There is this pervasive very narrow concept a lot people have of what exercising/working out is and why people do it, that it is only about losing weight and "looking hot" which makes some people more defensive or hostile to the suggestion for one reason or another, like it is an attack against them and how they look. It isnt about that, it can be about that but more than that it is an act of self care. it is about feeling better. it is about making your body as capable of maintaining your life as you can. I understand it is more difficult to some than it is for others, every single person is different and has different circumstances but doing little things to get your body moving will make you feel better, theres many ways of exercising. It isnt just lifting weights and running on a treadmill and things that can seem intimidating or inaccessible. Theres a lot of different ways and with a little research theres something out there for everyone, I have never been a fan of working out but then i tried yoga watching some youtube guides in my bedroom and it made me feel a lot better, mentally and physically. Thats all i got to say ♥️
#this is a little hypocritical of me honestly#theres twitter leftist discourse going on that made me lose my mind#it upsets me as someone who worked for a independent living center as a program developer#and someone who did a lot of research into this kinda stuff#that some people would call the suggestion of exercising ableist#we had work out classes for people with disabilities#i looked into this stuff#i designed a self defense class for people with disabilities#theres the fuckin paralympics#and the special olympics#swimming is really fuckin good for you if you have arthritis too it makes your bones ache less i can attest
