A Far-leftist safe space for those who want a healthy lifestyle and/or a journey of becoming fit. Please have fun and make sure to meet new friends and learn from each other! :))
Rules:
Follow site rules!
-
Leftists only!! Not a safe space for anyone who works with oppressive, capitalist forces, groups and communities.
-
No hate-speech. No justification for hate speech. No slurs, ableism, body shaming, etc. We must respect each other, and one thing that matters is acceptance, not hate.
-
Provide efficient, credible and helpful information. Any claim must be supported by scientific evidence and research. No false info that will harm a fellow comrade. Here's an example below of an instant ban.
Example: Recommending horse deworming pills to fight COVID-19

Posts about history regarding health and fitness in communist countries are allowed. Such as gym classes in the soviet era.
-
No sectarianism.
-
No giving oppressors, capitalist figures, imperialist figures, and fascist credit. It doesn't matter if what they said is actually helpful, do not give them any glory.
-
No low quality/off-topic posts.

Fitness memes are allowed but they must not be reposted numerous times. It will be an instant ban.

Walking and a stationary arm bike are both great places to start. Strength training is also a good idea for diabetes, bigger muscles can take up more glucose.
Aside from both of them.
Maybe you can do something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBBMg6Aci4Q Start very, very slow on the squats and lunges if you're deconditioned. You don't have to go all the way down when you're just starting out.
