If you had to be in alaska for a few months and then Texas during the summer, can you set up a van to do that?

I have heard of leg day, arm day and ab day. I don't know if there are any more days to add. Should I break down arms down to chest and shoulders??

I want to try this because now that i'm in my mid 40's it takes me a lot longer to recover. When I was younger I'd only be soar for a day or two. Now I stay soar for days and I always feel like I'm on the cusp of pulling something. I think breaking it down so that I only do certain machines on certain days will be better for me.

Should I do only arms one day, only abs the next and then only legs the next day? There are more days left in the week though I feel like I need more body parts lol.

A neighbor of mine is upset because they lost contact with their friends in Iran when the regime shut down their internet.

Pretty much everything starts going down hill after 45 or 50 so how do you motivate yourself to go to the gym, improve your career etc?

When I was younger I could see that if I worked out I'd get an attractive body with flat stomach etc so that would motivate me to work out. I can't use that motivation anymore because realistically my body just doesn't look anything like that anymore and never will of course.

But working out is just ONE example.. I really want to know how to get motivated for EVERYTHING knowing that my mental sharpness and body is just going to decline no matter what I do. Working hard on anything seems to have less of a potential payoff than when I was younger.

I'm only now in my mid 40's starting to realize how much the way I was parented resulted in me having commitment issues.

I've always believe in the addage that once you're an adult you have to take responsibility for your own problems. But I wish I didn't believe that so strongly before. Because I think that if I was willing to just admit to myself that the way I was treated will affect me and my choices in life deeply, I may have gotten help sooner.

Since my own family is very untrustworthy I've been completely estranged from them for over a decade. I've had relationships over the years but often when they'd get too "clingy" as I saw it, I'd panic. Was told more than once that I'm a "difficult person to get to know' as I'm guarded.

Wanted to know if there were others like this or if I'm a rare bird.

When I see my to do list I get anxiety because I feel like I won't have the time to do enough- as a result I end up doing nothing and it's really impeding my life. So counterintuitive.

I know people say to break things up but that doesn't seem to work for me. I just still think I won't be able to catch up to where I'm "supposed" to be and get anxious.

I fully realize none of this makes any logical sense and yet- here we are. Any pointers?

Do I need to bring soap for the shower or is that there already?

Any unspoken rules I should know about?

Is it ok if I go up to a machine and stare at it for a while before using it? (Because I don't know how to use any of them)
