Depresso/disability

I've lost so much strength and weight since lockdowns, various factors making it incredibly hard to eat enough and stay active. I can feel my hamstrings have tightened and my posture has suffered. The muscle gains I worked for are gone.

I don't want to go back to the light weights/exercise band and have to slowly earn years of progress back 😑 Doing anything is hard, being consistent feels impossible and most days I don't even actually want to be alive.

I guess I'll do 10 dumbbell rows on each side and call it a day because I can feel my spine fusing over like Mr Burns. 🍤

There's sitting yoga poses if that helps.

Maybe it will. It feels like I'm turning to stone

I can sort of relate. Fitness took a hit during lockdown then I got a shoulder injury and Achilles tendonitis. After a long period of six month rest I've been training again for 5 months. While things have improved, I'm a long long way from where I was, and it's depressing.

Yeah, I’ve got an old shoulder injury that flares too. It’s so hard to be back at square one (or worse)
