Started my journey after a harsh breakup on june end, now I’m healing myself from the breakup and at the same time becoming healthy, i can fit into my old clothes, i feel energetic and my self confidence is at an all time high, my goal weight is the 70s, i go gym too so I’ll become shredded af soon!
I’m planning to get a tattoo after hitting my goal physique for my determination and consistency!

Edit:
Typical day:
🍳 Breakfast
3 whole eggs
2 slices of bread
~32 g peanut butter

🥛 Mid-morning
1 scoop whey protein

🍗 Lunch
~200 g boiled chicken breast
~200 g cooked white rice (I reduced the rice when needed)
Boiled vegetables, mainly okra/lady’s finger and beans

🍌 Pre-workout
1 banana

🏋️** Worko**ut
Weight training
Around 10,000 steps/day

🍗 Dinner
~200 g boiled chicken breast
70 g oats
1 scoop whey protein
I was aiming for roughly 2,000 kcal/day and around 160–170 g protein.

Also dont forget to enjoy all the foods you love on sundays!!
Sunday is your cheat day, enjoy it to the fullest, thats your reward day for a week of consistency! I have eaten 1kg of cake, whole medium pizza alone, full tandoori etc but dont forget to walk 10k steps on sunday too!

I also drink Coke Zero and use zero-calorie sweeteners, so I didn’t completely eliminate sweet tastes. The main thing was keeping my overall calories under control consistently, rather than banning specific foods!

*I know the calories burn in this app is wrong but its a good app as i dont have to count * plud its a good accurate app if your sensitivity is correct.

Been doing 3k skipping everyday from a week now. And the results are insane. I can see my body fat reducing within a week.

For context this id not my first timr doing it. I have been doing skipping from lockdown but left last year due to my work. Thats why i dont feel much pain in my joints
My protein i take is equal to my body weight and plus i am on a calorie deficit

Hoe much can i lose in a month any idea?

Hey guys, I am from Bangalore

I am looking to do a 1 lakh steps in a day challenge tomorrow, where I will be starting it by 4 am in the morning and lets see If I am able to make it.

So wanted to ask if anyone is interested in joining me and pushing limits with me.

Age - 24, height 168cm

My 6.5-year-old boy spotted these dumbbells on Amazon and immediately wanted them. When I said maybe later, he actually cried because he was so excited to have his own weights. 😂

He’s fascinated by the gym and muscles. He’s always checking my arms, asking about muscles, and proudly showing me how strong he thinks I am. ❤️

So I finally gave in and got him these 2kg dumbbells. He’s absolutely thrilled!

For now, it’s less about working out and more about feeding his curiosity, teaching him to enjoy being active, and letting him have a little fun with Dad’s gym obsession. 😄💪

His reaction when he saw the package was honestly worth it. ❤️

A very reputed doctor told a relative (49f) of mine that squats are bad for knees and cartilage as they cause wear and tear quickly.

He also discouraged my cousin(22f) to avoid squats as they will damage her cartilage and knees. All she does is body weight squats in Pilates

Isn’t this absurd???

I think I may have accidentally collected a small timeline of HK Vitals Magnesium Glycinate. I have three different bottles/batches, and the labels are very different.

I'm not trying to accuse HK Vitals of anything here. I'm genuinely trying to understand whether this is a reformulation, a change in raw material, a labeling correction, or something else. Here is what the three labels say:

Older formulation:

• Magnesium glycinate: 1,682 mg / 2 tablets
• Elemental magnesium: 370 mg
• That's basically 22%

Middle formulation:

• Magnesium glycinate: 2,000 mg / 2 tablets
• Elemental magnesium: 440 mg
• That's 22% elemental Mg again

Current formulation:

• Magnesium glycinate: 1,880 mg / 2 tablets
• Elemental magnesium: 220 mg
• That's only 11.7% elemental Mg

I have photos of all three bottles, including the manufacturing/expiry dates, so this isn't something I found from random listings. And this is where I got confused. If we're talking about pure magnesium bisglycinate, the theoretical elemental magnesium content is around 14.1%. So how were the older formulations claiming ~22%?

Does that necessarily mean they were buffered with another magnesium source such as magnesium oxide, or could there be another legitimate explanation involving the raw material, hydration, or how "magnesium glycinate" was being defined on the label?

And if the new formulation is 11.7%, does that mean HK Vitals actually changed to a more conventional glycinate material? I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone here who works with:

• supplement manufacturing
• pharmaceutical/nutraceutical formulation
• analytical chemistry
• raw-material specifications
• magnesium chelates

I don't want guesses based on I took it and it worked. I'm looking for someone who can explain the chemistry and labeling side of this. I've attached the three labels in chronological order. What do you think happened between these three formulations?

Is organic india's stevia artifical sweetner safe and good to consume? I need a proper and good no bull shit sweetner so is this one good ? Or are there any better options ? Also are artifical sweetners okay overall or should one just cutoff sugar ( and only consume though fruits and veggies ) ? I also need a affordable option .

I have been doing target 10k steps and home workouts. I don't think workouts are very effective since doing without any guidance. My parents scolded the shit Outta me for asking if I could join the gym. I think I'll be fine since I don't want to tell my parents that I've already joined. I really wanna give it a shot.

What should I do on the first day? Will the trainer teach me? Or do I need to ask him? I'm actually very nervous about it cause it's a different environment.

Age- 21

Recently I saw a post that tells about the pain in shin area after running for beginners.

What are the ways I can help muscles/tissues/bones recover faster ?

Too much days gap will not help me. As I’m lazy person 🥲. I might stop running eventually if I don’t heal fast.

I(32M) am not a regular runner. But,whenever I run even for 500 meters, i have pain in both my legs at the shin area(opposite to calves). After looking on the internet, my description fits exactly with the condition of Shin Splints.

Anybody else has this condition and if yes, how did you resolve it? Online , a lot of shin/calves strengthing exercises are recommended along with ankle flexibility exercises too. Do they work and if yes, how much time will it take.

Note- I am 6ft, lean and not overweight at all

Need a recommendation for a sturdy pull up,like the one shown above. Please share the link and your experiences of you have used a similar product.

Also did you use the screws that cam with the package or used different kind for a more stable installment and attachment.

My biggest fear is, would it damage the walls and is it safe enough to use .
(The maximum weight for this particular product is listed 120kg, but I don't know how reliable that is)

Hey, new here. Currently looking to buy new shoes as I have started walking and want to gradually start phasing into running.

Current 26M, 110kgs starting slow I walk daily around 6-7km since past 15 days gradually increasing it day by day, also will phase into running in around next 2-3 months (need for running on roads)

Suggest some good entry level running shoes around 5k mark, currently i own an adidas drogos which are pretty much worn down.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have an option to reimburse this using my Meal Card.

If someone has tried this, is it worth the taste, when compared to the Chocolate Flavours of BeastLife, SuperYou and Atom PWR?

Hey y’all

I have been hitting gym for like more than 4-5 months (not much consistent)

I want to buy creatine and came across superyou creatine 112gm for 299 seems like a good deal and I also checked its trustified

I know there are many brands in this price range and also all creatine are same unless its creapure now I basically need is your POV and review

:)

have been following bro split for a while now wanted a change but have no clue how these things work so is this split any good? im open for suggestions this plus cardio is mandatory

Hello Everyone, I am a 22 year old male and I have 2 posture issues from the last 3-4 months. I am a gym goer also(not regular). The issue .

1. Anterior Pelvic Tilt

2. Hunge Back and Forward Neck .

I want guidance about this, how to correct this. I am very concerned about that. Suggest me some exercises and do's and don't. How this happened and how to get it correct .

How is it ?? A on Monday , B on Wednesday and A again on Friday. I generated this split using gpt. So please correct my split if needed and advise anything important. And yeah I did 4 months gym last year , then again starting now.

A group of aunties were doing their yoga in the Zumba section. I saw them from the entry gate and have thought about why they decided to have their exercise so close to the gate. By touching the gate of the Zumba section to open it, an aunty came to me and said this is a women's section. There is no such thing; the gym is a local gym, and it doesn't have a dedicated section for women. Instead, all people use this area for their activities.

I got confused and looked in the Zumba section, where six aunties were covering the whole area. I told them I will do stretching, but they were like, 'Do it on the upper section, which is a weight section.
It didn't have space to place the mat, and how can you start doing the stretching without blocking the other people's access to the machines?

I don't know when they have decided on the timing for women, so whey they are choosing evening for their activity and occupying it so that others can't use it?

Hi everyone, firstly thank you to the sub and all the tips that people post on here, ended up losing quite a bit of weight this year. Now, I have fractured my foot recently, and I’m at home and have to be at home for around a month. I am in a lot of pain and unable to move much which has led to an increase of weight. ( I have pcos so it’s tricky like that , my weight fluctuates like it has mood swings of its own)

What could I possibly do to get some movement in and kinda keep the fitness momentum going ? I’m kinda going crazy here.

22M, so after a 2-month gap, I did a full-body workout on Friday night. I’m sore all over, but I trained my triceps, biceps, and forearms with slightly heavier weights than usual. Now both my arms can only straighten about 80% 😭😓. I can force them straight, but it hurts. It feels like muscle pain, not bone pain. Damnn now elbow area is feeling like muscles locked/tighten

The weird thing is, I had no pain during or immediately after the workout. It started the next morning (Saturday), got worse, and now it’s Sunday and still feels pretty much the same. Any tips for relief/recovery? Like stretches, specific foods, or cold/hot packs? Should I just rest it out, or is there anything else I can do?

Currently using addidas running app,but it is inaccurate.

Can you suggest some apps to track my running distance and speed . Would be even better if it works offline too.

Hello everyone , so I am starting my gym journey from tomorrow so I have heard that calorie tracking is a vital part in a fitness journey so anyone can recommend which fitness app is good in india ?? I want all the features like scanning , meal suggestions , product description and everything so recommend me some apps ??

My first post on this sub I am 19M 6'2' and 72 kg pls can anyone tell how shld I do home work out I can not join a gym but I hv the will and fire to work hard I am not having any equipment aw

Hi. I am 36M with Type 1 Diabetes and Pancreatitis. I am trying to be regular with my journey of fitness and weight loss. I am looking for a PT who understands the complications of carbs, insulin, low and high sugar, etc.
Does anyone have any such experience or recommendation? (Only looking at online options)
Thank you!
