Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Yinny]

I purchased new shorts for running which are on the slimmer side combo’d a very baggy long sleeve shirt




I was even doubting myself til I took off my shirt

model for my pending line of Vani-Tees, launching soon!

Got up a sizable hill running earlier slight lower back pain inducing cut my ab work short


Alt biking and running/jog works for me, this weather is perf as long as I’m willing to float diff parts of the day

Do y'all take progress pics? Or just look at numbers?

Both. The scale and the measurements will be around the same, but my face will look more defined.



Is protein powder just for weightlifting? I mainly run and do pilates, but I am intrigued to try it if it will improve my overall fitness.

Wouldn’t say it will improve fitness. It’s a Nutriton tool

^This. I'll say it plainly: it won't improve fitness, and if Pilates is the extent of your resistance training I honestly wouldn't even bother.

It is simply a tool to increase your protein macros. If it's a weight gainer, it'll also increase your calories and carbs as well. It is no different than adding a can or so of tuna, or an extra piece of chicken.

Truly, the only benefit of proton supps is that it's often much easier (and sometimes more convenient) to drink something than it is to eat something.

Protons won't turn you into Captain Marvel, help you run longer, etc. An increase in overall dietary protein could improve body composition, but that's debatable and somewhat moot.

If you're not actively trying to build muscle, why would you want more protein? If you can't answer the underlined you definitely don't need it.

@Gully Bull gets to model for you even though he's like #Powda5 and I'm #Powda1?

Dap + Rep for the both of y’all.


I was truly curious because I follow an IG fitness trainer who promotes protein powders, but I wasn’t sure if it was truly needed for pilates.

I have some mild resistance (5-15lbs) but nothing extreme!

Excuse me for respecting your no progress pic and no tracking policy free to be a vani-teer!

Thanks.

But yeah, not, if you're not lifting weights, bulking, or tryna shred up I'd recommend you save your money.

Any extra protein will just be excreted through normal means (read: the toilet) and the extra calories might throw your diet off if you forget to account for them.

And 5-15 lbs is not mild resistance.

You must be still mad about them PAWG comments. Don't be mad, I'm an equal-opportunity dog.


But for the record, when you're #Powda1 you don't have to take measurements or progress pics.

Not all, just you and @Rawtid.
Don't let these white wimmenz ruin what was looking like a bea-utiful friendship.

As a reward for my consistent and good work, polishing off healthy din din with a great sea salt caramel and chocolate ganache from Costco, never been a dessert woman but I'm sure glad I am now

I had McDonald's for din din then skipped the gym.

Taking the #Powda now.

Thank you for the encouragement.
