fitness @hexbear.net ratboy [they/them] @hexbear.net Good recs for physical therapy type content on the internet?
For the past couple of years I've been extremely sedentary and I am definitely noticing how that's taking a toll on my body. I think I had imbalances and such before but now they are glaringly obvious; one shoulder higher than the other, one hip/glute is tighter than the other, same with calves, etc etc it goes on and on. I wanna try to address this stuff, so if anyone has any pointers or resources that they find helpful for mobility/strength/flexibility that would be dope.

fitness @hexbear.net RedWizard [he/him, comrade/them] @hexbear.net I have one day a week for maybe 45min at a gym...
For context: there was a time several years ago where I went 3 days a week doing a lifting routine. I think my heaviest dead lift was maybe 140lbs.
Two kids later, hernia surgery, and a change in position at work that has me sitting way more (used to do solo IT work for multiple buildings, now I have a team and do mostly back end admin work), and I've lost all my gains and put on about 20lbs.
Kids are more manageable now solo, and I'm looking to hit the gym every Monday I can.
How do I maximize this time?
Thanks in advance comrades!

fitness @hexbear.net LGOrcStreetSamurai [he/him] @hexbear.net A positive reminder to everyone trying to level up their fitness, "trust the process"
This kind of a public self-reminder, but I just want everyone to remember that fitness is literally a journey. It may not feel like to today or tomorrow, hell not even next month, but you're going to see positive changes and improvement. I mean this in the least "hustle culture" way, but keep grinding everyone.
