I’m only doing beginner Pilates three times a week, but I can tell it’s actually doing something. My core is much stronger than when I started two months ago and I can make it through a twenty minute session with no breaks to recover and no need to skip anything.
I only started this because Pilates mat was one of the few exercise routines I could do mostly on my back mostly without badly loading my injured elbow or ankle. I started stationary cycling for the same reason. But the strengthening effect has been good, and at a gradual level I can cope with, not so strenuous that I hate it and get put off
There’s a real mental benefit to not pushing yourself too hard - it keeps things more enjoyable, rather than fostering dread. And I’m finding the benefits are there just the same
#my exercise#I used to always go hard#now I go hard enough but don’t feel bad if I ease off because it’s a long game not a race

while i was trying to wade through the large amounts of people trying to leave the central subway station, everyone abruptly came to a halt in front of the subway turnstiles. two french girls had misunderstood the tap-out process, and one of them was now stuck behind the gate. as i was wracking my brain on how to explain the tap-in tap-out process of the milan metro to both of them with my rudimentary french while they both got increasingly upset at the closed gate between them, a young teenager suddenly pushed me to the side.
i was just about to give him my most scathing disgruntled glare when he took out his ticket and, after realizing they had no common language, started gesticulating wildly in front of the french girl left behind. he pointed at the ticket, then at her, and very seriously said: “on three, we go.” she nodded, and after he counted to three, holding up his fingers so there could be no confusion, they sprinted through the gate together, giggling profusely afterwards as if they had just pulled off the heist of the century,
it was just a small moment during the morning commute. but i realized then and there that the time i had spent trying to intellectualize the problem and wondering if my lack of language skills would be awkward the situation could have already been resolved. and that while i had been mad about being pushed aside, the teenager got it exactly right: no questions, no fear or shyness, just direct action to help where you can and rushing there to do so. i think about him every time now when i run to lift someone’s pram or ask a lost looking person if they need my help despite the fear of being rude. on three, we go.
#i have started to not use my headphones on my commute and the abundance of#beautiful happenstances it has brought to me conversations held overheard interactions i have had#it grounds me in the right there right now more than any mindfullness exercise#ON THREE WE GO!

The post-run yoga I did today was very surprising, in that I had never done/seen some of those poses before and I realised I had forgotten how impactful yoga is in its slowness, stillness and softness. I was drenched in a sweat for the second time this morning, at times my arms gave out but it was incredibly fulfilling.

My darlings, my loves, my fellow weirdos, I am begging you all to REST after you have covid.

I know it is very hard, and our society asks you to get back up and running at full speed as soon as possible, before you’re even done testing positive even.
But please my friends, please rest.

If you push too hard too fast you might be sicker for longer, you might be doing long lasting damage to yourself.

So please my beautiful nerds, take care of yourselves and REST.
#covid rant#covid isn't over#sorry to bring more bummer energy to what was supposed to be my place to not be a bummer#but I guess I gotta rant about covid everywhere I go#also mask up!!! wear an n95!!!#protect yourself and your community#exercise is not the best medicine#god bless covid Twitter

trigunned the hades or hadesed the trigun (id in alt)
#trigun#trigun maximum#nicholas d wolfwood#vash the stampede#meryl stryfe#milly thompson#millions knives#ruporas art#type of shit ive been on lately bc ive been playing an obsessive amount of hades 2 lmfao… ofc imstead of drawing fansrt for hades#i channel that energy into trigun?😭 SEE.. the thing is. i am ALWAYS thinking about a trigun game… like an action story game#it is rotating in my brain 24/7 and now after 7billion years i finally pick up a video game#and the inspiration sparked. obviously this is just a mere mimic of an existing media... but im thinking about the plot of max now#executed differently between mediums… webbing a new retelling of the original story as game mechanics allows you - thinking of the#new roles the characters would take. like wolfwood here is not Constantly by vash’s side but he will show up once a run to clear out an#encounter. shows up seldomly at home base to make gifting difficult... an existing companion and still journeys on his own. for more#relations options merylmilly will also have occasions where they separate so vash can speak to them individually - the gungho are not bosse#most of them get the roles of giving “boons” i think.. BUT ANYWAY thats me reimagining trigun into hades. now imagining trigun into an#ORIGINAL video game.... ough... ohhh....guhh... I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!!!!#this was just a fun exercise... im thinking about doing more but i think i shouldactually draw some hades 2 fanart first

I sweat much more while doing Pilates than being outside in 38°C weather. During Pilates I’m dripping enough to fill buckets, the sweat falls like tears into my eyes and onto the mat, it’s just crazy!
