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?
I’ve trained calisthenics, plyometrics and power yoga at home for years and I’m very happy with the results. Just search on Youtube for advice and workouts you like. Use your common sense: look for people focusing on tried-and-true ideas and don’t use performance enhancing drugs.
My favorite channels are Athlean-X, Calisthenicmovement, The Stone Circle and Breathe and Flow.
Also, get a mirror or film yourself to check your form, or have someone watch you. After a while, you’ll start feeling whether something is right or wrong, but at the start it’s useful to have a visual check.
My current “default” workout is based on one of his videos I saw years ago. It’s just a basic full body compound movement push, pull, hinge, squat 🔥🤩
I get a workout in 45 min if I need to and it feels great.
The Athlean-x program is a great general fitness program. I have heard that there’s some controversy about Jeff inventing problems to make videos on, but the program is solid.
Basically everything is out of the physical therapy handbook.
