    Resting and Overtraining: How can you tell when fitness is affected?

    @babe20042004 Ok, so you have 2 weight training sessions, 2 times HIIT, a daily walk, and sometimes some extra activity? Unless you have a physically very very demanding job or are really really lean (bf < 10%), I doubt there is any chance you're overtraining honestly speaking. It is great, and...

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @jake99901 No, sorry, there is zero possibility of spot reduction. Working out specific muscles, does not make the local fat disappear (same as doing sit-ups does not give visible abs if they are still covered with a lot of fat on them)... Getting thights and glutes in better shape is weight...

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @jake99901 The simplest way is to just get started, please note, it should not be perfect, just consistent! Just start with CICO, track everything, ensure your in a deficiency and just get it going. During the journey you can always later optimize. Just track everything, even if you went to a...

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @jake99901 No, there is no one app that is suitable to track it all sufficiently enough for those relevant metrics. It is a lot less work than a dexa scan and bloodwork every few weeks. Basically, get an app to track CICO and get a solid workout plan (neither have to be apps). Start with CICO...

    @yeshuabride Not sure if I agree with this. It all depends on the person... weight tracking can have the same issues people have a unhealthy relationship with their weight...

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @yeshuabride Agree woth that. Only do it if it does not add additional stress around measuring it (however, the same also applies for weighing your body weight, which is for some people a stressor...)

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @mynamechef Yeah, agreed and also, you don't have to track perfectly to get the proper results unless you do it for an Olympic qualification game, but those folks have a staff that enables them to it. Just to get a lean beach body doesn't require weekly medical check-ups as OP plans, that is...

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @mynamechef You don't have to be perfect. Not sure where you based, but 30% off is not allowed in the EU where I live. Furthermore, the best thing to prevent off label issues: eat wholefood without labels. For ultra processed foods, you're 100% dependent on a label. Those happen to be the...

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @jake99901 No, because it is nonsense to do your blood work and Dexa scan biweekly or even monthly. The changes are that small that simple things like amount of fluid drinken that day can influence the results and since the chamges are that small it can give you a nonsense result. Just to give...
