  1. 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.

  2. More magic wood climbing, this time by night!
    This was the same trip, just posting late.

    This is Kanonärohr (6c).

  6. Got back to U-Boot after 2 years (!!)
    Got it on my first try, after doing the top out a couple of times.
    Then I tried Atom-U-boot (7a+), which I couldn't get started on. The next day we went back and I got it after only a few tries!

    Anyway, this is u-boot. The video is sped up (x2) for the traverse.

  9. Levelled up my #HomeGym by hanging a #FingerBoard from my pull-up bar. Now I can focus more on #climbing when going to the #bouldering gym.

  10. 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.
