started lifting in addition to my regular running/yoga routine about a year ago and it has completely changed my life. I feel like I have more energy and flexibility, and my relationship to my own body and diet has changed for the better. I wish I would have started 10 years ago!

My friend recommended strength training to me because I was always in a ton of pain because my muscles (lack thereof actually) did a bad job of holding up my loose (?) bones (I have RA), so I started strength training and it has made sooo much of a difference in terms of my energy and joint pain and general health. It’s also very mentally empowering to not feel extremely feeble and frail at all times of every day, and I think being in a more science-based strength training situation helps me prioritize feeling strong and not worrying so much about an aesthetic result.

i’ve been slowly getting into fitness over the past year and it was a real lightbulb moment for me when i started doing more intensive workouts (as opposed to only yoga/pilates) bc they are wildly more gratifying, physically and mentally. turns out the confidence and motivation you get from doing hard things is what makes u actually wanna continue working out.
i’m now more active than ever and it feels great!!!

I recently joined a rugby team even though i'm a teeny little thing so i've started lifting and its honestly changed my life. I look forward to the 3 days a week where I go to the gym and just lift weights for like an hour and a half and get a protein shake. plus, every week I go and can see the progress i'm making. Here's to getting stronger!

a few long take bangers in this film, but the battle scene near the end is so goddamn good. follow Clive Owen and the pregnant young woman in his care as they get caught in a skirmish between two warring factions. Cuarón is the best.
