If you could get all the benefits of exercise in a pill, everyone would take it.

it helps a bit but for me it wasn't the difference between being depressed and not being depressed. Im still depressed just stronger now

It’s a great habit to have.

Anything outdoors is great too!

And yet professionals will tell you they never cured someone

Society has programmed us to infinitely a***yze ourselves, since we started doing this about a hundred years ago people have only gotten more depressed. The essence of Being is living and acting in the world.

see ozempic getting advertised on amazon front page

cant believe im liking your post

its a dismissive response that has trickled down to regular people from the fact that the fitness industry is raking in all-time profits from all sorts advertisement of body insecurity

i laugh out loud when i see ads for running products that mention 'runner's high' second sentence in an ad read this is literally like selling people air

Yall will write a societal dissertation and not take 40 minutes a day to push yourself lmao.

gym halpert

40 minute lift then a 40 minute walk with the dog through the park to start the day.

Can’t get better.

because it works lol

There was a single day in the last 15 years I did not do that in the morning and all day I was like holy s*** this sucks how do people live like this

no i’m not fat i’m very skinny, ride my bike everyday and played organized sports for a minute too its cause everybody keeps telling me how going gym is supposed to be this big remedy everytime i attempt talking to anyone abt my mental health and its pissing me off

People keep walking up to you and telling you this?

im surprised youre unaware of this fr

have you ever seen a show or movie where in order to show a change in a character they get him running early morns in baggy sweats?

unfortunately i‘m prone to have public mental breakdowns esp recently so i‘ve been in situations where i had to explain myself and my mental well being to which almost everybody eventually responded to me with going gym as the remedy

i don‘t actively ask for advice but when i try explaining my situation people naturally feel obliged to give me advice

Cannot think of any show or film I’ve seen recently where that happens. But I am pretty picky with what I watch I don’t really do background s***.

What triggers these?

Sorry man. They are probably meaning well.

Because you can just get up and go. It's also a really easy rabbit hole to go down that can distract you from whatever you're dealing with.

Living in THE MOMENT

it can be a bunch of different trivial things however the core cause of it is always the lack of joy and loneliness in my life

I started to f heavy w sports during oandemic ironically. My mental and physical health really improved by 10x. I really dont see my self not doing sports less than 4/5 times a week
