I started taking Creatine again. Had a 6 months totally off. Kinda weird, so have to take it slow.

@vincent Why do you take creatine if you don’t mind me asking. I think it’s good for muscle growth but I think I’ve heard some other reasons but can’t remember them. I’ve been curious.

@ChrisJWilson 3mg for muscles — especially great for recovery too. And I exercise a lot. Another 3mg is fantastic for cognitive reasons. I’ve been very zoned out and distant for years and taking extra creatine had a real impact for me. It also helps with sleep and recovery when I haven’t slept much. Some people say 10mg… but I find it’s personally a little too much. You won’t see immediate effects though, this is month long intake — although with sleep recovery it’s pretty quick for some reason. Fixed a lot for me — and exercise too (lifting heavy things).

@vincent Thanks for the info. Earlier this year I actually started working out again and taking some protein and I’m happy with the benefits (being able to play and lift kids without feeling absolutely exhausted is great!) but I thought creatine has some mental benefits too. I just need to find a new gym now I’ve moved.

@ridwan @vincent I signed up for Fitbod and used it’s suggestions. Super easy and started really light. Maybe not the best program but it worked for me. There are probably other good apps out there but Fitbod worked for me. I might even have a referral code.

@ridwan @ChrisJWilson start basic. Same exercises. Simple dumbbell curl, body weight stuff. 10 mins every other day. Will go a long way. Want me to draw something up for you and send you something?

@ChrisJWilson I have got Fitbit Premium as part of my Google One subscription. They seem to have a few good workout plans.

@vincent I have got Fitbit Premium as part of my Google One subscription. They have some basic workout plans. Cheers for help. For me, it is just that I need to pick up the dumbbells for a start. 🤣

@ridwan I’m driving to your house! 😛

@vincent haha! I need that kick in the butt! 🤣🤣
