    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.

      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

      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”

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 :)

    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)!

    Nope.

    I exercised outside in the heat like an idiot. Not for exercising outside, but doing it in the heat while my AC wasn’t working.

    Its working now at least, which is why I’m outside to get sweaty again after my warmup.
