So since the last 2 days, I’ve been building the courage up to start doing exercises. I’m starting with weights that were just collecting dust so thought “hell why not, never too late to start getting fit”
Now I’m being realistic knowing that starting off you’re not gonna be shredded like a wrestler but I’m just tryna get leaner and fitter body wise.
Is it reasonable for absolute novices to never go to the gym for their exercise and fitness journey? I feel like would be saving some dosh even though I could be missing on some equipment they use there.
A penny for your thoughts?
During covid I built a home gym (power rack, barbell and plates) never having touched any of it before in my life, and built a wrestler’s physique. It is absolutely possible to go this route. The amount of information available online now is incredible, and in some ways you would be better off teaching yourself versus going to a personal trainer in the gym. They tend to baffle you with BS, and “manage” your program for you with all kinds of wacky exercises.
The recipe is deceptively simple. You don’t need a gym full of machines, a barbell at home can get you yoked. If you are interested in going this route let me know I can point you in the right direction
