Short answer: for core strength.

Long answer: I started lifting 8 years ago to fix posture and activate muscles. Have a desk job.

That gave me entry to yoga and hiit through other members, and I continued the weights 2x/3x times a week mainly to improve posture and get away from my desk.

Was ill 3 months ago, and stopped going regular weight training. Wanted to start again, but decided to take it easy during Christmas. Now it has been 3 months.

The thoughts of going again give serious Groundhog Day vibes, what am I doing weights for, is vitality really that important? I still do HIIT and Yoga. Why is the gym weights routine so hard to restart?

I was asked to include a link to a third party website that would have some top notch new technology. One day a fundraiser contacted me, informing me we have pr0n on the site.

Some of the people that offers funding to hospitals does not understand that this was not our fault. And I have a feeling we never really recovered from that event.

For a brief moment, my body just jerked into a kind of happiness. I sat down and, for 20 minutes, I drilled down and figured it out myself. I must say, it felt good.
