Despite sleeping like crap currently, I dragged myself to the #bouldering gym this morning, as I had a way too long break already *again*. This year is a lot so far...
Anyway. Strength could have been better, but that will come back. The most important thing is that I went and that I climbed.

How much of your bouldering project is a physical bottleneck, and how much is a mental block?
Anxiety doesn't just make us hesitate; it actively restricts our ability to think creatively and see alternative "beta" on the wall. When we reframe that racing pulse as excitement and focus strictly on the puzzle, the performance shift is massive.
Check out our deep dive into the neuroscience of the send:

Research shows that priming influence perceived difficulty.
In bouldering, Psychological Priming is the phenomenon where a prior stimulus (like reading a route or a specific warm-up ritual) modulates your cognitive and behavioral response on the wall.

CW: What's a good sport for starters if you're overweight an poor?
Ideally something I can do with my #dog. And if it's a team sport or something you do in a group, it should be something lots of queer-friendly people do (dressing room issue and all that).
I currently weigh more than twice my usual weight (correction: "almost", not "more than) and very much lack stamina.Okay, that's all for the question, now I'll just list what I did in the past and my thoughts about doing that again.
#running: For a short time I was quite the long distance runner and very motivated. I was 18 and the laps I ran got much longer from day to day.
I just talked about that with my therapist and now I'm really motivated to do that again and it's something I can do with my dog.
I know I have to start really slow and improvement will come a lot harder this time. I remember I ruined a lot of running shoes and they were not cheap. Now with my weight they will be destroyed even faster and I need good shoes to spring my weight.#biking: I did a lot of that all my life until about 5 or more years ago my bike got stolen. I currently have a really bad bike - just enough to get started at all again, but if I really want to do this more again, that will cost a lot.
#hiking: Definitely something I could do with my dog and probably better for footwear than running. Downside: Takes a lot of time.
#basketball: I played as a kid and I loved it. Apart from running this was the only sport where I pushed myself to go on even if I was out of breath. Can't imagine to do this now until I get more fit.
I once did a course called #FreestyleMoves (preparation for #FreeRunning and #pacours).
That was really great, but also not for now.#yoga: Probably a good idea to start again soon.
#FloorExercises (more concrete: #BodyWeightExercises) Can't hurt either. My "specialty" were #handstands. Wonder if I could still do one.
#climbing: In a hall, two meters high, without a rope, there's a word for that. (I was told it's #bouldering) Too heavy for that atm.
#FitnessCenter: I even went to one of those for a while and was quite muscular - sixpack and all.
(addendum: I was reminded in the replies about #swimming and #NordicWalking. I did both of that too in the past and might try again - good stuff.)
(Also, I just remembered: #juggling: Great for doing whenever I have a little time and don't want to break a sweat.)
Yeah I did quite a lot of #sports for some phases of my life (might even have missed some) and I would love to get #fit again, #LoseWeight and get a #routine.
Meeting other people while doing that would be another plus, but as I said: only in a queer(friendly) community.
