go to the gym. i was kinda scared of going to the gym at first due to self-esteem, but after going for about nearly a month now its like i dont care. you might think youre being judged or you just dont fit into that type of place. i can assure you though the people there are also just trying to better themselves. they are also so nice & uplifting, no pun intended.
my favorite thing to do is the treadmill & calf extensions. i highly recommend the treadmill, if you want to be simple, especially on an incline of 12-15 percent at a 3-3.2 speed. another thing i recommend is stretching; sometimes parts of our bodies go over looked in our day to day life and they tend to tighten up. stretching will make you feel much more agile!

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

They say nobody is paying attention to you in the gym but that is patently untrue because I am always people watching the few time that I am there. When you don't know how to work out you feel like the stupidest guy in the world but if you go with your friend then feeling stupid becomes having a laugh. For example you can do isolated calf raises one leg at a time and balance on each other's shoulders. You can do bicep curls in sync and giggle together. Your friend can show you how to do a lateral raise and you can whine about it but that's fine, you are just learning and spending time in good company. Everyone should have a gym buddy who teaches them a few random exercises that don't really apply to their physical needs

the good feeling you get from lifting heavy stuff up and down, or doing some pilates, running, and/or walking is unmatched. get out of bed, move around, its good for your health :)

its so beautiful. this is my first time seeing legitimate snow in my life. i've lived on the southern coast my entire life and have only experienced little sheets of ice that we desperately labeled as snow. i envy people who are able to experience this every winter; it certainly is magical.

one of my favorite feelings. might've just done it. youll never know!
i think people do not cry enough. i dont know why because it feels so good. we feel so much better after we cry because our bodies are made to do that! embrace the emotions because thats what makes us human!!!
