What are comrades doing become more savage? I walked 25ish miles last Saturday and I realized that I would’ve been a casualty statistic on the Long March, or any other revolutionary activity for that matter.
While revolution may not come in our lifetime, we should be prepared, and create good habits for our health and so that we can pass them on to future generations. There are also many other skills besides exercise that promote discipline and will be essential in a revolution. Farming, gunsmithing, first aid, etc. I’d like to hear about the non-fitness skills comrades are working on as well.
A side tangent on the other side of exercise: Food. The capitalists win every time we eat their crap. It’s designed to make us fat, lazy, and addicted. Consuming the toxins they call food makes us weak in body and mind, I believe a huge factor of the modern mental health crisis (and regular health) is our processed diet. Stuff like pasteurization, corn fed animals, and the depletion of nutrients in the soil make even “organic” foods less nutritious than they were 100 years ago. We can’t even begin to talk theory much less free ourselves if our minds are clouded with xenoestrogens and trans fats, and corn syrup.
Lots of scattered ideas sorry, but the food industry gets me riled up lol. Any excersises/skills/inspirational stories for us horizontally challenged comrades? Thanks and good health to all ✊💪
I am precisely the kind of person called out by this post. I’m fat to the point that even if you used the average amerifat as your standard I’m a hamplanet. I just went for a mile walk this morning and I could already feel my legs getting tired.
Forget the long march. I need to get in shape for when soft suburbanites like me are required by the communist party to do several years of agricultural labor out in the countryside. Obesity is liberalism of the body.
Here’s a good post from our own CriticalResist8, hopefully it helps you.
Strength training at least three times a week. Running. Boxing. Also, eating healthy. That’s what I do for my physical development.
As I now live in a city I don’t have the room to grow food or do a lot of survival skill training, but I watch a lot of videos on the topic for now.
These are ALL things I wish I could do and learn.
However, I’m honestly at the point where I’m putting all my eggs into the basket of the game of life in this shithole as it exists now. I am fully invested in this society as it is with the hand-wavy assumption that I can adapt should the circumstances radically change (which I do genuinely believe I could). This is partially based on strategic decision making and partially based in the fact that the life I have requires 100% of my attention and spare energy to be reinvested in the bottomless pit.
I was weighing 238 last semester and i struck there couldn’t get myself to lose more weight.
At 31 with work and my eating habits that was hard, then i took on more classes this semester, went through the holidays BOOM I’m now 253! I hate my fuckin metabolism
So I’m back to my workout regimen Pre full body workout 1.5 mile run to the gym Couple of reps on 7 machines at the gym (if people aren’t hogging them and having conversations on them) Then a 1.5 mile run back home
My downfall is my eating habits, j can binge and stress eat
Can be just as hard a habit to kick as smoking. I feel you, we got this 💪
It really is It’s hard to catch myself
May be worth trying to find a friend that has similar goals to you. That way you can exercise/diet together. We’re conditioned to think our own wellbeing is an individual endeavor when what you may need is a community to hold you accountable. :)
That’s the hard part and when people wanna catch up they usually wanna go eat something filling, but you’re right
why rant against pasteurization tho it allows better shelf lives
It was introduced because of the horrid conditions of livestock during the 1920s. It may last longer but the probiotics and vitamins B1, B2, B12 and C, and folate are seriously diminished or gone entirely.
Big milk still pushes it like it’s a miracle cure, while it’s just calcium water that isn’t even as effective in maintaining strong bones as we used to think.
Edit: it denatured the proteins as well
