Am I the only one who wishes there was some combination board of /fit/ and /lit/?

Where are all the warrior poets? Healthy body/healthy mind. I feel that these two subjects are inherently linked together.

Maybe this is that thread? Fitness and literature discussion thread?

My favorite thing is going for long bike rides into the woods and then throwing myself onto a bouncy bed of grass to read.

Sounds like you wanna do the whole ''break the mold/stereotype'' thing and get the benefits of two completely distinct social habitus that are largely incompatible for a reason

Look, just fit into a god damn role, will you? Life will be easier, trust me

"Franz Kafka was a fanatical Müller follower. He would do the movements, fully naked, in his window, twice each day, whirling his arms and twisting this way and that, practicing the same hops and isolations advocated with similar vigor by my family. Indeed, My System became an integral piece of Kafka's obsession with the body. When Müller's women's pamphlet was published, in 1913, Kafka sent a copy to his fiancée, Felice Bauer, recommending she pick up a daily practice as well. 'If they bore you, it shows you are not doing them properly,' he wrote."

Agreed op. Not sure why the link is there but it is. I often read aloud and gesticulate. Do aggressive tribal dancing with javelin and/or kaba knife before writing, read in yoga positions etc.

Reading mantains a healthy mind. Of course, it all depends on how willing you are to change the course of your thoughts. Most people on /fit/ are not healthy, though.

That sounds really feasible if you're in high school

I was with you on this. The kid is just another special snowflake. zomg i lift and take care of my appearance but also study STEM and read litearture! Okay, pal, join the club.

But then you said:

>are largely incompatible for a reason

And totally justified this dork's belief that he is a special snowflake.

Most of your favourite writers were most likely smokers or alcoholics.

Honestly /fit/ is largely masturbatory and unnecessary.

So is /lit/, but there is the occasional good thread where you can get some recs

There's also the fact that people who lift are much less susceptible to bodily injury later in life than those who don't.
