Similarly, just showing up at the gym/hobby/sport is huge. Even if you do next to nothing.

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.

How do you stay injury free climbing every day? I feel like at even twice week I am entering the danger zone with ligamentisis.

[HalfCrimp]

I suspect they mean "days that I deal off" rather than "every day". Even elite climbers struggle with ligament issues climbing every single day

[renjimen]

Name checks out! Your clarification makes sense on a second read. Thanks

[Insanity]

Yeah I definitely meant on days I feel off, and not that I climb every day haha. My body wouldn’t allow me to do daily climbs :)

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. :/

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."

Start again.

I’m cycled almost ever day for a few years them took a 6 week holiday where we walked 15-20k steps per day. I thought that I’d be ok when I got back on the bike.

I was not ok.

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.

[irishcoffee]

I think I recognize your handle, and I’m not sure we agree on much, but because of your comment I’m seeing a friend I haven’t seen in a decade. I sincerely thank you for the nudge.

[idontwantthis]

I'm glad I could help! Do you mean you recognize my handle from previous interactions on here or in another setting? I haven't used this one anywhere else.

[irishcoffee]

Just here. I’m not a prolific World Wide Web traveler.

Atomic Habits is a great book for little things like this that make a big difference when compounded with time.

[Nevermark]

I imagine reading a book about habits every day for a year would be life changing. :)
