I've found periods where I've gone to the gym have been characterized by improvements elsewhere too. But then either the novelty of going to the gym wore off or life circumstances changed (move house / workplace etc) and gym stopped. That's gotten me like 3 times now.
Come to think of it in uni when I first started going to the gym coincides with the semester I actually got a D+ and a D- because I got distracted by going to the gym and chasing girls.
Mixed bag. Keen to start up again though, I do think it's helped when I can manage.
- gaustin 6y agoBefore I make a change in residence or work, I have a plan for continuity of good habits. Sign up for the new gym. Figure out where going will fit into my likely future schedule. Set an explicit period of lapse due to the effort of moving (or whatever life change is disrupting the norm). Of course that is in an ideal situation. Sometimes you don't have enough notice for this (COVID stay-at-home threw me off).

- JeremyNT 6y agoTry picking up a routine that doesn't require a gym. If you've got a pair of running shoes and a pull up bar in your house, you have no excuse any more :)
