  • Gave up on gym membership already. Switched to home workouts (check darebee website and youtube) I feel way better with this compared to the gym. You cant have noodle arms also, so get reasonable dumbbells to grow your arm muscles (they are effective and easy to store also)

    It s 40min at most daily from home workouts so you need less mental energy to get to it (compared to: prepare backpack, go to gym, interact with people, go back). I am on the Avatar Upgrade program.

    I add early morning walks and occasional hikes to spice things up.

    • The positive impact was only noticed when you play a variety of games under different setups and not when you master a single game and play it a lot
