"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.
Weight on my ass?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
#1 leg thrusts - get on your hands and knees (i love saying that) and then kick one leg straight back. bring it back and kick the other one out. that is one rep. aim for 50 at first then work your way up. if your doing enough, you will notice a difference the next day.....in how funny your walking that is.
#2 wall squats - lean against a wall and squat. you can increase the difficulty by using one leg then switching to the other.
these exercises work wonders but they are just part of the equation. you will also need to do cardio at least 3 times per week and decrease caloriac intake. your cardio session should last between 30 and 45 minutes because the body takes at least 20 minutes before it uses up its readily available energy and starts dippin into your fat storage. the cardio can be anything that increases heartrate (excluding drugs) from biking, running, playing football with your boys, or anything else that increases heartrate. good luck

i started running 6 laps around a track field (400 meters) 4 days a week
second week, I had to do minim of 8 for 2 days, then 10 for 2 days...
after about 6 weeks... I was running 5-7 miles a day (24-28 laps)- 3 days a week.
Im into boxing--need the cardio.
My best advice would be to get very familiar with a jump rope and wind sprints.
The primary energy systems used by boxers and other combat athletes are the anaerobic ones.
Training to specificity, if I were training to be a boxer instead of MMA, working with the context of 3 minute rounds, I would do 3.5 minute speed runs, actively recover for a minute, then do another 3.5 minute speed run, etc.
Some of the "renegades" in boxing(such as Enamait) tend to agree with such an approach, but it does go against the Rocky image of a morning jog everyday.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
