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.
Thanks for the advice. I'm not really prioritizing getting abs or anything at the moment, I just want a flat stomach, even if it's still kind of squishy to the touch. But overall I'm getting a pretty general idea of where to start here, and I'm thankful and grateful for that.
I suppose if you want to quantify my current goal, I wanna get down to 190 lbs, get more fit (more muscle on the limbs), and drop the belly/love handles for a flatter, if still squishy, figure. The abs and swole limbs (Captain America figure) can come later. I'm taking this in stages, and stage one in my head is just getting healthier so I FEEL better, if you get what I'm saying?
The bare minimum you gotta do for that goal is to stop eating bread. 190 is my "normal" weight at ~5'11" and to maintain it I just gotta stop eating bread.
But, getting down to 190lbs DOES NOT MEAN you got rid of your belly fat. Belly fat is the last thing to go. If you're like me, your ass will be flat as a cutting board before your belly fat evaporates.
Start moving that midriff to re-establish bloodflow. Stretch the hell out of it like trying to massage day-old gum into being pliable again.
The number on the scale will never show in your belly. Knowing that will preserve your sanity.
I'm not expecting this to be any shorter than a several month endeavor for stage one (probably longer in all honesty), but yeah. I figure it'll be at least 6 months to a year before I get rid of the belly completely, or at least enough to feel kind of satisfied with it. Regardless, it's something I've set out to do, and I intend to do it.
So I'm in it for the long haul. Again, thanks for the advice.
