@lovemachine L take on safety and education.

@jewsusmckwanzaadon They're just regular people, you don't have to read about them somewhere like they're rare New Zealand botanicals 😜. Really buff jerks is a movie stereotype character. Some people are jerks regardless of whether they lift weights. But I suppose most people want most people to...

@britanyashton Sometimes you have to address your fears directly. Having a home gym won't teach you how to use the equipment. I would hire a local personal trainer or work out with someone more experienced to learn. Having a home gym is convenient. I'd make sure you have a kettlebell. But don't...

@ampworship Lift heavier weights and learn how your body works

@ehuntington Work with a dietitian and start tracking some fun, easy health habits like walking more and drinking more water.

@kc316 Yes. You get tremendous benefits just from walking! My starter tips are: Drink mostly water. Work up to half your body weight in ounces per day Eat 5+ servings of fruits and veggies per day Walk 30+ minutes every day. Make it fun! You can build yourself up to these targets. Healthy...

@srdkr Swimming!

@boy243 You're describing a few different mindset challenges based on assumptions you're making. I think the best way to go about this is stop making assumptions about what you'll have to do, what it will take, and how hard it might be. Think about what you want. Then how you can make it...

@samuelperla you have to be specific about your goals. Do you want a lower number for your scale weight? Why? So you can fit more people in an elevator, so you can be a jockey, so you can make weight, so you'll be easier to carry? How did you select that to be your goal? Your diet is...

@insanelydisturbed I bet. I've only listened to his 30 30 30 video where he definitely made it up 😆

@aroah1015 If that guy's name is Gary Brecka, take his advice with extreme caution. Sometimes he just makes stuff up. Your pre-workout eating habits are about how you feel during your workout. I've had light breakfasts, 100 calories worth of gummy bears. Sometimes I just have a protein shake...

@heislove1980 Get a trainer to coach your squats, so you have less uncertainty around them. You can do leg press, but they're not as effective or beneficial as squats. It's investing in a skill for life. All the movements that require squatting, and actual squatting weight lifting. And it's a...

@lhenzkiey Yes. But I wouldn't say it like that. It's kind of like I like clean clothes, so I do laundry and find ways to make it enjoyable lol

@sparklepaws23 Think of why you want to workout. How working out improves your quality of life, the sense of accomplishment you feel after.

@itscw It's best practice to get a physical when restarting exercise. It will help ease your exercise anxiety. Regular anxiety is for a therapist. Considering the goal you stated, there's no need to make your workouts super hard for the first few weeks, or at all. Start gradually, enjoy...

@yellowking I think some core exercises will help. Unevenly loaded lunges, single arm presses, kettlebell pull throughs, bird dogs come to mind

@livingontheedge Don't focus on your core, especially not using sit ups as the standard. Get a physical. Then get a balanced whole body training program. You can do yoga or pilates or just walking to start

@fernandosn You're doing great! The best thing is that you love the workouts; that helps you stick with them. Number changes come slowly, but you're on the right track. Make sure your eating is on point, try to get 5+ servings of fruits and veggies per day.

@preciousklay this doesn't make sense to me at the moment. You have a training program including weights, but you want to taper off and not use weights? Do you want results? Why not go to a gym? Or get a kettlebell?

@greatbuss You're gonna be pretty tired at the end of these. I'd suggest 2 sets of the isolation exercises. I think bench, deadlift, pullups, squats is a better order. Deadlifts and squats on the same day is tough. Add in planks, bird dogs, banded side plank clamshells, or ab rollouts for...
