Positive Exercise 4 Health, Mental Health and Addiction vs. Pure & Free

Does anyone have an issue of pushing yourself too hard when exercising resulting in injury?

It seems to be a recurring theme in my life. I've torn my left groin twice by running too hard >_< after a few miles it's too easy to run through the pain.

Runner's high is addictive

Hell yeah man, I've done a lot of injuries from going too hard. Thankfully none TOO major or chronic, but I sure do have to be cautious about how hard I push myself.
 
Heading into the club now. First day in quite awhile. Stretching and warming up well. Taking creatinine for the first month. Lifting chest, triceps, arms, wrists and abbs. Loading up two days a week only so I need to dial in a good schedule for the limited days. Going to slide in easy at first.

Hitting the spa afterwards

Right on! Just left the gym myself. Wish 24 hour fitness actually stayed 24 hours! They think they are preventing Covid but if you have limited hours that means more people jam packed so how does that help anyone! Besides I miss going when it was 2am.. I had the gym all to myself! Just the way I like it 😈💪🏻🏋🏻
 
Hell yes I was missing this🥰.

Chest is way way down, abs are better then ever, triceps and wrists are doing fine, biceps are really strong. I’ll be rolling hard in less then six months. Adding in pieces each new day.. going for a rapid revolving constant three station for an hour and quarter only two days a week. That should top off the physical profession I’m rolling just fine. Good lord I love my club, back in the saddle.

Legs and back got lifted today.. abbs were still a little sore so I skipped those, but ran a 3/4 back and legs.. went well.
 
Lifted chest and biceps abbstoday.. still trying to figure out a 2 times a week.. thinking I’m going to have to bump it to three days. Feel great

Going to run in early pre massage and hit legs, arms and abbs today.. still leaves back and that means a third day.. so it will be chest triceps and abbs, legs, arms abbs. Back shoulders and abbs. That should work.

My sons ripped right up.. full six pack and pretty chiseled. I’m glad I turned him on and he got into lifting.. I advised him “just make it a part of your life”. And he did😀
 
My brain is still messed up from the ashwagandha, but I have been running almost every day because there is a very significant decrease in symptoms during and for a few hours after running.

I love running soooo much, I wish I could do it all day without injuring myself.

running is the best sleeping pill :) sleep like a baby
 
Hit chest triceps and abbs.. I still have a strained rectus abdomenus.. going to need to lay off it for a bit at this point
 
Since I did a bit of bupre (fucking found it), I fully cleaned my bathroom, tile walls and all, and mopped my apartment floor. Gonna vacuum when its later.... (5am atm) and wash the kitchen properly.
 
i use to body build, an ex was in competition and inspired me

.........i had no depression or anxiety, nothing could bring me down, but i was younger and had the world in my hand, but excersise and diet truly are key, but we all know that
 
Why have i missed this thread entirely? Loving this! Thank you for your efforts @neversickanymore This is harm reduction at it's finest!

"Welcome to the Exercise 4 Health, Mental Health, and Addiction thread! The health benefits of exercise are extraordinary. It creates positive differences in so many areas including mental health and addiction recovery. This is a social thread where we can share positive things we have received from exercise. This is a social thread but we are going to allow talk about what drug you are addicted to and how exercise has helped you. So please share any mental health, addiction, life, or health symptoms or conditions and what difference you have experienced by making regular exercise a part of your life. This is also a place to discuss anything exercise related and to socialize about your current exercise routine."

An alcoholic writing here. And a chain smoker. And a nutritional freak. Might sound like a strange combo, but i am a strange combo. Yes, i drink tons of beer. Yes, i smoke lots of cigarettes. Yes, i follow a strict and healthy vegetarian diet and i make absolutely sure that i am getting all my needed protein, amino acids, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins and stuff.

I love walking. I just... I love walking. It is therapy. It is exercise. It is changing landscapes. Visual stimulation. Physical stimulation. I feel alive when i walk. I walk a lot, i walk fast, and i walk far. I never like... "Go for a walk" just to walk. Walking is my method of transportation. I need to have a destination, and a purpose. Like some boring bureaucracy stuff to take care of, or the need to go to the cheapest grocery store in the city. Which is Lidl, and yes, this was advertising, i love you Lidl, you have saved me from starvation countless of times.

From my home, to city center, and back is about 14 kilometers, which is about 8.7 miles. Which is nothing. I can do triple that. But my muscle strength is in awful shape. Lately i have been starting to get disgusted by my own arms. Not cool. I could do weightlifting, sure, but i absolutely dislike the feeling. Of the weightlifting process, pushups and whatnots. I can't handle the discomfort. Sure, it feels wonderful afterwards. It is a high. Lot of people reading this know the high i am talking about here. After good muscle workout. You know it. But i can't get it, because i can't deal with the discomfort before the intense high.

Weather has been absolute hell. I don't mind the cold. I am Finnish. I am the coldness. But it has been like this for 4 "winters" in a row now. Icy streets, and water on the ice. It is scary, i mean i am literally scared when i walk out there. Snail speed, ready to fall down at any given fraction of a second. I feel my walking shape decreasing. But i will get back into shape when the "winter" is gone. Or if they some day put some sand on the streets. They used to do that, during the old normal, but the old normal is a distant memory now, and no one gives a single shit about anything anymore. I was jaywalking August 2020, on my way to buy more beer, with 2,4 per mill of alcohol in my bloodstream. Bus approached. I have been suicidal since i was a tiny boy, so i was like let's see if it brakes on time, or not. It did not. Broken hip. Broken arm. Bruises everywhere. Spent about 3 months as a prisoner of my own home. Lost all fitness. Got it back when my bones healed. I will get it back again. But i need spring to arrive first.

Seems like a thread full of resources and also bluelighters who know this stuff. With this post, i can follow it more closely now. The links, the replies, the everything. Can't focus now. My focus is on ice hockey, Olympic gold medal game. In about 3 hours, we seriously have some Russians to chew and devour.

Dear weather Gods, please smile upon us for a change, mmmmmmkay?
