Need some tips on getting fit

[Solid SnakeParticipant 255]

Hello guys,

Looking to lose some weight in 2017, gain some muscle, as someone who has never done any sort of fitness work could you give me some tips?

I hear squats are good, I have an exercise bike, I try to do 50 minutes a night worth of exercise bike work – cardio.

I’m not sure how to do a proper squat, would just like to start off on body weight squats at this stage until I get it down pat and then will later move onto weights.

Any tips?

Also if you could give me tips on easy healthy meals, that would be fantastic.

Thanks.

Stop eating processed Crap. Cut out grains, sugar, vegetable oils/margarines–use olive oil, avocado oil, butter , and don’t overdue it with starchy vegetables.
Eat non-processed proteins, fats, and vegetables.
Exercise with resistance; body weight or weights, and do some low arobic cardio.
Go on line, buy a book, there’s a s~~~ ton of info. in regards to the above suggestions.
Find the combo that works BEST for YOUR body !!

Yep. Even before junk food was invented, William Banting wrote about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Banting

Here’s a YouTube site that explains all that: https://www.youtube.com/user/drericberg123

I’ve been getting really good results with P90x3. It’s 30 minutes a day with minnimal equipment. The workout is so short that it’s easier to just get it done than procastinate over not doing it.

The exercise varies from day to day which stops it from getting boring.

Worth every penny.

[AwakenedParticipant 35206]

I had a thought.
Since you are new to this. Keep it Simple !!

1. Stop eating/drinking CRAP !
2. Eat less !
3. Exercise/move/walk more !

Do all 3 in that order on a daily basis, and well before 01/01/2018 you will have lost a lot of fat!!

First. Don’t think of it as “getting fit.” Think of it as getting your body’s systems in harmony with how they were originally designed in the first place. Then, make it your lifestyle.
1. Fuel. Probably the most important factor. If you had a Ferrari 458 Italia that the manufacturer designed for high octane gasoline, would you put the low octane stuff in it?? Would you put diesel fuel in the tank?? Would you put water in the tank?? NO. F~~~ No. Don’t do the same thing with your body.

2. Start an easy strength training routine. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more fuel you can store [our sugars/fuel are stored in the liver and skeletal muscle]. There’s no need to go out and buy any equipment, however, if you do buy exercise equipment, buy it used & from a woman and let her take a 90% depreciation on it. I promise you it will have been used as a clothes rack and it will be virtually new.

Use your body weight for exercises. Pull-ups, squats, push-ups, sit-ups. These 4 exercises cover 90% of the large muscle mass in your entire body.

3. Cardio. This is a bit more over rated than most think. You only need 20-30 min/day of cardio training 2-4X/week to see measurable improvements in your VO2 uptake and a lowering of your heart rate/blood pressure. I prefer to do things outside and live in a climate where that’s feasible 10 months out of the year. If you live in Canada or [God-help-you] Sweden, then you’re looking at doing most of your cardio indoors. There are few exercises better than a brisk walk, and if your schedule allows, do your brisk walk as soon after eating your meals as possible. This lessens the spike in blood sugars and insulin release, as well as decreases the likelihood of developing Type II diabetes later on.

If you don’t do anything other than adjust the fuel you’re putting into your Ferrari, you will see significant results within 4-6 weeks [sleeping better, better focus, more energy/endurance, etc]

I’m living proof that this stuff works. When I was 22 and graduated college, I weighed 180. By 36, I was 220. I got tired of looking at myself in the mirror, so I applied these principles. It took 4 more years to get back to 180, so be patient and committed to the long game. Still 180 @ 51 years old.

Happy New Year. Everyone. Except the NAWALT’s, T~~~T’s, White Knights, & Mangina’s. You guys can p~~~ off, although, thanks for getting Trump elected.

From someone who lost 40lbs and kept it off for 3 years I can assure you that 90% of weight loss is diet. Make your kitchen your new hobby. Don’t eat anything unless you make it yourself. Weight is created and maintained in the kitchen. Fitness is created and maintained in the gym. Good luck bro.

Peace is > piece.

Consistancey is the key. Start off easy, come up with a routine that wont be overwellming on a daily basis.

No junk food/fast food.

[Anonymous 42]

Do like Forest Gump and run run run! Climb climb climb! Hike until your feet are so hot and burning that you need to stop and soak them in a stream, if you’re not getting hot to the point of puking and having to stop you’re not burning at maximum capacity.

Food too, today I SPOILED myself with REAL bacon and eggs cooked in butter instead of virgin olive oil (love the green smell). Do not eat what they say you can eat, eat the foods that come in nature’s wrapper.

Processed foods have undergone molecular transformations.

Peanutbutter often has it’s peanut oil extracted and replaced with palm and other rancid oils, giving you the slip on quality and health.

No soda, beer, alcohol, soy, mono and diglycerides (rancid oil). No preservatives like sodium-nitrate (Nano4), s~~~ catches fire if water is added in it’s chemical form. Some meat handlers use it to redden the red in red meat that actually shouldn’t be so red.

Read the LABEL! I drink OJ, Grape juice, and other labels that say NO SUGAR ADDED (nothing added labels that are short and sweet) ZERO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, it stimulates the tongue and goes straight to fat without burning. some say not to eat meat but I do, mostly chicken and fish but not fukudaiichi fish. Our cesium in the Atlantic and other radio isotopes are less concentrated, and more decayed than in the Pacific. You never know when you’re eating a hot fish that ate another hot fish as bio-accumulation occurs. You could easily get stuck eating a fish with an unacceptable radio isotope count. I’m not playing that one arm bandit that may or may not be contaminated with pl239 MOX fuel from Fukushima unit 3.

They say it’s worse than the Chernobyl disaster. Unlike Chernobyl it’s hidden as most of it went into the sea.
There’s weird things popping up allover the Pacific and now on the West Coast US and Canada the fish are testing positive for Fukushima core meltdown isotopes.

I laugh at the foolishness some people have toward these EXTREMELY hot particles. But don’t fret and feel unsafe, TEPCO power buys all the radio active fish off the coast of Japan, that’ll patch things up for sure!

Losing weight is really a lot more simple than how industries profiting from this huge existential complex unsolvable problem would like you to believe.

Calories consumed – (minus) calories used = net weight gain or loss. Eat less and exercise more and you will lose weight. Simple as that. Yes, quality of food matteres, proteins, carbs balance also. But bottom line is very simple, dont turn this into religion with counting apple calories but in a general mindframe about weight. If you will be more active and eat less food, quality food, rich on proteins, low sugar, low processed foods, you will lose weight.

Now gaining muscles goes against your weight loss goals as muscles are heavier than fat so you actually gain weight by transforming fat into muscle. Most important imo, dont gain muscles to just gain muscles, get fit to get a mood and self confidence kick. Nothing more sorry in my eyes that empty goal of having enormous muscles but no real strenght or flexibility. This are usually blue pill chumps who weight lifts in hope to get access to women.

edit: use search, there was very good contribution to this topic here not long ago.

Thanks for the tips fellas!

I think food wise I’m pretty good, I need to cut out the Maccas and tone down portion sizes, as well.

I’m from Italian herritage so everything in our food is packed with garlic and cooked in olive oil so I’m on a winner there.

The worst part for us is we eat a lot of pasta, I do have it for lunch tomorrow but I’ll stop it as of this week and only have it rarely.

Anyone got a link to the correct way to squat? I don’t want to cause any damage to myself unintentionally.

[MeisterParticipant 2093]

Nutrition and hormone levels are key.
I’m just gonna repost what I wrote in the other thread …

eat raw eggs! (I eat between 10 and 20 each day)
don’t drink’em at once, stretch them throughout the day.

eat raw meat. I just came home from the gym and eating a pound of raw beef right now.

don’t eat female food: sugar, bread, soy, milk
eat your vegetables instead

don’t do drugs. this includes alcohol.

lift heavy: compound movements, don’t skip leg day!, lift everyday

lift in supersets, don’t rest between sets

and remember: everyday is arm day!

don’t jerk off and eat pumpkin seeds to protect your prostate

1- find something that you like. Try a bunch at first until you find something that get you addicted. Lots of gym, martial arts places offer first course free. Use it to try stuff. Boxing, mma, karate, whatever work for you.

2- people flood the gyms in January because they know they “should”. Do it because you enjoy doing it. Not because you have to. If you do it for “reasons” you wont stick to it.

3- Whatever you find fun to do will soon get in your routine. It easy to make it a priority when you are having fun doing it.

4- It is alot more difficult to get fit than to stay fit. It will be hard, but try to notice the health benefits on you. Take a picture of yourself when you start, or weight yourself, to see progress.

5- Stop drinking pepsi, coke, and all that bulls~~~. Drink water, you will lose a tons of weight just by doing that.

I’ve been having small salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil as dressing and a 185g can of tuna for lunches, dropped everything else except water.

Didn’t even have any alcohol at a house warming party I was invited to the other night, trying to avoid it at all costs.

I love a beer or 10 but I’ll just keep it for special occasions from now on.

I’ve lost 6kg since I started this thread.

Went to the pub for dinner tonight, so I walked there instead, there and back was a 16km walk.

Don’t overlook swimming as an activity. The water provides its own resistance and you work all the muscle groups.

I just started swimming again last summer and the difference is amazing. Be carful starting out though. You don’t want to start cramping up in deep water.

Go on YouTube and learn from the following fitness experts:

Scott Herman Fitness:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEtMRF1ywKMc4sf3EXYyDzw
He has lived for fitness for over 20 years (since he was a skinny 12 year old), he has his own fitness studio where he trains clients every day, his own website, and does a new video every few days. He must have over 1,000 videos, because I download them and save them to a flash drive (separating them based on body part). I highly recommend Scott Herman to anyone who wants to learn.

It’s basically old geezers now.

Just go on YouTube and look up something to do, and look up proper eating. Look up supplements. I take CLA Core and Shred Matrix both from MusclePharm. I also take ISO-100 protein shake, which is VERY clean; and Amino Energy (blue raspberry).

If you do get a gym membership, take a few trainer session and learn from what they say and push you through and then do it independently so you don’t have to pay them for 50 minutes of workout. When I started my current membership, I had 4 sessions and I learned and worked hard, and if I were more motivated I would be doing what I learned on my own.

As far as eating right goes, I’m pretty much in decent shape. My biggest problem with losing weight is motivation. I will admit to being kind of lazy and sluggish.

Its difficult to build up muscles and lose weight at the same time.
When you start working out you will gain more muscle in the beginning.
I would first build up muslces and start losing weight like after 6-12 months.
And if you want to lose weight dont go on a diet where you dont eat much. Eating less will decrease your metabolism.
Thats why the lost kilos come back so quickly once people start to eat normal again.

You did not give any details of your medical condition, age or physical attributes so any advice can be generic.

Important to remember a lot of the fitness companies are after your money so beware of their game plans.

The brothers here have done the work. Fitness is not muscles, which one day turn to fat.

Some good cardiovascular work, long walks fresh air, good balanced diet ( I recommend Stealthy MGTOW’s threads on recipes) and some stress relieving exercises like yoga would help immensely.

Keep a balanced mind and body combo. Have fun. Take your daily red pill. Find out what works for you.

Cheers.
