t help but to look at how easily you disarmed their Lieutenant.

Maybe it was time to finally get another member added to the team.

Previous weight: 126.8 lbs

Morning weight: 31/25 - 127.4

Gain: .6 lbs

😭😭😭

At least it wasn't a whole pound but If I lose and gain nearly the same amount one more time imma have to head out🚶‍♂️

Yesterdays Workout: Thought I should start including specific workouts I did. I'm on mobile so idk if there's a way so that the link just shows instead of a whole video player but this'll do for now. I would not consider the first video beginner friendly, but the second one is easier I think. Not joint or apartment friendly.

Todays workout: HIIT as always. I've started to hate running again, but I believe I need to start doing it again for at least 30 minutes. Maybe some light strength/resistance training too.

Additional thoughts: Thinking of fasting even on the days I work. I work a warehouse job, so its very physical but I still like to fast or restrict on those days. The only times I've ever felt tired or weak was a year ago when I was purging everyday. There were times I was dozing off standing upright which how does that even happen. But anyways I'd dont think I'm particularly at risk if I allow myself to have like low calorie drinks or something.

Gym Buddies [ Ryujin X Reader ]

Ryujin, a famous idol known for her beauty and charisma, unexpectedly falls for a gym-goer with a cute personality and a gorgeous body. As they become workout partners, Ryujin's admiration for her new friend deepens.

GENRE : Fluff

TYPE : One Shot, All Gender

Ryujin was used to the spotlight. As a famous idol, she had fans who adored her from all corners of the world. With her striking looks and charismatic presence, she was undoubtedly one of the hottest celebrities around. But little did she know that her world was about to change when she encountered you, a seemingly ordinary person who possessed a special charm.

It all started one sunny morning at the local gym. Ryujin had always been a fitness enthusiast, and she rarely missed her workouts. On this particular day, she arrived at the gym, dressed in stylish activewear that showcased her enviable curves and toned physique. Her presence turned heads as usual, but what caught her attention was you, a regular gym-goer who had a cute personality and a gorgeous body that was hard to ignore.

As Ryujin began her workout routine, she couldn't help but steal glances at you. Your dedication to your exercises was admirable, and your friendly demeanor was infectious. It was as if your presence had a magnetic pull on her, slowly breaking down the walls she had built around herself as a celebrity.

Over the next few weeks, Ryujin and you found yourselves working out together more often than not. It started with a casual conversation about your workout routines, and before they knew it, you were inseparable gym buddies. Ryujin was amazed by your strength and determination, and she couldn't help but admire you from afar.

One day, she mustered up the courage to ask you if you'd like to work out together. Your eyes lit up with excitement as you agreed, and from that moment on, your gym sessions became a joint endeavor. Ryujin, who was used to being the center of attention, found solace in the fact that you treated her like any other person.

As the days turned into weeks, your bond deepened. Ryujin was drawn to your cute personality, and she found herself sharing her thoughts and dreams with you. She realized that she could be her true self around you, without the need for the mask of a famous idol. And you, in turn, were enamored by her kindness and down-to-earth nature.

Ryujin had always been known for her fashion sense, and she loved buying clothes that accentuated her curves and muscles. However, she discovered a newfound joy in helping you pick out stylish workout gear. You were surprised by her willingness to help, but Ryujin insisted that it was her way of showing appreciation for your friendship.

Shopping trips with Ryujin became a regular occurrence. She would carefully select outfits that she thought would enhance your natural beauty. The two of you would spend hours in boutiques, trying on different styles and laughing together. It was during these moments that Ryujin realized she had fallen for you, not just as a workout partner but as something more.

Ryujin was not just a gym buddy; she had become your confidante and best friend. She had a unique way of making you feel special, both inside and out. She showered you with compliments, reminding you of your beauty and worth. She called you her baby, a term of endearment that made your heart skip a beat.

Whenever you faced criticism or negativity from others, Ryujin was there to lift you up. She would hold you close and reassure you that their words didn't matter. She reminded you that you were strong, beautiful, and deserving of all the love in the world. With her by your side, you felt invincible.

Ryujin couldn't contain her feelings any longer. She had fallen deeply in love with you, and it was evident to everyone around her. She would brag about you to her fellow idols and the staff, proudly declaring that she had the most loving and protective girlfriend in the world.

One evening, as you both sat on the rooftop of her apartment building, watching the city lights twinkle below, Ryujin couldn't hold back any longer. With a nervous yet determined smile, she took your hand and looked into your eyes.

"Y/N," she began, her voice trembling with emotion, "I can't imagine my life without you. You've brought so much happiness and love into my world. Will you be mine, officially? Will you be mine?"

Tears welled up in your eyes as you nodded, your heart overflowing with joy. In that moment, under the starry night sky, Ryujin leaned in, and your lips met in a sweet, passionate kiss.

From that day forward, your love story with Ryujin continued to blossom. You were no longer just gym buddies but soulmates who shared a deep and unbreakable bond. Your relationship was a testament to the power of love and how it could break through the barriers of fame and fortune.

And as you held hands and walked through life together, you both knew that your love story was the most beautiful adventure you had ever embarked upon. Ryujin, the hot idol, and you, the one who had the ability to make her mask crumble with your cute personality and gorgeous body, were destined to create a love story for the ages, one that would be cherished forever.

HIIT Workout: Should I Start with HIIT or Cardio?

HIIT vs. Cardio: Which Is Right for You?

When it comes to achieving fitness goals, many people find themselves debating between High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and steady-state cardio. Both forms of exercise offer unique benefits, but which one is better depends on your goals, fitness level, and preferences. This article will explore the differences, benefits, and when to choose each method to help you decide.

What is HIIT?

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) involves alternating short bursts of intense exercise with brief periods of rest or low-intensity activity. For example, you might sprint for 30 seconds, then walk for 60 seconds, repeating this cycle for 20-30 minutes.

Benefits of HIIT:

Time-Efficient: HIIT delivers significant results in less time compared to steady cardio.

Boosts Metabolism: It elevates your metabolic rate for hours after a workout, promoting fat burning.

Preserves Muscle Mass: HIIT primarily targets fat while maintaining lean muscle tissue.

Improves Cardiovascular Fitness: It increases both anaerobic and aerobic endurance.

Citation: A 2011 study in the Journal of Obesity found that HIIT is highly effective in reducing abdominal fat and improving overall cardiovascular health.

What is Cardio?

Steady-state cardio involves maintaining a consistent pace and intensity for a prolonged period, such as jogging, cycling, or swimming. Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes and keep your heart rate at a moderate level.

Benefits of Cardio:

Improves Endurance: It's ideal for building long-term stamina and aerobic capacity.

Supports Heart Health: Cardio strengthens the heart, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Burns Calories: While not as intense as HIIT, cardio is effective for weight management.

Stress Relief: It can lower stress and improve mental health through steady, rhythmic activity.

Citation: According to the American Heart Association, steady-state cardio reduces the risk of heart disease and improves overall cardiovascular function.

HIIT vs. Cardio: A Comparison

Feature HIIT Cardio Time Commitment Short (15-30 minutes) Longer (30-60 minutes) Calorie Burn Higher in less time Lower but steady Fat Loss Highly effective, especially post-workout Effective over time Muscle Preservation Preserves lean muscle May lead to muscle loss with excessive duration Fitness Level Intermediate to advanced Beginner-friendly Impact on Joints High impact, can strain joints Lower impact, joint-friendly options available

Which is Better for Your Goals?

Weight Loss:

HIIT is more efficient for burning calories and boosting metabolism, especially if you’re short on time. However, combining both methods can offer sustained fat loss.

Improving Stamina:

Cardio is better suited for building endurance and improving aerobic capacity over time.

Building Muscle:

HIIT preserves and may even help build muscle due to its high-intensity nature, whereas excessive cardio might lead to muscle loss.

Overall Health:

Both forms are beneficial for cardiovascular health, but cardio is generally more accessible and less stressful for beginners or those with joint concerns.

When to Choose HIIT or Cardio

Choose HIIT if:

You’re short on time.

You want to burn fat quickly.

You’re looking to improve strength and power.

Choose Cardio if:

You prefer a low-intensity, steady workout.

You’re training for endurance events like a marathon.

You’re a beginner or have joint issues.

Can You Combine HIIT and Cardio?

Absolutely! Incorporating both methods into your routine provides variety and balances endurance with strength. For example:

Do 2-3 HIIT sessions per week for fat-burning and metabolic benefits.

Include 1-2 steady-state cardio sessions for endurance and recovery.

Conclusion

HIIT and cardio both have their place in a well-rounded fitness program. HIIT is excellent for those seeking quick, efficient results, while steady-state cardio offers endurance and long-term health benefits. Understanding your goals, fitness level, and preferences will help you choose the best approach—or combine the two for optimal results.

Cinderella's Resort Part 11

Miranda woke up to the sound of moaning. She opened her eyes and saw that the porn from last night was still flashing on the screen. Six girls in a knot sucking and spitting on eachother's toes, and moaning like they were in pure ecstasy. Miranda couldn't help but roll her eyes, so performative, she couldn't believe she fell asleep to this filth. She and Gale, not the Gale who was still missing the other Gale. Two girls named Gale! Wow! What an oversight!

She and Gale had said they'd watch a minute or two as a joke. But something about the staticy T.V just lulled her to sleep. She was still wearing her workout clothes, and makeup.

She and Gale Turned the T.V off, and the sound of sucking thankfully dissipated. They spent about an hour going about their morning routines, and were just about ready to head out and meet up with the rest of the team.

Miranda sat on her bed, and bent down to pick up her shoe. She held it in her hand and felt goosepricks radiate up her arm and down her back, with the shoe as the source. It was just a plain white shoe, with navy stripes on the side, but there was something kind of exciting about it. Miranda tilted her head in confusion, she'd never really had feelings about a shoe before and now there was something swirling inside of her that she couldn't figure.

"Did you see when the dad came in the babysitter's shoe, and she like... walked home in it?" Gale asked from her side of the room. She was staring at Miranda with a blush.

"I thought you were asleep during that one." Miranda said vaguely.

"It's weird." Gale said breathily. "But I think it would be kind of hot."

Thoughts came to Miranda unbidden. Some guy, no particular guy, no guy at all, but someone, with this shoe in their hand. Fingers wrapped around a fat shaft, Maybe her fingers, maybe big man fingers, either way, stroking it. Purple head, swelling a stream of white cum filling her shoes with thick fat ropes of cum. And then her just before a game, sliding her feet inside. She could feel the cum absorbing into her socks, sticking to her feet. That quicky squishy texture with every step she took. It'd be so distracting. It's all she could think about during the game, so they lose. Because the team without their captain really isn't a team at all. They lose, are out for the season, it's all her fault, she loses her scholarship and had to drop out of college.

All because she let some guy, some nobody guy perv out.

THAT was kind of hot.

The thought of running her life for... just some guy.

Then she has to give up get, married, let him get her pregnant. She stays at home, totally dependent on him, the guy who ruined her life. And he still makes her walk around in cum filled shoes. No lessons learned there.

That was kind of hot.

It'd be kind of hot to let some guy ruin her life.

"Yeaaaah." She said slowly.

Miranda slid her shoes on expecting a squish, but feeling nothing, and then dissapointment.

She shook her head of the porn, and fantasies and left with Gale in toe... tow. Fuck!

Outside, their friendly neighbors were smoking joints, and cackling. "Well howdy there." Jeanshorts beamed with her dumb gap toothed, buck tooth smile. "Rise and shine city girls."

"Hey." Gale said politely.

"Hope we didn't keep ya'll up last night." Catsuit said, throwing her foot up on the rail, and stretching like a ballerina. "My gurl gets loud when I break out the bronco."

"Ugh gross." Miranda rolled her eyes. "We didn't hear anything."

"Well did ya see us?" She pressed. "On the T.V? I heard that playing on your side ALL night! That stuff is better than whale songs, ya know! Lol and I ain't talkin' bout Boozy Floozy's new album neither!"

"What the fuck are you even saying?" Miranda hated these two.

"Did you catch our show on the telly." Jeanshorts said, butchering a British accent.

"Oh!" Gale's eyes lit up. "I knew they looked familiar. We did see a video with ya'll... I mean you in it. Last night."

"Yup!" Jeanshorts crooned. "We's got on primetime!"

Suddenly Miranda recalled a video where a girl who looked like Jeanshorts was holding her feet up while a girl who looked like Catsuit fucked them with a horse shaped strap-on. "Oh great!" She felt sick. How many videos did they end up watching.

"Thanks!" Catsuit licked the neck of her friend and giggled. "We been tryin' real hard ever since our car broke down, to get on there! Good to know skinny girls are still good for somethin'!"

"Wait..." Gale tried to machete her way through all the grossness. "You guys aren't from here?"

"Naw." Jeanshorts giggled and pushed her friend away. "We's just stayin' here till' our like... um car gets fixed n' shit."

"How long as that been."

The two looked at each other, and started whispering and counting on fingers they needed both sets of hands to figure it out. "Like two months?"

"What the fuck, did it explode?" Miranda balked.

"Flat tire!" Jeanshorts giggled. "But it's a foreign car." She blushed in shame at that. "So ya know... gotta ship that dang tire in from Hamburg..."

"Mmmm Hamburger." Catsuit giggled.

"Oh em gee, you are such a slut!" Jeanshorts cackled, and squeezed her friend's boobies. "Any who." She nodded her head over to the parking lot. "Looks like they treatin' ya'll good! They brought the spa in and erry thang!"

In the parking lot was a beat up camper with the words "Cinderella's Magic Spa!" Spray painted to the side of it, along with another picture of a foot. "Shit I member when we gots our turn in there." Catsuit huffed on a joint. "I'm still unwound, lol, like... lol!"

"That's the spa?" Miranda groaned. "Fuck you Travis." She was going to skin that little nerd when she saw him.

Jeanshorts flicked her joint into the parking lot and belched. "Well we're gonna go sneak ourselves a trip to the spa, hope to see ya'll there neighbors!"

Catsuit winced, farted, and stuck what was left of her joint in Gale's mouth. "I just can't stop thinking of all the fun we's can have together." She ran a painted nail lovingly across Gale's chin, and walked off with her arm around Jeanshorts.

"What a couple of freaks." Miranda shook her head.

"Yeah." Gale scoffed and let the join fall from her lips.

They both watched the two bimbos trot off, their looks of contempt disguised the interest with which they gazed at the bimbos bare feet. Especially the dirty soles as they flashed every step of the way.

THEE athletic trainer Iwaizumi

Trainer!Iwaizumi still works out, after high school. He tests out each workout and advice he's doling out to the team, because he believes that's the best method as an athletic trainer.

Trainer!Iwaizumi still keeps up with his volleyball skills, so that he's still in tune with the movements of muscles and joints it takes for the players. So that he can easily make adjustments to exercise and diet regimens after discussion with the coach.

Trainer!Iwaizumi who easily shuts up his pro-player friends when they tease him about his retirement from volleyball. Smashing a thundering spike from the sidelines after a surprise serve during a rec game between former Aoba Johsai v Karasuno players. Walking back to his clipboard on the bench with a smirk and telling them to continue so he can finish his notes on better muscle training regimens.

Trainer!Iwaizumi who's in the gym an hour earlier than the team. His arms and legs glistening from a half completed workout, before he comments that he'll do a cooled down version of his routine now that the team needs his focus. Wiping down and adjusting the machines, but not before Bokuto see that's his trainer is benching more than him.

Trainer!Iwaizumi who the Japanese National Team's coach trusts like his right hand man. Going over strategy and routine options prior to games with him. The coach asking him for his player's perspective when watching the team dry run sets.

Trainer!Iwaizumi who's the undefeated thigh wrestling champion during training camps. Every time one of the Jackal players gets loud and bold with the "friendly" bets during downtime, all Iwaizumi has to do is take a seat in the chair and a silence falls in the room. Ushijima and Aran both glancing at each other as the other National Team players are pushing them to compete. Both commencing an intense rock, paper, scissors to see who's going to be the one to be getting their ass handed by playing against him.

hii <3 i absolutely love all your workout posts soo soo much <3 thank u for them ! i just had a request if you could make a post about a weekly plan for beginners ? like someone who's just recently starting exercising for weight loss and overall health as a student who's prepping for a national exam , ive spent the entirety of 2024 on my desk , its caused me back issues , weight gain , joint pain and more , now that i finally have time i'd love to feel healthy and strong again <3 it would be a huge huge help if you post it <33 thank u a million times

hi lovely! i’m so glad my posts have helped you. most of the videos i’m going to be posting in the near future are likely going to be beginner friendly because i have had a flare up of inflammation in my shoulder, so i will not be going too hard for a bit. the videos that will work for you will vary from mine and anyone else’s, so the actual videos you do are really up to you and how you’re feeling day to day. however, i can suggest a split for you to try and give you some tips and channel recommendations!

split:

monday: full body strength

- if you have joint issues, strength training can definitely help with that! just make sure that you are doing low-impact exercises to keep pressure off of your joints. madfit and heather robertson have a lot of these types of videos, both with equipment and without! you can also do pilates for this if you feel it will benefit you better, and i have a beginner pilates routine masterlist posted.

tuesday: cardio & mobility

- same as monday, just be sure that you are doing low-impact exercises for cardio. i have a masterlist for cardio routines as well in case you need some recommendations. for mobility, i recommend heather robertson and julia.reppel on youtube. mobility is great for improving joint health!

wednesday: lower body

- you can really do any form of strength training here, with or without weights, pilates, etc. i have a lower body masterlist up as well, but i would recommend trying some mat/lying workouts to build up some muscle before moving into more intense exercises for lower body day. i have a couple of those masterlists posted as well!

thursday: active recovery

- this can include so many things, including mobility, stretching, yoga, walking, or anything else you can do that is gentle on your body. again, i love heather robertson’s active recovery routines.

friday: upper body

- if you have joint issues in your upper body, i would be gentle on upper body days, meaning just don’t push yourself too hard and if a movement doesn’t feel good or causes you pain, stop. emi wong and hailey c. have great upper body workouts that do not require any equipment.

saturday: cardio & core work

- same thing with the low-impact cardio. core work has so many benefits and is great for stabilizing your spine and, in turn, reducing the risk of injury to your joints. madfit has a lot of ab workouts, but you can really find them on any workout channel you like!

sunday: rest or active recovery

NOTE: please make sure, especially if you’re a beginner, that you are stretching after each workout! this will reduce soreness and risk of injury.
