Dear Spirit, What is your advice about staying in shape? - Anonymous

Dear Reader,

The best advice I can give you about staying in shape, and I'm sure many would disagree with me, but my advice is, do what you can. The quickest way to give up on your workout routine is by committing to more than you can reasonably do.

If you only have ten minutes when you get up in the morning or before you go to bed, then take that ten minutes to do a short workout. Even just that small effort will make a difference if you do it every day.

Diet is also a huge factor, and I don't mean "going on a diet". More so paying attention to what you’re eating and making sure that what you're putting in your body is what you need to be healthy, based on your individual needs.

Remember that putting on weight means that you're taking in more calories than your body is burning off. Which is great if you're trying to build muscle but if you’re trying to lose weight you need to increase you exercise or decrease your calorie intake.

Staying in shape is also a relative concept because everyone's body is different, and everyone has a different standard for how they want their body to be. Therefore, you have to decide what you want your body to look like and feel like and create a diet and exercise routine that will get you those results.

If you just want to maintain a certain body weight, then something simple you can do every day will be enough. However, if you want to gain 30 pounds of muscle and go into body building, then obviously you'll need to make more of a commitment to the amount of work you need to do. What it comes down to though is, do what you can for what you want.

Best wishes.

Your guide,

- Spirit

How I stay in shape over 50: A new Spring Jump Start

So spring is here, in my world in my small town in New England we are looking at mid 70’s today. It will be back in the 50’s this weekend which is par for the course but spring is here. So during the pandemic I got myself in very good shape, dropped nearly 30 pounds and refocused my training back to strength. I’ve learned a few lessons along the way and one of the most important things I have…

Funny Gym Stories: The Malcolm X of Deadlifting

Angelo blew chalk before each of his reps, making it look easy...

When I was a freshman in college, my roommate was always bugging me to go to the gym with him and some guys he had met. I blew him off a few times, knowing I am very particular with my gym partners because the gym is my meditation space and time. Eventually, I relented and one day we met up with his friends outside of the gym. There were four guys, but the main one that stood out was this 5’5”…

hii, question: do you happen to have more "characters sheets" like then one you had on the last strilond post??? i showed it to my girlfriend, and needless to say, we love your designs, so we wanted to know if you perhaps could feed us with some?? [this is a beg]

Thank you!! And i kind of wanted to make one with the prospit kids but i figured my designs for them arent all that different from canon. But i suppose if youd like to see more here they all are! (and the universe groups, then some fun outfits :p)
