I stay physically active, just simple going to the gym 5-6 days a week.

jesus fuck how is that simple?

[–] viralJ@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you talking about time constraints? (again - no parental responsibilities here, so pretty simple) Or are you asking how I motivate myself?

Also, I meant simple as in, I don't play any sports, or do some varied types of physical activity. Just gym.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Both?
Working a full time job leaves neither time nor energy for that, for example.

Maybe it's just a 10min walk to the gym? Saves a lot of money for membership as well.

Simple doesnt necessarily mean easy to accomplish. I took it to mean they just go and so something as opposed to some structured, unwavering plan or training so hard they cant walk 5 days out of the weak.

Could probably accomplish something similar with 100-200 squats and push ups a day, but going to the gym gives you more variety

Yes, I guess whatever regular physical activity is good. But not gonna lie, during the pandemic when gyms were closed and all I had to stay active was my dumbbells at home, it was pretty much harder to motivate myself to do the limited number of exercises available to me in this set up. Gym does allow for some variety.
