I'm to understand we are doing each of these once a day, so am I sewing 30 faces on to mine?

Faces tend to spoil

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

First you sew on one face, and it's okay because it's just one time and it feels pretty good. But then you're at a party and someone offers you another face and you sew it on because you think, "what's the harm?" Pretty soon, you're sewing on a new face every day, lying in a gutter.

Real talk, a good workout 5 days a week will have a noticable impact on your body by the 30 day mark.

I went from literally struggling to lift 50 lbs to being able to do my first full pullup of my life (and immediately after I did a second one to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke) with just 1 month of daily exercise. I also started to feel noticably healthier and felt my body start asking for healthier foods. It actually got kinda finny one time I heated up a steamer bag of veggies because I just wanted a big plate of veggies, then my mouth was going "eww I still hate cauliflower" while my stomach was going "YES GIVE ME THE CAULIFLOWER"

I was following this guide which was extremely helpful in that it explained the terminology, provided different levels for each excercise so you start with what you can do rather than fighting a pushup or pullup that you can't do, and provides clear points where you "level up" and can move up to the next level for the excercise. Nice part is, it's all pushups and leg raises and such, so you just need a patch of floor somewhere to do it

Anyways my tired brain isn't making a fully coherent post, but point is, more people should try excercise because it's really cool!

True. Also: starting to train had a massive positive impact on my psychological health. I feel so much better now than before.

Training also teaches you discipline. You can't train if you don't have the mental strength to regularly force yourself to do it.

The only thing that you'll have to come over is the constant muscle soreness you'll have.

I'm at exactly one month in of following hybrid calisthenics and am experiencing the exact same thing. After almost 175lbs of weight loss and now exercising regularly, I have tons more energy both physically/mentally and for the first time in my life look forward to just doing something to get my body moving. Being able to adjust the exercises for difficulty has been a game changer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hey good job on the weight loss! I can only imagine how much of a journey that must've been

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Thank you! I've still got about 50lbs left to lose but we're in the home stretch now after about 3 years. Slow and steady wins the race 💪😤

You can still be recognized by their old (and your new) face

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Well no, because all the other things you do will make that face look a bit different.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Not if you bedazzle it first.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I do all of these except one...

^Damn, ^really ^gotta ^cut ^down ^on ^the ^sugar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Damn, you getting away with cutting people's faces off every day?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I drank more than 2L of water a day and had a seizure and almost died because of it

Don't do what this says because then you'll get hyponatremia

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

The amount of water you/me/anyone can process is completely different... No one should ever take medical advice from anyone but a physician that actually knows them personally, their activity level, medical history, and I wish it could go without saying; but, at this point, what resources are actually available to them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can drink over 4 litres a day without any problem and I don't work out. I just try to have mineral intake as well.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

And don't smoke, it's a disgusting habit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

..but the Ganja is still optional, right??!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Less gross but still bad. Edibles are less bad for you lungs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Tell that to my gummi spliff

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

While I agree it's a disgusting habit... All my bad health news came after I quit! Granted, in 25 years of smoking I only went to a doctor like 2-3 times, but why aren't I immortal now??? I was perfectly healthy when I couldn't stop coughing, and could barely breathe!

All jokes aside, I'm amazed I'm in as good of health that I am. Started at 16, I'm 40 now and quit a little over 4.5 years ago.

I hate to say it, but the only thing that got me to quit was working for a company that went 100% non smoking 5 years ago... I left a few months later, but it had nothing to do with the ban on smoking, it was their ban on hiring/promoting/or transferring from one's current position if they lived in a state with wage transparency 😎

I don't think I have it in me to sew anything on my anywhere daily for 30 days

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

It’s a little like those plastic surgery addicts, after your first few face changes you probably keep chasing that next high.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

-sleep when you're tired, wake up without an alarm

-drink water when you're thirsty

-use sunscreen everyday, *re-apply every four hours when necessary

-eat a healthy diet of soylent and blood of the innocent

-wander around your area, maybe with a bike

-allow yourself to space out whenever you feel like it

You’ll be dead from the no sugar part before you can even cut somebody’s face off

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sugar, as opposed to starch and other complex carbs. Eat potato, not danish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Can the face be danish?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Wear sunscreen, or stay in the shade during peak hours though!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Does it need to be dried first?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Goddamn. Now I know what my problem is. I don't exercise enough.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You forgot sunscreen to keep your faces healthy and wrinkle free.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

How am I supposed to get sun every day in the Arctic?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Only a few of these are really even doable.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Like, I am on lemmy 4 hours a day minimum, I can't restrict myself to 30 minutes reading only.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Right? Like how are you supposed to restrict yourself to only cutting off one face a day?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That all seems reasonable, but who has time to work out 3x a week
