@godseeker62 Yeah it really isn’t my thing! I don’t enjoy it at all haha. I’ve tried some HIIT videos a few times but I swear it feels like I’m gonna die everytime. Then again I think that’s the purpose of HIIT if I’m not wrong

@dawn16 Thanks for the comment! It’s definitely food for thought. I gotta admit exercise helps with my anxiety, so maybe I seem more relaxed on days after working out, but I’d say it’s part of the usual high we all get when endorphins kick in. Aside from that I don’t think it affects my mood to...

@dawn16 We are four girls - two of us are 27 and the other two are three years younger. There’s definitely a gap beyond age since me and the other 27yo are full time workers and the younger two are still uni students. The girl my age is the “meanest” of them all though (don’t really want to call...

@markvs yeah I can totally see how having different hobbies could be perceived as obsessive or negative. And it’s kinda sad that I’m being “called out” for working out consistently but when I used to drink heavily no one said anything.

Hi guys, I did not find anything related to this on the FAQ and I hope it’s not breaking any rules. I’m 27 and I was NEVER an athletic person. For some reason though, I started to actually enjoy exercising in January this year and I haven’t stopped working out regularly ever since, with a...

@johnhenrygroenewald yeah that’s totally it! They see it as forcing myself to do something I hate, I think. I am going to try to express more how much I enjoy it from now on. Funny bc I’ve watched like, all of Netflix, and no one says I’m obsessed haha. And yeah, at the end, not my problem :D...

@gudjen I turned 27 this year but two of my roommates are still in their early 20s and uni students. there’s quite a gap there, not just age wise but also in our routines and lifestyle. I feel quite disconnected from them all, even from the other roommate that’s the same age as me and I 100%...

@hunor999 Not really! We’re just roommates, we do hang out when we’re all at home but nothing too crazy. they’re more friendly acquaintances than anything. I wanted to see it as them trying to make healthy banter, but the “serious addiction” comment still felt out of place.

@psalm6819 Thanks for the comment! I realize my post might have made me sound like I don’t have a social life just because I pointed out I didn’t go out on a Friday night, but really that’s not the case :’) I do believe I have a great, healthy social life - I probably meet up with friends 3 to...

@thegodinme Yeah honestly what bugs me is that I used to have way worse “hobbies” (heavy drinking being one of them) to cope with anxiety and no one batted an eye. People only started making comments when I developed healthy habits that don’t even interfere with me socializing.

@iampammie Thats such a mature approach! I gotta remind this and apply it for all aspects in life tbh.

Okay so, they’re seriously saying I have an unhealthy addiction with the gym, and it’s reaching a point where I’m embarrassed to say I’m going to workout if they ask me what are my plans for X day. I genuinely don’t believe I am because I respect my rest days. Yesterday for example I had a...

@oldfield Oh the marathon actually has the option to do 10k which was the original idea. But even that I see difficult right now, so if I sign up, I will probably be walking half of it haha. My “real” goal is 5k and I’m aware that will take me a few months! I will look up various programs and...

Hi all! Recently I've (29F) been trying to "reset" my workouts as I haven't been very motivated due to big life changes (work, moving...). I've always tried to do a mix of strength training at home, cardio (dance and HIIT) and yoga. However I've been kinda bored recently and I've been trying to...
