Clever handle, you know Salinger died today? Yes mix cardio up with lifting weights. I had not touched a weight really since high school football until I went to Iraq last year and picked it back up. I love it, it's a great stress reliever.
Yeah I heard, it's crazy how much of a recluse he became, but a damn fine author. First Vonnegut and now Salinger, those are my two all time favorite authors, but they both lived long, happy lives. So... Se La Vie.
I think I will work in some upper body stuff next time. I've always wanted to work out and it's just another reason not to do drugs so why not.
HoldenCaulflower: I started pretty much the same exercise routine coming off suboxone last year. Walk half mile, joj half mile, walk, jog. Some days just walk. Other days, jog until I couldnt breath anymore and I would go so hard I would almost throw up.. lol. It helped SOO much. Each week I would push it a little harder. Eventually a few months into sub w/drawal I began cardio kickboxing which is a FANTASTIC total body workout. Cardio and strength training at the same time. I would leave there feeling so beat up, but in a great way. Exercise really really really helps me through w/drawal including the depression part. Keep it up.
