beginner fitness

I have the motivation to go to the gym but I am scared. I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been due to medication. I know the gym I want to be at but am terrified of being too fat or someone catching me in their recordings or pics. I don’t know what to do to push me to actually go. I was a member at the...

Hi, I'm 50m and need to lose about 25 lbs. For the past two months, I've been running about 2m daily (M - Fri) and lifting weights/doing bodyweight exercises three days weekly (Mon - Chest/Back; Weds - Arms; Fri - Legs; Tues/Thurs - Abs). I've lost very little weight this way, although I feel...

I do PPL 6 days a week and they range between 1.5 hr to 2.5 hr(generally closer to 2.5hr). I do 7 exercises for legs, 9 for push, and 10 for pull. Sets are between 3-4 per. I’ve been told I do too much volume, but the only change I’ve made is doing incline bench and flat on separate days...

I lift weights 1-2 hours 5-6 days a week. so should i be consuming 180g of protein a day? it just feels like so much lol. with my current diet i eat in a calorie deficit anyway without even trying. broke people vibes lol. I normally eat 140-160g of protein so it’s not like i’m too far off. i...

Hello! I'm 37 f, 5'5 and 182lb and totally unfit! I've just started the gym and have been going 4 times a week for two weeks. I go between the rower, elliptical, bike and treadmill. Doing 10 minutes on each and then go home. But I'm trying to build this up. I have a bulging disc and...

This person would be messaging me through whatsapp everyday having me record my second rep and send to him so he can make sure I'm keeping proper form. He would also share with me foods to eat and have me take pics everyday of what I'm making for dinner to stay on track with my health. He also...

Hello, 15yo ~180cm ~50kg new to the gym here. I started 2 weeks ago, my uncle has made me a plan but today a guy approached me and told me some exercises arent the best for begginers. He gave me his plan made for people like me. Now im confused, which one is better? My goal is mainly to build...

I am a 50F and I have been going to the gym for about 2 years but I have taken it seriously the last 6 months. I have lost 16kg (35pd) and want to lose maybe another 3-4kg. I am at a stall now weight wise (I am 5ft 9in/175cm and weight is 150pd/69kg) and while I am reasonably toned for my age I...

I have recently purchased a gym membership and for the first two weeks I have only been walking on a treadmill every other day and nothing else (literally just low impact walking with 3.0 incline for ~30-45 mins). I feel like I am ready to up the intensity but I don’t want to run. I also want to...

Hi there! I’m from the U.K. and I’m 26 and trying to get into some good habits after a breakup. Since covid, I have tried to go on long walks regularly. However, whenever I try and do something more intense like cycling or running, I notice my legs tend to get “tired” or heavy much faster...

I am around 280 and want to get down near 220 because I work for a fire department. For the last month all I drank was water and I think lost a pound or 2 I’m wondering if there is anyway to speed it up? I forgot to mention I lift weight three times a week at the station.

29 184 pounds and I haven’t worked out in 4 years til I just moved to my new place that has a small fitness center and I liked the stairmaster. However when I work out on the treadmill my heart rate goes to 160-170 and it’s not even 2 minutes in the workout and I stop. I have bad health...

Brand new to this running thing. I’ve always wished I could be a runner, but I thought “ I suck at running.” Then I realized, I’m sure most people don’t start out good at running. I always tried to go full force, couldn’t breathe, and then would quit. I’ve tried the Couch to 5k app a few...

So I’m 16 and pretty short at 5’6-5’7 and weigh roughly around 170lbs 22% body fat with a good amount of muscle foundation. I was wondering if I could aggressive cut for a month and not have a severe impact on my height growth. Obviously it won’t last too long and I’ll still achieve around...

For me: Pull up bar/Rings. Parallettes. Elastic Bands. Are the Top 3!

Hi all, I’m new to lifting and am hoping for some input on my workout routine. I’m a 26 year old male, 6’0”, 162 lbs with very little muscle and a bit of extra fat. I’ve been doing this routine consistently for 1.5 months now, have lost 10 lbs during that 1.5 months (on purpose). At this...

Which would be better for building a strong/resistant body and good general fitness: 3x weight training (full body) with 2 days of pilates (doing 30 min of aerobics each day - running at an average of 8 to 10km/h on one day and jumping rope on the other) or 4x weight training (upper/lower with...
