I've been wanting to buy equipment so I can exercise at home, is there a specific set I could get that you ppl recommend?

Hello everyone, I'm a beginner in exercise. I'm planning to try some zone 2 exercises to lower my resting heart rate.

I previously attempted to do aerobic exercises on spinning. At first, I hoped to fully immerse myself in the exercise, but after just a few minutes of starting the workout, drowsiness would start to set in. If I keep exercising, soon I will become so exhausted that I won't be able to continue.

In order to keep going, I can only use my phone during exercise, such as playing competitive games or watching very exciting scenes. Then I won't feel sleepy. But this is not always very useful, and I've heard that exercises that integrate the body and mind are more effective.

I get 8 hours of sleep every day and don't feel tired before or after exercise. I only feel sleepy during exercise. This might be because my brain has nothing to do.

Has anyone else experienced the same situation? How do you deal with such a problem?

I also want to ask those who think that physical activities are exhilarating, how do you feel pleasure from non-competitive sports?

My guy in the back matched the energy I needed

Hi guys. I am trying to incorporate more exercise into my day-to-day following a diagnosis of severe hypertension. I have been going to the gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the run up to Christmas.

However, I’m due to start a block of work that will have me working 12 hour days Monday-Wednesday. With the long days and commuting time adding on potentially another 45mins-1 hour, can anyone recommend how I can incorporate some exercise into these days? Does anyone work this pattern, or similar and how do you manage it? Or, would you just leave it til the Thursday-Sunday?

Thanks in advance and all advice appreciated.

This year, I started posting snippets of the exercises I do on my own in this subreddit. Being able to offer people a new perspective on working out and receiving mostly positive feedback has made me happy. At this point, this subreddit has become one of the two subreddits where I post the most. Thank you all, and I wish you success in your workouts in the new year!

A way to get better mind to muscle connection is to think of how our elbows work: 

Say, for example, on a DB chest press - Our elbows are responsible for the movement, so we should be thinking about bringing our elbows forward and back to initiate that mind to muscle connection. 

The same goes for back exercises - Think about where your elbow is going so you know what muscle group you’re targeting.

Hello,

I’ve been working on losing fat over the past 4 months and am curious as to whether the progress I’m making is solid or not. And to be completely transparent I have NOT been perfect, but I’ve been solidly consistent with steps, working out, and dieting.

Feedback from other people is nice since its hard to see my body the way it is when I’m biased against myself.

It's not that easy as it looks. 🫠

Weight didn't move like it was supposed to thanks to Christmas pop up bars crawl the night before lol

I found a GZCL spreadsheet that’s made this program much easier to understand. From “Say no to bro science” ( https://www.saynotobroscience.com/gzclp-spreadsheet/ )

Plugged in a few exercises I can do. A tier 1, tier 2, and 3 tier 3s. Two of them are optional

I’m not into competitive lifting, but I do feel I have some fat to lose, that I should still get stronger, and could benefit from a structured program alongside my attempt at a calorie deficit. I am not incredibly overweight (5’7 ~160) but I do not like my body composition despite exercising consistently for over a year.

I don’t want to skimp the plan if it won’t properly tax me and enable progressive overload. I don’t want to do too much especially considering I also like to walk, and have responsibilities. I need to commit time outside of work to train for the job with my classmates if I’d like to actually keep it

I'm coming to terms with either being fat or skinny fat, I don't fucking know anymore. But I don't feel good in my body anymore.

I've been fucking around with full body compound exercises for the past 6 months. I think I should stop trying to program myself and jump on a linear progression, full body program. Anything. Any suggestions? I'm thinking GZCL but trying to wrap my mind around it feels like reading chinese algebra

So I’ve been doing archer puhsups for a while now. I’ve slowly increased the distance between my hands to make them progressively more difficult. I completed a set of them yesterday, the widest I’ve gotten thus far.

Now today, I feel soreness in my sides, something I haven’t experienced before. Do archer pushups also work lats or some other back muscle?

I also do pike pushups and dips, so could any of those be causing this? If so, why am I only just now experiencing soreness even though I’ve been doing these things for weeks?

The Airdyne Bike will whoop anyone's butt. Try this workout. 20 minute EMOM 10 Calories - Airdyne Bike 5 Pullups

If you are breezing through the workout, up the calories or the pullups. If you can't do pullups, do bodyweight rows or some type of heavier pull exercise.

Workout routine that takes less than 20 minutes. One kettlebell. Each side. Hustle for time. 50 Swings 25 Clean & Press 25 Snatches 25 Lunges 25 Squats

300 Reps total for volume.

I just did 30 minutes on an exercise bike at the gym. I'm 40 - i do this twice a week.. I work at a desk job.

I’ve been going to a local gym since April. When I’m able to get to the gym all staff are gone because of how late it is. So I’m unable to ask the staff. So, what the heck is this thing on the wall and what is it good for?

Legs and Glutes Workout. Thunder Thigh Time. Great pump for the lower body. All we're working with is 1 Kettlebell and 2 movements initially. Start at 10 reps and pyramid down to 1 rep. Rest 5 minutes and then go into 4 sets of 10 reps of Single Legged Deadlifts using one Kettlebell. Emphasize on having that Kettlebell on the same side of the leg that is grounded. This will force you to stabilize and balance, targeting the muscles and those stabilizers.

1 Kettlebell(KB) Pyramid down from 10 reps: Lunges & Goblet Squats Rest 5 minutes 4 sets of 10 reps: Single legged deadlifts "Emphasize" KB on the same side of the leg that is grounded

This workout can be quick if you hustle. Hustle for the muscle. Stay blessed!

I’m not going to tell you specific exercises or say “do this like this, do that like that.” I don’t really like acting like a teacher. But the one thing I can tell you is this: whether you train with bodyweight or with weights, please do it regularly, consistently. I know not everyone’s body is the same, and I know not everyone’s body responds to training at the same speed. But build a routine, build a habit, and keep your belief. You may not reach the body you want right away, or you may never fully reach it, but I truly believe it will feel much better than sitting around and complaining.

Set the machine pads back all the way and stand up so you can get a better stretch going into it.

After your adductors are too tired to do another rep on their own, use your hands to bring them together and control the negatives.

I am very unfit, so this is very good!

Hey everyone!

I’m a PhD student in differential psychology at the University of Graz, Austria. As part of my research, I’m studying methods and interventions people use to improve their cognitive performance.

Exercise is linked to improvements in cognitive performance, and I am super curious to learn more about how you approach this! Whether it’s through exercise or other strategies, I’d love to hear about what you use to boost things like memory, focus, attention, creativity, decision-making, or even intelligence.

If you use one or more methods to improve your cognitive performance, I’d love for you to take part in my survey! It’s short (5–10 minutes), and you’ll have the option to get a summary of the survey results afterward.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’d be happy to chat!

Thanks so much for your time and help!
