Fitness

A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

i’m a huge fan of super lazy new year’s resolutions. often the tiniest-seeming actions can make a big difference

fitness is a great example…

🏃🏼‍♂️ just 90 seconds of cardio, 3x/week has been shown to boost VO₂ max by up to 19% in under 2 months, plus improve insulin sensitivity and other benefits. that’s under 5 minutes a week!

why it works: these short bursts maximally challenge your cardiovascular system and spark powerful adaptations in minimal time

🏋🏼‍♀️ and only 3 seconds of eccentric contractions, 5x/week can increase strength by up to 12% in just a couple weeks

why it works: lowering a weight (eccentric phase) applies more tension, driving big strength gains

when your workout is three seconds long it’s really hard to make excuses, and really easy to build momentum and add onto it

do you have any tiny but impactful habits you like to do, fitness-related or otherwise? i’d love to hear your favourites!

today i did 90 seconds of cardio (just jumping up and down while warming up the shower) and one slow reverse chin-up. that’s good enough for me to make some progress and save energy for laundry and other things i need to do

you aren’t a failure/loser for not having an impressive fitness routine, you can just do what you feel like doing and what makes your body feel good 🩵

i love this so much 🤌

i like to do 10 pushups while i am waiting for my coffee to brew
