I started doing cardio for a couple of months, 3 times a week (25 minutes a piece), it was annoying and i really didnt like but sure whatever i pushed through the boredom.
The REAL shit started when i actually worked out (we have workout machines in a nearby park), for almost 3 months im doing 20 minutes workout a day (5 times a week) and every. single. time. it feels like its getting more difficult to do than before.
I always heard stuff like “it gets better over time” or “your body just needs to get used to it”
but i dont feel anything like this, when im done i feel miserable thinking that i gotta do it again the next day, every single minute of workout i do feels so much longer than its actually is.
Im not silly(hopefully), i know how to workout probably, i made sure to look it up beforehand so as to not break my bones or something and the machines clearly describe with a manual printed ON them how to use them.
Is this it? is workout always gonna feel like shit? Am i just doing it wrong? Was the euphoria or adrenaline you are supposed to feel just a silly or or a thing i just dont get?
apologies is this is the wrong community i just dont feel like there is any else i wouldnt be like, laughed out of
2 - I think they just mean as you get older, it takes longer for your body to repair. If you’re in your early 20’s, you can throw lots of stress at your body and recover quickly… But as you get into your 30’s, 40’s, and beyond, you have to be more careful about the activities you choose.
3 - Free weights aren’t gendered. You just pick a weight that works for you-- Not so light that there’s no effort, and not so heavy that you can’t do the exercise properly. Free weights usually mean dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells.
ooooh, okay, that makes sense lel
ill look into these weights as an alternative then thanks
