Im not going to the fucking gym, sibling, not until there’s a community lead free anarchist gym near me.
I train at home with cheap equipment. And I train for functional strength instead of appearances ; unlike the fascists I dont give a fuck how strong I look, actually I’d rather look weak to keep them overconfident.
I prefer to just go for hikes outside. You get good exercise and fresh air. I do have an elliptical at home though which I use when the weather isn’t good enough to go hiking.
I fuckin did, an hour of swimming and my pecs are ready to swing a golf club at a nazi’s teeth
I’m losing weight so it’s less stress on my taxed joints to exercise well. Using an under the desk elliptical for some light exercise. I will then go to the range to train more.
No. I injured myself doing BMX(ish) style street riding. Nothing too bad, but I will be off the bike and doing leg-only exercises for a week or two. I was also in a no riding zone, during graduation on a fairly capitalistic college campus, but hey, biking’s not a crime (and even if it was, legality != morality)!
A fascist practiced a skill today, did you?
I fucked my Achilles tendon. Staying home and feeling miserable.
Sorry to hear that. I’m in a similar boat (and have been there many times before, and will be there many times after). Heal up and feel better!
Thanks. Wish you a speedy recovery as well. Stay healthy.

Buy a pull up bar and elastic bands.
It’s fresh and the painkillers make me feel like I’m drunk. Maybe after a week.
This is an individualist approach, a productivist one and a validist one. I see you point : people shall prepare But the next question is : to do what ?
If you want to prepare to run: run if you want to prepare to climb : climb if you want to prepare to fight : fight
This not an RPG, muscles could act counter-productively (it’s weight more, and need more calories).
But most importantly, prepare to do it collectively. Some of us have the health and condition to prepare to do some of this, and may need to be recall that they have a responsibility to do so, because some of us don’t. Futhermore in most situations it’s better to be 3 people not well prepared than one fit. So take care of you community and make it grow
this reads like it was copy pasted from a translation app. What is a validist, productivist, individualist approach? its such a bizarre critique of a meme.
Is more an injonction than a meme ; it implies that we should “go to gym” to oppose to fascists. So it suppose that strong and athletics body are more valid for antifascism than the others. Gym, exercise and workout are more linked with work than with games : we try to improve our performances, making stats, having regularity and so on. According to Johan Huizinga in “Homo Ludens”, sports is the opposite of game, and is how the modern era twist games to match desires of productive bodies.
I’m not saying that sports, gym, workout, box, running are bad; if people enjoy it, it’s enough. However I think the the injonction is counter-productive. For every situation we may wish to have a shaped body they is a collective answer that more people participate : so it’s more inclusive and create more social link
This is the better version. Don’t need to go to a gym to exercise.
Thanks, I will add it to my meme folder
No, gyms are capitalism honeypots for fitbros
I work out at home with body weight and everyday heavy objects.
Also yoga.
a decently kitted home gym is surprisingly attainable if you can spare the space!
And there’s resistance bands, which if combined with a door anchor can replace weights for a fraction of the space and cost. A doorframe pull up bar would be the last piece of kit a home gym would really need when combined with the bands and calisthenics.
I use resistance bands as well. I’m not sure they’d be a replacement for my rack and all that but it’s a great place to start
This is the way
Sheesh talk about women’s privilege
“Just do some yoga or something lmao”

I don’t know how you can think this isn’t sexist garbage, but just the phrase “women’s privilege” is a red flag on it’s own. The implication that only women do yoga is insanely dumb and wrong.
This whole comment and every reply below it was insanely hostile and unnecessary.
bro men can do yoga too, what in the fuck kind of sexist bullshit are you snorting
Who said they couldn’t, dumdum?
Maybe you should read all the comments before you open your mouth.

You’re too manly to do yoga but not manly enough to cross social boundaries of your sex?
You’re too dumb to pay attention to what I actually said?
Yeah I suppose, so wgat did you actually say again?
Nobody is stopping men from doing yoga or calisthenics. Fuck societal expectations.
It’s not even a widespread societal expectation. It’s something this sexist troll pulled out of his ass because he was mad someone suggested doing yoga as exercise at home. Which he thinks is “women’s privilege” whatever the fuck that means.
Plenty of bodybuilders do yoga, and all body builders that want to wipe their ass without assistance do some calisthenics, that’s not the joke.
what
Sorry did you not hear?
Sheesh talk about women’s privilege
“Just do some yoga or something lmao”
thank you for being rude and not helpful
i was obviously asking, what the fuck do you mean, what does yoga have to do with women or privilege or womens privilege
They’re trying to imply or insinuate that men can’t do yoga, and saying that suggesting people do yoga is “women’s privilege” or some bullshit like that. I’m certain DragonTypeWyvern is a troll with nothing better to do than start trouble.
Bruh it’s $12 a month for planet fitness and it’s all aunties and uncs up in there.
1.5 miles in 15 minutes on the treadmill then the yellow room 30 minute circuit trainer with the lights… 15 minutes stretching in the isometrics room and we on our way.
Everyday, or at least five days in a week. Treat things like yoga biking and sports as “in addition to”
It was $15 per week at my local gym. Tbf a new gym has opened nearby since my last membership so it may be cheaper. But at $360 per year over a few years you can just start buying your own stuff.

Where am I gonna put it?
Out the back near where that mint is growing. (I don’t know if that link will work.)
All you need to be healthy is a bit of moderate exercise. It doesn’t matter what it is, so it’s best to pick activities you enjoy. Dancing, paintball, bouldering, hiking, whatever.
Not if your goal is the militant resistance of fascism. Which is what we’re discussing
gymbros? i assume because they often lean conservative asf.
Because weak leftist’s soy boys don’t exercise.
Source: I’m a weak leftist spy boy that doesn’t exercise.
Skip the gym. Work on your garden. Doesn’t matter how swole you are when the famine starts.
Said the guy that got murdered over his garden during a famine by the most swolen beast of the neighborhood.
That’s what the garden ornaments are for!
That’s what neighborhood militias are for.
God didn’t make all men equal. Smith and Wesson did.
Wasnt it colt?
No idea TBH.
The original quote was more like
“God made man, Samuel Colt made them equal”
So you now live in a world where you can’t leave the house without getting sniped.
Been that way for a while TBH
I never skip leg day. My leg extension PR is 365 lbs. I want my quads to be so strong that fascists’ balls vaporize when I kick them.
Oh yeah, I’ve ate almost everyday since I was in the womb. Now, I eat at least 2000 calories every. single. day. A fascists balls would vaporize when I lick them.
You should try kickboxing if you haven’t already
Yeah because we all know capitalists rule the world because they are the best at punching.
That said you should still go to the gym (or otherwise exercise) because it is good for you and you are important :)
does 16k steps and at home pilates count?
pilates is no fucking joke, yes it counts
Everything you do to better yourself counts as bettering yourself
Damn that’s a lot of steps. I usually feel good if I hit 10k. Good job.
