Staying Loose

-

 As you read in the title, this blog post will be about flexibility and various stretching methods.



Flexibility refers to the body's natural range of motion, it is a part of fitness that should be taken seriously, just as every other part. One of the biggest misconceptions about flexibility is that you need to be thin to be flexible, or that you lose muscle mass when you stretch. To this statement I just laugh. The benefits of high flexibility and regular stretching include fewer injuries and less pain, improved posture and balance, and you overall feel better.



Despite the absolute insane amount of stretches there are, they usually fall into one of 2 types. 

Dynamic - which revolves around using repetitive movements.

Static - Which revolves around holding certain positions for a certain amount of time.

The best is to have both types incorporated into your daily routine.

 What's up readers, it's that time of the month. For this rendition of Anime Rec/Rev I want to talk about an anime that went darker than even I expected, BanG Dream! Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast. Synopsis  Ave Mujica, the band to which Sakiko Togawa invited the members, was achieving commercial success through live performances and media exposure. A girl who had lost both the friends she had vowed to share her fate with and the house where she was born and raised. For what purpose does she bear the burden of another person's whole life and continue the band? She hides her past and her true face behind a mask, and tonight, she descends into the perfect miniature garden.

Takopi’s Original Sin by Taizan 5  is a compact but powerful story, originally serialized in two volumes between late 2021 and early 2022 and later adapted into a six-episode ONA in mid-2025.

Their first human friend, Shizuka , is a vulnerable 9-year-old escaping bullying and familial neglect.

However, what follows is far from a simple rescue mission: - A timeline where Takopi commits an accidental murder, - Shizuka spiraling into destructive behavior, - The breakdown of fellow classmates like Marina  and ...
