A place where comrades can

(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

Rule:

Approach every conversation in good faith.

This week has been so humid it's not even funny. It wasn't even that hot, like 26 degrees max or something. But the 80% humidity slapped me in the face. Every movement I did made me sticky.

Anyway, it hasn't stopped me from going at it. I did my strength exercises and my runs, and I'm starting to look more muscular than when I started after my three week holiday.

I did have a problem with fatigue this week. Despite eating and getting my macro's in, my body struggles to repair itself. I even didn't feel like working out at one point. I'm glad I did, though.

Anyone else experienced this before? And do you have any tips to combat it, maybe?

Despite the heat, I got on the treadmill a couple times this week, so I'm proud of myself. I did some interval training with incline walking and running, but for less time than I would have liked to, because of the heat. I'm doing this thing where I don't push myself so much that I'll dread coming back, I make exercise as much fun as possible and that still includes getting tired and sweating!
