I have a weird fitness situation
Little intro- I generally like to workout and stay fit. I also try hard to eat clean but given my volatile fluctuation in weight (>5lb) I have a feeling I am not as disciplined when it comes to diet. Past couple of months i have been training Muay Thai and I am sorta the just average in my gym, the rest of the people are like super good! I have been training for about 7 Months now and I really enjoy it, I do go running once in a while. I try to train like 5x/week each 2 hours per day. Two reasons - 1. This place is pretty expensive (I have never paid for gym ever before) 2. I think going everyday or frequently will make be better. Here is the real challenge: I have no social life, I have made some friends in the gym but most often I am just there to workout. I don't schedule dates in the week, I don't do meetups in the week and pretty much put off anything in the week and Saturday (I do an intense two hour and so tired by this point). When I do schedule a date and turns out it's bad, I am so guilty of not working out. Weirdly people who come to my gym practically live there! I am a 30 something female in tech and look fit. Not like those fitness models, but fairly fit. Any tips or suggestions or is there anyone like me? The question is: how can I balance workout and work and at the same time socialize.
I was once like that. But then I had to find balance. I recommend doing something random on Eventbrite. Where are you located
Did it get to a point all you did was spend time in the gym? San Jose
Yes. But there is only so much your mind and body can take. You need that social interaction.
I’ll be honest, but I thought this was a guy until you revealed yourself. What’s your question here though? Tips on what?
Ahhh okay!!! Q - I want to socialize and workout (this is sorta important) and turns out I just don't :(
I work out 1.5 hours from 6a-7:30a 6 days a week Sunday is rest day and weekdays I crash at 8:30p so same. 2 weekends a month, 4 days I fully commit to doing social activities no gym at all to catch up with friend drink chill. If you can squeeze in 2 weekends a month or 2 weekends every 6 wks I think it’s good start and work up there. Social life is feedback the more you go out and meet ppl the more ppl you have to go out with.
Use hinge
Just do a better job of time management and of defining goals. It seems like you're trying to accomplish somebody else's goals. Take control of your time and resources gal.
I guess. I need to revise my schedule
These Indian guys writing posts pretending as white girls really like their inbox RIP
Get a hold of yourself mate.
Yes op you can be white girl if you want to Michael Jackson did it all you need is money
Slide on into my DMs bby
thirty something fit female in tech with no social life 🤔. Working out like that is good. Just find out what people have planned for the weekend or let guys know you are looking to do something. The first suggestions may be lame, so to avoid guilt of missing gym, keep pinging people, until they present options that are worth your time to go to.
Establish a ratio, stick to it. “Every 3 workouts I’ll go out once” or whatever it is. Motivation to keep both areas in balance, and you make the decision at an objective, rational time.
Thanks! Sounds about fair and will keep me motivated
Agree this answer is a winner
Another option is to solve both problems at once by joining a club, e.g. the Seattle Athletic Club. Those places are more than just a gym if you take advantage of their activities. More expensive too, but they can have much more activities to offer.
Yea. Go troll ur gym buddies. Get off of blind! Also leave TC before getting tfo
How has TC gotta do anything here?
Fine. Don't.
