For Those Who Don’t Like, Or Don’t Know How, To Exercise

AvatarHigh Priestess Lydia Coventina2 min to read

This is for the men who mentioned they don’t like to exercise in HP Zevios Metathronos’s post about being a man. This is also applicable for women.

Exercise does not bulk you up really big, unless you go hard with it. It is also not always boring, contrary to a lot of people’s opinion. Exercise can increase your enthusiasm for life, motivation for accomplishing goals, and increase the “happy hormones” (dopamine, endorphins, serotonin). And who doesn’t want to feel good?

Specifically, there is a certain type of exercise that will increase your health, increase your range of motion, give lean strength, reduce chance of injury, help you heal from injury, and increase your mobility and grace of movement as you age.

I’m talking about Pilates. It was initially designed for men, specifically police and military men who got injured on the job, but it expanded and now both genders do it. Many famous athletes do it, too. Pilates will also help you feel very centered and grounded, and very stable.

Pilates is very expensive in-person, but there are lots of videos online, and courses available for a very low monthly cost, on sites such as doyou.com. Just be mindful that you are paying proper attention while following along, and that the instructor gives good cues for engaging your core and so on.

Of course there are many other types of exercise, there have been quite a few posts over the years regarding the subject, so feel free to comment with your own advice and experience :)

A healthy and sound body helps increase a healthy and sound mind and soul.

This channel has some good info about body weight lifting exercises:
https://www.youtube.com/user/Kbogea/videos

HPS Pythia also wrote a good post about body weight lifting. Refer to page 3478-3480 of the JoSNewsletter:
I will have a look. I had already read some of HPS Pythia's writings.

By the way, do you by any chance know the book "Bodyweight mastery program"? It's structured in 8 levels and lasts 8 months, it's 3 workouts per week, and in case I start MMA (which is 2 workouts per week) I'd end up doing 5 workouts per week. I like to do bodyweight training and calisthenics and I was thinking of interlocking the two like this.

Hello :)

This is great, thanks for taking the time to write all this. I would also like to encourage you to make your own post about this (even just copy-pasting what you wrote here) as more people might see it and benefit from it. Maybe you (or others) can start a martial arts thread with a lot of information gathered from multiple members.

Thank you, Sister. :) Don't know how many would be interested but if people are willing to learn about this and benefit from it, can't hurt to give it a shot.

And..

Thanks Brother! I'll start a new post following Lydia's advice and you can ask me there whatever you like. (I already said pretty much the entire main concept here but I'm sure questions will come up.. also there is a whole "elemental side of it" to discuss, and an "animal skills" topic too..)

Okay, I'll copy paste this in a new post and see if anyone is interested.

HAIL ZEUS FOREVER!

I don't know if it's been said yet but jujitsu is a great way for young adults who have never exercised to begin exercising

Yes. It improves balance and flexibility: you won’t be like an Olympic gymnast, but pretty balanced and flexible. It improves cardiovascular endurance: you won’t be winning marathons, but you’ll have better staying power. If you weren’t very strong before, you will become respectably strong — not on the level of a powerlifter, but still: reasonably capable. Your grip strength will improve by orders of magnitude. Probably your core strength will, too. Your hip mobility will improve. Your proprioreception will improve. Your body will become tougher and better able to stand minor impacts.

On the other hand, if you train very intensely for a long time, if you push yourself too hard and don’t give yourself a chance to recover, you can also expect aches and injuries in your fingers, shoulders, elbows, and neck. If you continue to ignore those aches and pains without incorporating adequate rest and adequate restorative practices (yoga, pilates, Tai Chi) into your regimen, you might end up requiring orthopedic surgery...

Honestly combining this with power meditations and yoga will take your existence to another level.

I have an uncle who really knows his stuff and he is into calisthenics which is basically training/exercising with only your own body weight.

He uses an app called THENX and it shows you video clips on how to do specific exercises.

I took Lydia's advice and tried pilates. It took 10 minutes and I felt like I had run 10 miles.

I found a really good app - similar to THENX - it's called ''Pilates Exercises at Home'' by: Nexoft - Fitness Apps -- It also shows video clips on the different exercises.

Also, HOLY SHIT the energies from a pilates workout

Thanks!! :D
