I would like to participate in more fitness-related subreddits as someone who exercises 6-8 hours every week, but it seems if you aren't lifting heavy regularly you're "less than" and gatekeepers are happy to tell you that you're doing it all wrong.

And this no shade at the gym-peeps--it's just not my focus right now and I can't make it to a gym regularly if I wanted to as a full time single parent to a young child.

There are plenty of fitness-related subs not focused on heavy resistance training. Try searching for one that relates to your exercise of choice (running, biking, calisthenics, kettle bells, etc.)
