  • I go the gym 3-5 days a week depending on how busy I am. I mainly start off doing a bit of cardio on the treadmill or bike and then lifting weights. If I have the time and energy, I end it with a bit of the stair machine as well.

    Please do share your experience/suggestions/opinions on the it and related topics like sports, calisthenics, general physical health etc.

    Different exercises/workouts are geared towards different things. What’s your goal from exercising? To lose weight? Bulk up? Just get more toned and have better muscle definition? Have better stamina? How you should be exercising depends on what you want to get out of it.

    Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

    I don’t think that’s a thing really. You can look up any kind of workout regimen online from anywhere around the world nowadays. It just depends on what you want to get out of it.

    How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

    Focus your meals on high protein foods. Meats, chicken, lentils, chickpeas, etc. If you’re doing intense workouts more than 3 days a week then supplement it with protein powder. Unless you’re looking to become some kind of professional athlete/bodybuilder/whatever, counting your calorie and protein intake is a waste of time (in my humble opinion). Just pay attention to your body, things like fatigue joint pain, etc. Be mindful of them.














  • It varies by region and country but the big underlying factor is not enough new homes are being built. It’s creating an artificial scarcity which is driving up prices. Some other factors come into play depending on where you live. For example, I’ve read in America that a lot of the homes are being bought by trust funds and big corporations that can just overbid everyone. Now there are even less viable homes to sell. Here in Canada, we have a big problem where our federal government brought in a large amount of immigrants for its Temporary Foreign Worker program and its foreign student programs which created a big spike in population, especially in the major cities. The local governments are responsible for house building and didn’t do anything about accommodating a bigger population despite them knowing it was coming.
