Any fitness freak frens wanna give some advice?
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
I've been looking to lose some weight and get in better shape lately, but don't really have ready access to a gym because of life circumstances. Figured I'd throw this out there and ask for some advice about working out at home to lose weight with no equipment. I mean there's the obvious push ups, situps, etc. But I'm more looking for advice on how many sets/repetitions, how many days a week, etc. Obviously I plan on dieting a bit as well, but any advice or some kind of link/graphic showing a few basic workout plans would be appreciated.
I figure this post can help some others in the same situation as well given a lot of us want to get in better shape to prepare, but don't have access to the best facilities, and whatnot.
Once upon a time I spent 8 weeks eating nothing but popcorn (no bs), rice cakes, pb samiches and granola bars while drinking only water and Naked fruit juices. This was all while exercising at home (and work at the time was a strenuous workout).
I just did what you mentioned. Pushups at home. Pull ups out in the garage. Jogged daily for 30 min to an hour. And instead of buying weights, I filled milk jugs with water and used those, later upgrading to cat litter jugs filled with water. Usually did two sessions daily. An hour in the mornings and an hour after my work shift.
The effect was as desired. Slimmed and toned up while building my endurance up in a very short time. Plus I saved money on food and gym fees/splurging on equipment.
The only cons I can recall were the expected diarrhea that came with the sudden diet change and towards the end of the regimen I was really craving whatever other people were talking about eating.
It's all about will power and self control. You can do it anon!
