I walked the mile all of high school which says everything it needs to about my athletic abilities, but discovering in my 20s that I don’t need to punish myself at the gym with workouts that I don’t enjoy (or are straight up too hard for my body) has been a revolution for me. I found “my“ routine that I do pretty much every time I’m at the gym and it allows me to read a book at the same time, study lines, etc.
“Do what you like and what feels good” is not only a mostly good life mantra, but it perfectly applies when it comes to how you decide to move your body 😘

I made a bunch of wild changes in my life recently. Went sober for a couple months, quit smoking and started exercising like crazy…highly recommend all three of these but specifically I found love for basic bitch fitness. For the first time I fully understand the fanaticism: the light filled mirrored room, Taylor swift remixes thumping in your sports bra bound chest, a tiny nasal bubblegum voice thick with vocal fry assuring you that you are so strong and powerful, ok ladies! Instills this nearly manic feeling of total control and capability and I walk out feeling psychotically euphoric.

i dont like gyms- they give me anxiety
but i usually look up exercises that line up with my goals
like do i wanna lose weight, build muscle, etc. and then make a my own routine based on the exercises i find
a super under rated and actually fast way to help stay active is literally just going for a walk for about 30min every day
the hard part is every day the easy part is the walking
but you can also find online fitness classes im sure for free or just make a youtube work out playlist to put on and follow

I got into weight lifting for the same reason I get into most things, which is pure unbridled vanity. I read or heard somewhere in my many biohacker information channels that weight lifting is the most anti-aging form of exercise, especially for women, and so I was like on my way! I wasn’t about to pay some community college bro $100 an hour at my LA Fitness to train me though so I just googled “weight lifting classes near me” and because I live a charmed and bless life I found the fucking coolest independent gym like a mile from my house and have been going there for almost a year. Vanity aside, it just makes you feel so good all the time. I love watching myself get stronger and I love the feeling after you lift something really heavy you thought you could never have lifted and I love all the neighborhood friends I’ve made there, including former PI subject and possibly coolest girl alive Petra Cortright. (Honestly a large part of my social life takes place there?) Anyway everyone over 30 should lift weights, preserve your waning muscle mass and build up your self-esteem babe.

I can’t believe it’s a debut and not a single song is a skip. They‘re referenced several times in the MF DOOM biography and it‘s funny how much the “your favorite artist’s favorite artist” rings true for them

Idc there’s something so chic about my car that costed me 2k and is paid off and so gently used by its previous owners. Having a CD binder in the car makes me feel like my mom. 10/10 overall.
