Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of March!
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- It's the first Sunday of the month. Is there something that you wish to accomplish or improve in March?
- Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week or month? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?
I'm wishing everybody a great March!

Which bodyweight routine are you doing? I'm still on the easiest routine from the bodyweight subreddit but I would like to expand it.
I've also been on Lexapro. My opinion on antidepressants in general is that they can't do much on their own. However, if you are taking them in combination with other stuff (therapy, exercise, journaling, meditation, and so on), then you can benefit from them and overcome depression![unity unity](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0246c1eb-e27f-4819-ad93-a26966563164.png)
I've been dealing with depression for a while now and do, or have done in the past, all of those parenthetical items which I think are all good things so I'm being hopeful. I haven't purely been wallowing in despair since being unemployed but the state of the world has caught up to me last month.
I don't really have a routine. I do have a lot of time at home so I've just been doing sets of squats, pushups, and planks at random points throughout my day lol. I found a nice counter app to keep track of my progress. I probably should dedicate time to doing a workout. I have a kettlebell workout I do but haven't been consistent at hitting.
the KB routine:
Warm Up:
Work
ps: at some point i'll figure out how to nicely format things on this site.
That's awesome, if you've done all of those things then you got this, it's just a matter of time. I think it's possible to bully your brain into giving you the good chemical by doing all of those things.
Thanks for sharing your routine, I'm always stoked to try new exercises. I'm doing the minimalist routine from the bodyweight subreddit:
6x Incline Rows 5x Incline Push-ups 6x Plank Shoulder Taps 10x Deadbugs 10x Supermans
