Supermutants I know it can be hard to keep a level head, or lopsided head in these times. And your Supermutant fitness buff is not immune to the joys of the attic being mess around while you're outside smashing garden gnomes with fence posts etc.
I have never denied that I suffer from mental issues. Actually, I do find it a part of me that I can never really see myself growing up without. Yes, it is hard, and there are days like today for instance, where you have NO idea why, but you just feel like it is more than just giant rats and other nasty's messing up what little semblance of order you maintain.
At the moment, I a medication free. I generally meditate, workout and just slip into the void of disconnection to get rid of any issues that may make me irritable or want to lead down paths that are usually full of one way gradiant's, punji pits and other things to stop you from going back to point A.
For example. This week, between a shitty work schedule, and the gym being in holiday hour mode, I only get 1 workout day unless I ditch work for a day, which almost happened this morning. Now, for someone who is used to having a strict regimen to avoid mental stress and irritation, this is like taking the candy away from a child, or a Mustang from a man going through midlife crisis. Both throw tantrums, whinge and cry in public. Neither of which is pretty.
So, what do we do about it? If you have had your regimen taken away from you, add on top of that you are probably reeling from a winter cold, or a summer sickie, then you have to find another option. Now, about a year or two ago that would have involved having thoughts of doing something stupid, which almost got me hit by cars not paying attention to people walking out onto the street that were not paying attention or were paying attention, depending on the day. Now, these days, I fire up the old comp, and find something to blow up/hack&slash/set on fire etc. And this is crucial. A lot of shrinks will lead you away from your little violent fantasies, and with a few of us, that is probably a good thing, but we do have to remember, that it is better that we take it out in virtual environments, and not in real ones. My opinion: If you need to release, do it where you can cause the least harm. So, I have Skyrim.
What do you Supermutants do when you need to let off steam, and have your regimen of fitness and awesomeness taken away? And if I hear one reply of sex/massage, you might see me sitting next to the mid-life crisis guy crying in public LOL. Take care my mutated friends. And remember, not only is fitness a key to a somewhat healthy body, it is an essential part of a healthy mind.

SuperMutant Fitness Post #1
To Yoga, or Not To Yoga?
As a SuperMutant, I had this question run through my head for years. I had heard about all the great things it does to your body, but, then you have the doctor who has seen more of you than anyone else will have, tell you it is not a good idea. This, was also from the same doctor that told dear old me, that I was too competitive to do any form of contact sport or winter sport.
Anyways, I digress. But as I said, you have to question quite legitimately the benefits of Yoga on the SuperMutant body. Remember, depending on your level of mutation, things may or may not be there, could also be in slightly different locations, or only partially there.
Now as those of us who have beaten around the world of flatbacks and normals, we kinda know what we can and can't do, but for you aspiring and younger Mutants, what is some good advice? Firstly, gauge how long you have lived with your mutation. If you are say 20 years old, and your mutation occurred at 15, therefore you get 5 years. Now, if you can say that you have been active for those 5 years, then I would say sure, give it a shot with your doctors consent, but you MUST ask the instructor if they are willing to work with you.
For us SuperMutants, those of us who have been around a while, or have had a longer mutation cycle than the whelps, then we can do it only if we can be sure that we have that extra awesome ability that mutation teaches us, ADAPTABILITY! Yes, I know it is a tough word to use, but, if you can't adapt to your mutation, then Yoga is not your best friend, I would probably downsize to middle aged Pilates Class, Tai Chi! Actually, Tai Chi is great for Mutants of all classification!
Now personally, I love my Yoga. Also keep in mind, you will have to mix with normals. Now, if you are like me, and are able to interact with Flatbacks and other classes of Normals, then you should be good. Best thing about doing Normal and Flatback activities, is when one of them come up to you and say good on you. It does put them at ease. Now also, if you are like me, and have grown a very warped and twisted sense of humour, which is about as twisted as my back, then chuckle just loud enough for the instructor to hear when they say, "I want to see a good strong back, take the dome out of your back!". When you get to know the instructor, throw in the response "well, I was hoping Yoga would fix that! or, Well, can you tell the others to take the flat out of their backs, I am mortified at all this normal".
Overall though, and in all seriousness, Supermutants, ask your Instructor if they feel they are qualified, or at least trained long enough to handle your mutation.
Now off with you all, I need my sleep, and feel the urge to throw heavy objects at people who leave their smelly shoes in the window while the wind blows in from outside.. And Normal's think we have barbaric manners!
