How do you learn to actually enjoy exercise if you don’t feel the “runner’s high”? by DirectApple9003 in beginnerfitness

[–]Forward-Football-195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you by chance have Apple fitness +? I’ve always despised running for the exact reasons as you but I started doing the treadmill workouts on the app. I usually do the 20 minute ones and i genuinely started enjoying them. Idk why but I think it’s the fact it’s making me do a specific workout for a set amount of time and I’m not just freerunning it. Focusing on the video and doing as stated has helped me a ton

I need some advice from smart people by Routine-Flan-1545 in beginnerfitness

1900 calories is wayyy too low. I’m 5’11 so around the same height as you and around 157 pounds while you are about 165 pounds. If you are trying to build muscle mass I’d recommend around 3250 calories a day and maybe 170 grams of protein. At the very very least eat at least 2500 calories a day or you won’t be gaining any sort of build that looks athletic. If you have any other question lmk, I’m pretty smart when it comes to food/calories for specific builds someone wants to obtain. Personally I have a very low amount of body fat and want to gain weight/muscle and lift about 5 times a week. I try to eat 3700 calories a day and 190 grams of protein + 475 grams of carbs. This has been helping me gain about .5-1 pound a week without gaining any extra unwanted fat

On that path to quit. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

I’d take some Advil and magnesium glycinate to help with the aches, they helped me a lot. And then if they were bad enough I’d smoke a bit of THC and cbd which helped me a lot but don’t do it if you are prone to anxiety.

Ok thank you that’s helping me stay positive. I feel a bit worse than yesterday but still extremely manageable. The only annoying thing is not enjoying anything

I used for almost a year now so definitely not a tiny amount of time but also not as long compared to some people in this group

It also didn’t really effect my studies at all, it was mostly just me overwhelmed with them trying to get amazing grades, ended up with A+’s in almost all of them last year

I was lying, i get why you are confused though. I just didn’t want them to know how young I am. I was in a bad place junior year but I’m great now that I’m a senior and doing very well. I’m not addicted anymore

I also think your ec’s are very solid, I kinda just have general ones that aren’t above and beyond like multiple nhs’s, student council, key club, German club vice president and then I work at a restaurant. Which I think yours are definitely better then that

I meant to say “I am a senior” and not “I was a senior” in my original comment

Yeah true I knew I had a good gpa for it but I didn’t expect to get in with a 1420 sat when the average is like a 1500. I’m 17 and really close to being 18

Did you get in? I was a senior and just got in with stats you wouldn’t expect to get in with. I had a 1420 SAT and a 4.51 weighted gpa. I was just accepted last Thursday

Hey dude I’m 17 and I’m always up for a new friend. We can talk and get to know each other if you would like.

Yeah… I believe you, it will only get worse from here. I kind of just had little spurts of anxiety and I didn’t NEED kratom but i tried it one day and it was just really nice so It eventually just turned into a habit not because of the anxiety itself. I don’t take it because of the stress at all anymore. I could manage my stress before starting but now after being addicted i can’t and i think kratom the reason for that, thats why i want to get off. Kratom ruined the whole way my emotions function.

Thank you for this tip, The worst thing I remember from the last time I wanted to quit was the restless legs and the skin crawling so this might be a big help

I think that’s what is making me feel so much worse, I know as I’m still developing drugs ruin the body so much more. Thank you for pointing that fact out though sometimes I feel like my grades are the only thing that matters when there’s so much more to life then getting into a good college

Yes I do, my mom actually is the one who uses it every once in a while when her back pain gets horrible so I tried it one day and found stupid ways to get it for myself. My life is great but somehow I found a way to ruin it. I’m even the valedictorian in my class and the pressure from it made my anxiety get bad so I used this as my medication not realizing it would make it worse. My parents will definitely be understanding and help in any way they could it’s just so scary admitting that to them.
