@godisworking101 I just wanted to add one recommendation: cut out the TV watching during your lifting sessions. It significantly reduces your efficiency. It's also better to be in the present. During rest times it's a good practice to focus on what you're doing next, and think about how your...

@ilovemyfather Surprisingly it's pretty chill. What really helps is completely removing my car commutes. 7-10 minute bike ride for school dropoff and office is a huge luxury, and working out at home makes it easy to schedule in workouts.

@ilovemyfather You'll get more resilient and conditioned over time over the years, and won't need a break/nap right after working out. Minimize time transitioning to working out. Home gym is key for me. See r/homegym for ideas. When I work from home I literally turn around from my computer and...

@ilovegod777 Keep it simple. The best thing to invest in is time. Consistency is better than the perfect plan. Be kind to yourself along the way.

@silverflame This is the hardest part of making changes. There's a wealth of information and guidance out there. My advice: focus on nutrition first, build some good food habits, and get out of the feedback loop of using food for stress-relief. For the fitness/training side, get into the...

@kjvbible1611 Probably not a useful answer, but my online trainer was my in-person trainer for a few years before I had to relocate for work. Because we had worked together pretty closely it was really easy to switch to remote training. He gets the training data that I fill out after every...

@redeemedsinner Having gone through this, here's what I know to be true It's hard It's still about priorities. Your kid is now a new priority Communication with your partner is key Things will have to change. Could be your fitness goals, or how you achieve them. Suck it up and get it all...

@defd2000 When I had a dedicated garage gym I had horse-stall mats, but I don't recommend that. I'm now in a smaller place with my gym in my office room. I have a synthetic-wood floor which is good enough for lifts. With bumper plates I'm not worried about messing up the floor, and I don't drop...

@defd2000 On purely training/fitness: $60/month for personal trainer (online) $24/month for Peloton membership home gym: no monthly cost On sports/physical activities: too much. Ironically the better in shape we all get, the more physical activities we are able to do, which means more...

@hercrazierhalf I get you, but this isn't fitness issue. It's a workplace culture issue. Make sure your boss knows you're doing an excellent job and you can basically do whatever you want when you take a break. And it's fine to bring tofu to eat but don't grandstand it and make it a work...

@abstractrythm234 Yeah exactly. Your break is your business. If someone asks, fine, but there's no benefit to soapboxing on it.

@jbrad01x Totally agree. To this I'll also add: "and if that person promises results in an impressive amount of time, it's definitely a scam".

@dawn16 Roll up the (unopened) pack of cigs in your sleeve for effect while you do pushups.

@sharkbait13 Yeah I've been between keto and low carb for 4+ years. Meals basically look the same as a general meal just a bit more protein and veg, no pasta and bread, no dessert. The extreme fat overloading doesn't quite work and probably isn't sustainable for toilet paper reasons.

@sharkbait13 I think the excessive sat fat comment is towards the extreme keto followers. I largely do low carb and keto-ish myself but some keto people go down the path of maximizing fat consumption which isn't correct. Like you said it's hard to eat a stick of butter anyway.

@psalms91forme If you can't change nutrition you won't lose weight. Simple as that. I'm asian too. What you feel is a constant/given...how much of that is actually true?
