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.

Currently doing Dry January as I usually do after New Year's. Maybe I'll do it for longer now, maybe not.

I also want to train for a marathon this year. Not sure which, but it would be nice to see if I could do it. The first test will be a ten miles in april and I'll see where it goes.

Maybe I'll do a physical exam somewhere soon to see what's going on in my body. I'm not having any problems but I'm curious if things will come up.

What about you?

Nice, u got plenty of time then.

Sprint interval training is where instead of running for 30+ mins at like 60% , you go at max for like 15-20s, then do walk cool-down, for 2-4m. There's some evidence that it burns more fat in less time spent overall. I look like someone running from the cops when I do it tho lol.

Even if you're training for a marathon, it's supposed to be good for you (in conjunction with long distance running of course).

Some plans and more resources on it:

It's a good thing to train for running away from cops.

Anyway, thanks for the tips I'll check em out
