Reading this made me reflect and realize how much my thoughts and time are directed toward fitness-related stuff, in the living and reading, etc. I don't use apps for any of that but it is a huge part of my waking day, I just don't talk about it at all. I had a solid nine months from 2022 into 2023 when I was hitting the gym 5 days/week on top of doing stuff outside and then the schedule changes related to my poet laureate stuff derailed me a bit, so I've reworked how I get my intensity in to be something, as I head toward spring and so much more activity, that I can do on the road.
Anyway, my current read related to this: The Comfort Crisis, by Michael Easter. Has it hit your radar? I'm enjoying it. There are parts where you can tell Easter used to be a Men's Health writer but even that isn't overly tedious. Also I should mention this dude is coming from a place of extreme privilege and it shows, but there are nuggets here.
