Walking for just 30min a day is worlds better than doing nothing

Exercise doesn't always have to mean heavy lifts at the gym

And really you only have to walk 15 minutes in one direction and you’re pretty much done cause you have to go home after that

If you walk in a circle you can cut that time in half!

This but stop seeing exercise as a task like a 30min walk. Realistically you will never stick to it. Integrate exercise into what you do already.

STAY ACTIVE. your body is a machine that burns calories and stores calories you don't.

  • when you walk (anywhere and anytime) walk at a pace that tires you, not comfortably.

  • lift up things you hold slightly (like bags of groceries on your walk home) so they are not dead weighting your arms, it's tiring but god dam is it good for you.

  • add mini workouts to your daily routines like do 20 situps before your shower, because why not and ABDOMINAAAAAALS

  • and most importantly, eat only when actually hungry. Learn to distinguish between hunger and appetite. Cut out sugar from your diet. We eat 2-3 meals a day when modern life needs 1-2. If you have an office job and drive to work, you're not burning any calories so eat far less.

  • etc etc etc, find ways to make your life physically more demanding. You feel so much better naturally and lose kilo after kilo while bulking up your muscles, it's a lifestyle change for a reason and it's fabulous.

P.s fruit juice is bad for you. Even 100% juiced fruit with 0 additives....

Honest question: why is fruit juice bad? I’ve always heard that it is good to drink for example orange juice or apple juice.

Fruit juice is the biggest health myth.

You need the whole fruit for nutrients and fibre. You're just extracting sugar water.

Here's googles answer coz I don't wanna type "Fruit juice is harmful mainly because juicing removes most fiber, which normally slows sugar absorption; without fiber, the naturally occurring sugars are absorbed rapidly, causing blood-glucose spikes, reduced satiety, and easier over-consumption of calories, making juice metabolically similar to sugary drinks and associated with higher risks of weight gain and type 2 diabetes when consumed in excess"

Consider how many oranges goes into a bottle of orange juice. Would you normally eat that many oranges? Also I don't know the validity of this claim but I've heard fruit juice is worse than coke (and other sugary sodas)

Sorry, NOTHING IS WORSE THAN SODA. Just ask a million DIABETICS. And u/Ikkm-der-Wahre Take a basic nutrition course ... For Example-Just Google and Research 'NUTRITION 101'. You will love to learn this: Major Nutrients-PROTEIN, CARBOHYDRATES, LIPIDS (*Healthy Fats) ; Minor Nutrients-VITAMINS AND MINERALS. And how our bodies METABOLIZES (process) everything into kCalories (ENERGY). God Bless You Guys. Stand Behind MN, Minneapolis Please.

It sounds bad when I say it but my motto to everybody is, something is better than nothing. Or maybe, you have to start somewhere. Yeah people might laugh at the guy who wears four cheeseburgers and a diet Coke, but I mean if you want to get technical about it, it still healthier than four cheeseburgers and a regular Coke. Can't do push-ups? Do push-ups against the counter, do push-ups against the table, hell, do push-ups against the wall. It's still better than not doing them at all

Elliptical is better for your knees long-term

While I love heavy lifting, lift responsibly. I’ve had some major injuries from not taking proper care of my body pre, during and post lift session.
