beginner fitness

I am a 28 year old male. I'm 5'6 and weigh around 193 lbs. @ approximately 28% body fat. I'm currently running Stronglifts 5x5 and consistently go to the gym three days a week, every week. I've been lifting since January, with a three month break between March and June due to coronavirus gym...

So as the title says, I’m 15 and new to gyms. I’m trying to focus on building us muscle in mainly my arms so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations.

Hey all! I (m19) am trying to lose some weight. Based off of the MyFitnessPal app I should be getting 1580 calories a day and 79 G protein, but I’m having trouble tracking it. I’m on my college’s meal plan and while there is a menu online, it’s quite often inaccurate about what they have. For...

Hey y'all, I'm 20 (male) and relatively new to fitness. I've been trying to do some light bodybuilding stuff, and to that end I've been on a bulk for the better part of a year. My goal is vague but think something along the lines of a Baki/Bruce Lee/Modern Kumail Nanjiani sort of thing...

This might be a stupid question lol. Is there any sort of guideline for how fit you should be at your age? Like “you’re fit if you can run x miles and do x push-ups” or anything like that? I don’t consistently work out or anything because I do colorguard/winterguard. I might exercise a little...

5’4, f, 165 lbs, top heavy hourglass shape with a soft stomach, US size 8 i’ve been being more conscientious about my eating and working out since the beginning of the year; i climb 1-2x a week, try to do pole dance class once a week, and try to strength train 1-2 days a week. i’m noticing...

Hi all, I’m 36F, 5’4”, 220lbs. I’ve lost 66 pounds since late June 2023, so roughly 2 pounds per week by following an anti-inflammatory/Mediterranean diet and walking/hiking. I currently walk or hike for an hour or two per day 5-7 days per week. I genuinely love being outside in nature and...

I’m not necessarily new to fitness, but I’ve been skinny all my life, and have always wanted nothing more than to just gain some damn weight. No matter how much I eat, I don’t gain anything probably because of how freakishly fast my metabolism is. I’m a 20 year old, 5’6” male sitting at around...

I’m 21 male 6’1 height with 70 kgs but still look skinny I was develop myself and need suggestions please help me with it guys.

hey everyone, i’ve been trying to lift lately and i made a chest and triceps day workout and tried it today but couldn’t finish cause my arms were just done. is there something i need to change or just need to push through next time? shoulder press 3 x 10 lateral raise 3 x 10 chest press 3 x 10...

I’m 6 months into my fitness journey, and I continue to hear this all the time. I do a combination of strength training and cardio 5 days a week for 1 hour sessions. I understand that 1lb is 1lb whether it is muscle or fat, and that mathematically, I clearly am somehow still eating enough to...

I been following the push pull legs split and l have admit chest been looking nice and back been getting stronger but I feel like my arm area (shoulder, Tricep, bicep) aren't getting the lover they deserve. My question is; you think I should keep the same system but put all the arms workout out...

I’ve been going to the gym on and off for a long time with no progress and I’ve only now started to go consistently just a few weeks ago. I set up a gym plan with weights, reps, sets, etc. but I’m not sure if I’m hitting all the right muscles equally. Feedback and/or suggestions from more...

I do not like how my arms look, especially my forearms. I think they are weirdly skinny. I have been exercising regularly for almost 2 years now and I do pulling (lat pulldowns) and pushing (barbell and dumbell presses) exercises. With these exercises, I think my arms should have become bigger...

I (M13) have been going to the gym for some time and have gained muscle particularly in the upper back. However my ribcage is visble and I can't quite get that V-taper because of how it sticks out. If it helps I'm 5'9, 58.1kg/128lbs, and have a bodyfat% of 10.3% according to a beaten up scale...

I’ve been working out daily for almost 4 weeks now and have completely changed my diet. I went from drinking 2 20 oz bottles of Cola a day and snacking on Doritos, eating frozen pizza for lunch, lots of pasta, etc. I cut literally all of that out. I snack on mixed nuts, yogurt, or kale chips...

Hello r/beginnerfitness. I started doing strength training ~2 months ago following the GZCLP routine. UnfortUnfortunately, I fell into the beginner's trap / lifters envy and went too hard too fast, focusing on piling on the weight, compromising my form. Luckily I've now realized my mistake...
