fitness after 30

I am going to take a blood test, I narrowed the list to these tests. What do you guys think? Which ones are redundant? What should I add? Should I stop taking supplements like creatine,p.powder, quercetin, maca root, biotin, vitamin D, zinc, ashwagandha, and boron? 220lbs 30yo natty male. Just...

Currently weighing in just under 300lbs and I’m considering joining a local CrossFit gym to help get myself back into shape but really for what I perceive to be a community aspect. But im concerned it might be too intense considering my size. I’m not a complete newbie to working out as I used...

I exclusively ran on one treadmill at my gym and honestly I struggle running at the 7.1 speed. Today my treadmill was taken so I hopped on the other treadmill that was a little smaller and smoked that mile at a 7.1 speed. On the big treadmill I struggle on I felt like I was taking some longer...

Het everybody! So back a couple years ago, I went from couch potato to quite well trained by working out 6-7 times a week and being extremely strict with my diet (2350 kcal a day of 100% clean food). This gave me amazing results which can be seen with a quick search through my profile here for...

Around April this year, I (34M) got back into the gym after being severely overweight for a long time. Have lost around 35lb so far, and somewhere down the line got into a little bit of running (like once or twice a week for 3-4 miles; ran 10k twice). Right now, I feel the strong and agile...

If you didn't see my other post, I find DeShun Wang motivating! I'm 58 and I've been without an ACL in my right knee for 35 years, so it's a bit tricky... I also have something wrong with my right shoulder that is most often annoyed/injured by movements like military press. As you can imagine...

Hi all! As the title states, I am a pretty big guy, but I would like to think that I am in reasonably good shape and have decent lean muscle mass (body fat varies from 13-16% this past year). I wear size 38 pants that fit pretty loose and usually fit onto an XL t-shirt, if that helps. I have...

I work in an office job that can be very demanding with lots of emails, report writing, presentations, meetings, commuting, etc. Unfortunately, I know that I am amazingly more productive when I have sugery snacks (like x2-3 more productive). I am more alert, think more clearly, digest complex...

I feel like some of the fitness subs are some combination of toxic or stupidly dogmatic when it comes to barbell squats, deadlifts, bench, and OHP as the solution to all strength and mobility issues. I bench, am working on single leg kb rdls, and do belt / goblet squat though to be clear. I see...

Hi guys, I need some advice. I did no sports most of my life. Like ten years ago I changed my lifestyle and started running. I reduced my weight from 140 kg to ca. 110 kg. I added some soccer, Tennis, biking and hiking. Two years ago I started weight training and gained ca. 5 kg weight. After...

Original: https://www.reddit.com/r/fitness30plus/s/I0jllgvrbu Fatigue for a year. Couldn’t get through a golf lesson without getting gassed. Went for a physical and got labs done. Everything was normal except for low vitamin D. Value was at least half of what it should be. Currently on 50,000iu...

Im Military, 17 years in and have to do the walk as an alternative to running. Someone decided to shorten our time limit from 34 min to 31. I need to train to be able to maintain a 5 mph walking speed for 2.5 miles. I have flat feet but wear arch supports (not sure how much they help...

Hey all, I’ve been going to the gym 3 days a week now doing StrongLifts 5x5 since the first day of February (with some missed days due to sickness and a vacation). I definitely feel stronger, but I haven’t seen a lot of progress visually. Obviously I haven’t been at it for a super long time and...

Hello all, I’m a 38 year male. Since the pandemic, I have really lost myself and put on weight. I’m 6’0 feet tall and currently 290 pounds. Throughout most of my life, I had been naturally fit and never had to lift weights or anything. However, that is not the case now and I need some help. I’m...

All the way back in Feb I started having pain in my left knee when I would kneel down on it. I THINK it was from kneeling down too much while doing some house projects but I am not sure. Knee pain is on the top/center of the patella, just underneath the bony knob, near the patellar tendon and...

I have recently started incorporating SOME workout in my day (C25K) but I feel like I am not doing enough. Like my life otherwise is quite sedentary and I am thinking to incorporate a 30-40 minutes walk in my daily routine in addition to C25K. While I know I am just starting out and won’t push...

Help Programming Workout I wanted to see if anyone would give some feedback on a workout routine I am considering. I do have several years lifting experience and some knowledge of workout routines and principles. I am 37, run a business full time, and have a 1 year old kid, so there are time...

I'm pretty sure that Wall-E wasn't meant to be a documentary (I'm pretty sure Idiocracy wasn't either) but as anyone can see by looking around, we've got trouble. As is always pointed out, weight loss is about diet, but diet and life when you aren't 20 is a little more difficult. Buy in from...

New Covid restrictions only give us 45min to workout per reservation (probably more like 30-40min since they have to transition and let previous patrons out before your time slot). Which split would be the most effective for the time constraints given? (Due to work schedule the days I’d prefer...

(Combined with a calorie deficit of course). I’m after your thoughts. I started lifted weights about 7 years ago now, with a deficit I lost 70lbs and was in the best shape of my life. Gave up strength training and took up running full time about 2 years ago now. When I took up running I...
