I will not stop talking about my meds. I got home yesterday with the intent to clean my guinea pig's cage and I actually did it. I washed and cut my hair after that and didn't feel like I wasted my evening. I need to make phone calls today and the dread of not knowing how long it's gonna take isn't hanging over me bc frankly it feels like time has slowed down. I'm actually cooking breakfast with what handful of groceries I have left and then I'm gonna buy more and actually plan a few meals. Life could be a dream

To brighten your day, imagine, Paya, Koko and Cottla are able to help each other exercise in this way;

-Paya holds a wooden plank over her shoulders to deadlift

-Koko and Cottla stand on the plank to serve as weights and practice balancing

Koko and Cottla are Paya and Sheik's personal workout assistants (aka the weights) and they both teach them little easy exercises too when they want to participate

The basic ''secret'' to gaining strength is really quite simple, but it isn't easy - and those two things get mixed up way too often.

Like. It's essentially just do weightlifting regularily (your own weight, dumbells, someone else, doesn't matter) and eat plenty of food, especially lots of protein (but also carbs and fat and all that! if you don't give your body energy, it's not gonna prioritise building muscle).

Like, yes, if you wanna min-max it, you can get really complicated with it and some exercises might be especially good and there's the whole higher weight vs. more reps argument and HIIT being super effective or whatever but if what you're looking for is just generally getting a bit stronger? Find a well rounded exercise plan that works for you and that you at least somewhat actually enjoy doing (look at darebee or hybrid calisthenics for example) and then... do that. And eat food.

Like in general the way to get good at something is to do the thing. Your body isn't different. Wanna be strong and able to lift heavy things? Lift heavy things and work your way up. Wanna be able to run long distances? Go running regularily, you'll get better and better. Wanna be stretchy? Stretch regularily.

With everything, challenge yourself, but don't overdo it, start unfamiliar exercises with low weights first, make sure to do it with good form, stop if it hurts in a Bad Way (there is good exhausted muscles pain, there is stretching juuust at your limit good pain, listen to your body, when in doubt, stop)

Like.... yeah it's not super easy and it'll take time and no you're not gonna become superman overnight and if someone promises you that, don't trust them. But it's also not some magic thing you can't possibly do. Find a sport you like. And then do it.

And Eat Food

Strength Training Exercises 101

If you’ve decided to start strength training on your journey to become a Fit Girl - congratulations! Read all about the benefits of strength training in my earlier post.

Not only does strength training (at home or in the gym) help build muscle and make you stronger, but it can also give your confidence a major boost.

Here is an overview of some basic exercises that will get you started on your journey towards building strength and getting your dream body. You can use dumbbells with these exercises, a barbell or simply your body weight.

Squats: Squats are a great exercise for strengthening your legs and core. To do a proper squat, stand with feet hip width apart and toes slightly pointed out. Keep your back straight and make sure to keep the weight in your heels as you lower into a sitting position. You should go down until your thighs are parallel to the floor or just below. Then, push up through your heels to stand back up.

Lunges: Lunges help strengthen your quads, hamstrings and glutes. Start in a standing position with feet together and take a large step forward with one leg, bending both knees at 90 degree angles as you lower yourself towards the floor. Keep your torso upright throughout the movement and make sure your front knee does not go past your toes. Then, return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

Push-ups: Push-ups are a great way to work several muscle groups at once, including chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. Start in a plank position with hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower yourself down by bending your elbows, keeping your entire body in a straight line throughout the movement. Then push back up and repeat. If you’re not quite ready for a full push-up yet, you can start with wall push-ups instead.

Plank: Planks are an amazing core exercise that help to build strength and stability. To do a plank, start in a push-up position, but with your weight resting on your forearms instead of your hands. Make sure your back is straight, core is engaged and shoulders are pulled away from the ears. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat as desired.

Romanian deadlifts: Romanian deadlifts help strengthen your hamstrings and glutes. Start standing with feet hip width apart, holding a dumbbell (or any other weight) in both hands in front of you. With your torso straight, hinge at the hips to lower the weight down towards the floor until it reaches knee-level, or until you can feel your hamstrings. Squeeze your glutes to pull yourself back up to the starting position.

These are just a few basic exercises to help you get started on your strength training journey. With time and practice, you can add more exercises to your routine for a full body workout. So, get out there and start building some strength!

It's weird how I'm too physically strong for my mom to abuse me now. If she tried to hit me like she used to I could legitimately hurt her enough to get her off me. I suppose it doesn't mean much when I'm a 17 year old boy and she's 37 but I'm gradually not the helpless child I used to be

What is a Plank Exercise? How To Do Them?

A plank exercise is a popular core-strengthening exercise that requires maintaining a static position similar to a push-up position. The plank exercise will be discussed in detail in this article, along with its history, origins, many advantages, correct forms and variations, common mistakes to avoid, and how to include it in your fitness regimen.

COPENHAGEN PLANK

If you're looking for effective alternatives to build core strength, one exercise that stands out is the Copenhagen plank. The Copenhagen plank is a challenging variation of the traditional plank exercise that specifically targets the core muscles, including the abdominals, obliques, and lower back. It offers a unique and intense way to engage your core and develop stability.

To perform the Copenhagen plank, start by lying on your side with your forearm resting on the ground, elbow positioned directly beneath your shoulder. Stack your feet on top of each other and lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your heels. The key element of this exercise is to maintain a stable position while raising and lowering your top leg, which creates an additional challenge for your core muscles.

One of the main benefits of the Copenhagen plank is its ability to target the often neglected and hard-to-reach oblique muscles. By actively engaging the obliques to stabilize the body, this exercise helps improve lateral strength and enhances overall core stability. Additionally, the Copenhagen plank can aid in reducing the risk of injuries, particularly in sports that involve twisting or sudden changes in direction.

However, it's important to note that the Copenhagen plank is an advanced exercise that requires proper form and progression. Beginners or individuals with existing injuries should start with easier variations of planks and gradually work their way up to the Copenhagen plank.

If you're seeking alternatives to the Copenhagen plank, other exercises can also help build core strength. Some popular options include the Russian twist, side plank, mountain climbers, hanging leg raises, and bicycle crunches. These exercises engage the core muscles from different angles and provide a well-rounded approach to developing core strength.

In conclusion, the Copenhagen plank offers a challenging and effective method to build core strength and stability. By incorporating this exercise into your fitness routine and exploring other plank variations and core exercises, you can strengthen your core muscles, improve posture, and enhance overall functional strength. Remember to consult with a qualified fitness professional or trainer to ensure proper form and technique to maximize the benefits while minimizing the risk of injury.
