"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Running the puppy?

Is running every morning (when you wakeup) with a puppy (lots of energy) considered good cardio?

I recently got a puppy, and he loves running around for aslong as I'll let him... He'll run, then jog, then run... So I figure it's fairly similar to HIIT (or something along those lines).

Is this good cardio?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yeha, they say it's better to run 1st thing on an empty stomach. Burns something like 3 X the calories...

That is true.. but it also burns 5 x the muscle.. eat a something before you do cardio..
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

If you run as soon as you get up, remember to do a good warm-up/stretching becuase your body has been realitevily inactive for the past 6-10 hours (sleep).

Why does running in the morning use more calories?

Thats exactly why you SHOULDN'T stretch at such a time. Just run slowly at first then run a little faster. Stretch at the end of the run.

It burns more calories since you have had no food for an extended period of time.

Your body will not "burn muscle" because you did not eat anything...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

But if you don't have enough calories and/or fat to burn, your muscles will be the fuel for themselves, and catabolism (spelling?) will occur. That's bad.

You don't burn more calories. Running x distance at y speed is always gonna cost your body the same amount of energy. The only difference is that without food in your stomach your body uses alternative sources as fuel. This means breaking down fat reserves and potentially some muscle tissue.
