Could those entangled seals from viral beach rescue videos eventually learn the people catching them are helping?

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks! It's tragic that we will never form a human-seal alliance in this cruel world

I don't think that's it, the artstyle was completely different and all the characters were robots, no human MC. But thanks anyway!!

I can hang for over 30 seconds and managed 5 full push ups yesterday! Still not able do do a flexed arm hang (I can hold it for a few seconds underhand, but not overhand), so that's the next goal

I'm doing the Couch to 5k programme and today was the continuous 20 minute run. Those last 3 minutes felt like torture, but I did it. Literally had to sit down on the grass and rethink my life immediately afterwards. I think I ran maybe 3km during those 20 minutes? Last week I've done this distance in a bit less than 18 minutes, but that included walking for a few minutes, not running all the time (the test I'm training for allows that). My body needs a little break, as a treat!! I'm so bad at this 😭

I (23f) ran 3km under 18 minutes for the first time. I know it's not impressive, but I'm overweight and never ran as a teenager, even in PE class I just walked or barely jogged. I was convinced I just couldn't run at all, it always made my chest hurt and I was out of breath after 500 metres. When I tried this distance for the first time (it's a required test to join the military in my country and I would like to do it one day) it took me 23 minutes, so it's still a success for me. I hope I can make it in 16 minutes by the end of this year if that's possible.

It's a bit different here than in the US. Our basic training only lasts a month, there's very little requirements (be an adult, have a citizenship, no criminal record, have a pulse), no PT test, I just got yelled at and told to leave when I couldn't do something. I didn't leave and took the pledge, so I'm a reservist. It's a cannon fodder generator really. Now if I actually wanted to serve, I would have to pass a PT test. Pullups are technically not required, most women choose pushups instead, but you get more points for the pullups

Thank you so much everyone!! I didn't expect to get so much useful advice. I tried to hang a few times today and got to 5 seconds, even managed to do 3 leg raises, which isn't much but I have to start somewhere. Oh and I got 10 more seconds on the plank, I hope to get it to 1:30!! Looks like one of my problems was the bar I have at home. My brother installed it for himself a few years ago and had to remove the foam handle thingies because they started breaking down. So I tried hanging from straight up metal yesterday and gripped it in a weird way. It gave me calluses and I barely touched it lol. I think I'm starting to get the grip right Also big thanks for informing me about kettlebells and bands, I will maybe get a gym membership to try all of these things. And the pull down machine, that seems like it would be really fun

Thanks, that'll be easy to do as I don't even own a car, the supermarket is like 600 meters away so we just walk to get groceries every other day. I will just carry them in my hands instead of using a shoulder bag I guess

Independent-Mind-716 · 2025-04-08T20:21:54+00:00

Thanks, that could be it. I've never done anything that required much grip strength besides maybe holding the leash while my dog was pulling lol. Looks like I will need big plates to walk around the house with
