a stranger i once talked to at the gym told me "every workout is better than the workout you are not doing" and that kinda changed my perspective on that topic.
Yeah I go bouldering even on off days to “stay in the rhythm”. And I do have honestly terrible days where I feel I’m struggling climbs of even a grade below my comfort level, but at least I went lol.
I didn't go to the gym a single day for November and December and it was heart-breaking when I started again in January how much I had set back. But slowly I got back to a good rate again.
A week ago someone asked why I was going to the gym that evening and I said, "Because it will make going tomorrow so much easier."

How do you stay injury free climbing every day? I feel like at even twice week I am entering the danger zone with ligamentisis.
I suspect they mean "days that I deal off" rather than "every day". Even elite climbers struggle with ligament issues climbing every single day

The best form of exercise is the one you can consistently stick with.
For me, that got shot down in flames over the winter because I kept getting sick. :/

Start again.
Atomic Habits is a great book for little things like this that make a big difference when compounded with time.
I imagine reading a book about habits every day for a year would be life changing. :)
Someone said it, I forget who: 90% of life is just showing up
Especially true for friendship. If you want friends, all you have to do is be in the same place with the same people regularly.
