fitness after 30

I am 33 years old, measuring 1.67 cm and weighting 95 Kg (about 5’.6” and 198 lbs), and my body fat looks around 335%. I also have plantar fasciitis and asthma, which make it hard for me to do certain types of cardio such as running, but fan bikes and rowing machines are manageable. Most cardio...

Took a pretty long hiatus. Always used to be in really good shape. Doing both cardio and lifting. Solid muscle. Single digit body fat %. Then I had a couple kids and got a desk job and got really OUT of shape. Not super overweight because I kept my eating at least somewhat in check. Not great in...

I'm sick and tired of injuring my back. I've been lifting for couple of years and squatting always gets me injured at some point. “well, do something else!” you might say. Thing is…I love squatting. 🙃 Anyway. More context. I've been getting injured on and off for years, and at some point I...

Alrighty here we go. I do not know how to start so I will try. I have been frustrated lately and I am looking for tips. Unfortunately 4-6 weeks ago I had a little hyperextension in my muscle (right shoulder/back muscle/rhomboid) due to improper squat technic which dragged my on my neck so it...

Hi all, so I’m focusing on strength at the moment. I’m using some of the 5,3,1 program, alongside other things. My current body weight is 70kg (m, 166cm) Bench: 100kg (1.43 x bw) Deadlift: 152.5kg (2.18 x bw) Squat: 125kg (1.78x bw) OHP: 62.5kg (0.89x bw) What’s yours? What are you aiming...

This is not a post to get sympathy or anything like just help/advice would be great! Basically I'm 36, single dad that when my ex wife cheated on me 5 years ago I started going to the gym and suffer from pression now which is a pain in my arse when cones to motivation and commiting to the gym...

I’m very overweight; I’ve surfed weight consistently. My most recent surge of activity was swimming 4-5 times a week - often leaving my partner either solo with the kids in the morning, or essentially not seeing her / spending quality time together some nights With a one hour commute each way...

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...
