Boxing

[Bankai9000]

Ya this is a big thing. When I don't hit gym or do anything physical I instantly slack on everything else, goes way prior pfs. I sleep less, stress myself more with other shit, my mood is shittier, fap more, eat way worse etcetc. It was literally the main reason I kept hitting the gym 1x a week for a decade cuz it made me less salty and way happier in all life areas.

Funny u mention boxing now cause it was going through my head the last 2-3weeks, that I'm pissed I'm not fit anymore and tell myself every year I'll work on that. I look decent but just not fit on the inside. Last time played 2years ago or so football with some mates and I felt like dying after 5min, like a fat pug trying to catch for air after climbing 3 stairs LOL XD
Time to get back at it^^ pfs really helped me to realize a lot, but my cortisol is still out of whack
And I also belive relaxing all the time doesn't fix shite

With our fragile/damaged bodies I think we have to strike a balance between rest and activity, push and pull

Too much intensity too often leads to high cortisol stress and burnout as I found out for myself last week by doing too much activity and neglecting relaxation/body work. Too much rest with little to no intensity and activity, and it's going to take a long time to reach homostasis because the body isn't getting pushed to produce the right anabolic hormones and endorphins.

That's why I plan on doing the boxing 1-2x in the week every other 2nd week and then give body a break from it for a week, with just short 30 min heavy weight training sessions 1-3 a week in between and the rst of the time rest/recovery and see how I fair
