Finally getting back into exercise after having to take a few months off due to health reasons. Considering I used to do an hour of gym 4 days a week, rock climbing for a year, then martial arts for another, I'm the type that feels like shit if I stand still. And for good reason. None of my Gis fit, most of my gym shorts don't either. It's really demoralizing to feel like I've slid back. Before I was fat but I could still do two good pull-ups, now I'm fatter and can't do any. At least I'm still human shaped.
I decided I'm sick of going to the gym for weightlifting. Either I go in the afternoon and have to fend off the hordes or wake up early and have to shower at the gym (ew). Plus I hate seeing peach pants and the music sucks. So I'm starting up a home gym routine with maces, clubs, and jump rope. Eventually going to get some kettlebells and install rings on a tree. The maces and jump rope are kicking my ass already so I have room to grow.
I also think I'm going to quit my MMA gym after giving it a few more months. I don't have good training partners where I'm at. Most of the gym is filled with dumb stoners, which I'm already not a fan of, but while I was gone the owner decided to lean into it and rename the place "Hot Box" and make these Pornhub logo shirts to advertise. It's really trashy. I'm all for doing what you want, but I'm sick of dealing with degeneracy in my fitness. To me it's about self-improvement. So maybe I'll get a punching bag and do youtube videos to improve.
