Gym Motivation Activated
Working out in the gym does come with risks. The benefits outweigh the risks and I urge you to talk with your doctor before exercising to make sure you are as safe as possible. Use what I am blogging at your own risk.
Cannabis does conflict with medicine and medical procedures. With any herb, cannabis is an Herb, talk with your doctor before using Cannabis or any herb or fruit. (I talk about bananas too). Again, use what I am blogging at your own risk.
Over consumption of cannabis? Chew on peppercorns to come down. Also learn about micro-dosing. Again, talk to your doctor before consuming cannabis.
My workout routine starts on the elliptical. I do the elliptical for 15 minutes then go on the shake plate for 10 minutes then back on the elliptical for another 15 minutes. The shake plate helps with muscles tightening.
Being obese I was able to use FSA for weight loss medication and gym equipment. I got a letter of medical necessity from a doctor which allows FSA / HSA money to be used. FSA/HSA has tax benefits, plus is helpful to have increasing options to manage my own care my way.

When working out I listen to Spotify for adrenaline boost. You can follow me here to see what I am listening to.

I use TRX, weights, bench, outdoor steps or a stepper platform depending on weather, bands and sit-up incline bench or equipment for reverse sit-ups in our home gym. TRX can be attached to a fence, door or squat machine. We got ours through Planet Fitness when we were members. No location near us and available time is limited so we have a home gym now. We did like Planet Fitness for the equipment, massage table and red light machine which is great for skin.
I use THC-V Cannabis to help with muscle pain, range of motion and I get a better workout. THC-V makes me not interested in food while increasing energy.

I drink lots of water and use FitnessPal app to track calories and MACROS. I drink alcohol very rarely if at all. If I want the relaxation of alcohol without the alcohol, I add CBG strain cannabis to my water or juice or take a quarter or half of a gummy. Whole gummy makes me sleepy. Alcohol makes the body retain water and isn’t good for the liver while shedding. I used alcohol as a blood thinner but lately I take fish oil which makes me burp allot but it is better than a blood clot.
Talk to a bud-tender about dose. They are trained and full of knowledge. There are cannabis college courses at actual colleges.
I freeze bananas that are too brown and add a banana in the blender with whey protein and water which makes a delicious shake. Better than using the small hand mixer the blender makes the shake more frothy.
I did take a NASM Personal Trainer course since I was tired of injuries from inexperienced trainers. Being obese I use the weight bench to do pushups to keep weight off the heart. (I put my feet on the floor and hands on the bench. Working out flat on the floor can put too much weight from fat on the heart I learned in Personal Training class.) When I am no longer obese and stronger I will move to the floor. I try to get 10,000 steps but I found dancing gets me there faster. -shake shake shake….~
I think that is it. I hope that helps and you are inspired to get fabulous. We all start somewhere… except for the natural beautiful ones… ~playful grumble inserted~
