Do you go to gym?

What if you found one with a pool? Would you be more likely to swim?

I sit in the back room of the senior citizens + pick up mostly stretching exercises. Iā€™m really stiff - I sit in my chair alot. I have a studio apt, so all the walking I get is to bed or out the door.

Trying to add a little weight lifting for muscle tone. I walk to the library a lot and check the books for sale.

I donā€™t like going to the gym, thereā€™s too much heavy stuff there.

My gym is my yoga mat in my living room. I only need my body and a very small space to do my yoga poses quite effectively. Thatā€™s one of the many beauties of yoga: Low maintenance.

I wish I were more like you @Chess24.I would like to go to the gym more often like I used to. I would like to be able to speak and read another language besides English. I pray for a long life and friends to go out with.

@see121 I donā€™t think I am a person to envy.
I have severe schizophrenia, I was on the verge of death at a very young age.
I canā€™t live independently.
I am very ill suited to life.
Knowledge of languages such as English and Russian is, at least currently, impractical.
Untrained, my level of fitness is very low.
I depend very heavily on these gym sessions, way too much.
I have serious sleep disturbances and severe cognitive problems.
I canā€™t work or study, I donā€™t even collect a disability check.
I have no friends.

Making a brioche is so gross and stickyā€¦I think kneading and shaping one is worse than triangle pushupsā€¦but make such good bread pudding sigh :pensive:

Hi @Chess24 I feel like my life has gotten worse over a span of a year, intrusive thoughts sometimes intense, feeling my life is always in danger, just want to be safe, have privacy, people looking down on me, only thing that can save my life is to get help, maybe CBT therapy, and to be left alone from negative influences.

Hereā€™s a hug :hugs: hope that helps some.

No, I stopped doing public pools years ago. A lot of people just pee in them and pretend itā€™s no big deal. Paranoia perhaps, but I remember one of my old friends when I was a kid say the chlorine eats it up. :pensive:

My sis in law has a salt water pool

@Noise I can completely understand. I think by going to the gym regularly has made it tremendously easier for me to socialise. I started by going during times when it was extremely quiet and progressed from there. I think it could help you
