    I haven't been working out lately , definitely not with any consistency. I can get into a routine for awhile — I think the best streak I've had so far is 2 months but usually it's 1-2 weeks, then something happens (I get focused on something else, I get my period and die for a couple days, I just forget) and working out ceases to exist as a concept in my brain. I have pretty bad adhd which is why this happens, but I'm completely incapable of adding things to a daily routine and if I do something that requires rest days it's even worse, everything becomes a rest day.

    Normally I do dumbbells or body weight exercises, I live in a small apartment in a city and can't really do much outside.

    Does anyone have any advice for, like, remembering to consistently work out?

      The only thing that really helped me with that is training with a zealous comrade who will remind you and punish you with penal squats, should you ever miss a workout on purpose.

        Ah thanks! I don't really have anyone who could be accountability buddies in person but I'll see if I can find a distance friend or a comrade who can help me out

      Become hyper focused on lifting and think about nothing else worked for me
