I love Strong if you want to do free weights.

You can import programs (or it has some prebuilt ones). Most importantly - it shows you how to do every exercise in the library via a GIF embedded.

It’s very convenient even for an experienced lifter who wants to make sure the form is exactly correct.

Would recommend a good trainer. By good I mean someone who has been to college for health and fitness and works with athletes/lives and breaths fitness and wellness.

This will cost more in the short run but you will learn how to lift and recover properly and after a few months you’ll be able to do your own thing.

Making the investment will also force you to really get into it.

Does anyone here suffer from bipolar disorder? How do you manage it and working in law? I see a therapist, and a psychiatrist, and am on medication, but I still have days where I wake up and I’m so depressed I can’t move. I’m working on remedying this with my doctors, but how does one approach mental health issues with their employer? I never felt the need to until I realized how much being bipolar can affect my ability to work.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time. Outwardly, I don’t seem stressed so no one notices but actually I usually feel like I have a cold: fatigue, headache, sore throat, sinus infection. When a task is done, i stop feeling like crap. It’s been like this since law school. Any tips on managing stress or moving towards doing good work without my body shutting down lol?
