/fit/ - Health and Fitness

Running or jogging if you are a fat bastard. People forget that when you are like 100 lbs overweight you jogging is like the 100 lbs lighter version of you jogging with 100 lbs of weights strapped to his body. Your knees, including both the muscles and especially the joints, were not meant to handle that kind of strain and you can seriously fuck your knees up permanently trying to do basic jogging to get back in shape.

When you are that fat you need an honest-to-goodness exercise bike to offload all of your body weight onto that eat (better be a good one, and preferably a comfortable one as well) while you are doing that cardio. (And you obviously need to go on a diet.)

Main danger of bicycling is cars and trucks. I hate them.

This shallow, simplistic "advice" will only lead to nervous breakdowns and burnout. Just a head's up.

For me, TGUs have been the worst for me. Probably the only injury that has consistently given me knee injuries.

> by then I will be heating my house with firewood and working with logs always made my back hurt.

Log work is demanding to the back, that shows you which area to grow next.

> I also run barefoot for cardio, nothing impressive but I manage to run ~6 km without dying on next day

That is impressive anon, commemorate your accomplishments.

Is walking up and down the stairs several times (in a four story building) decent enough exercise for a beginner?

>>2171
Should be, and you can always find additional areas to sprinkle exercise into. Such as when you need to poop, squat up and down 15-20 times above the toilet seat keeping your cheeks from touching the seat before you finally sit down.

Hand augers are a real full body workout machine only after a couple of holes I was tired as hell and was sore all over the next day, or at least the one I borrowed from the neighbor, it was a bit bent and likely dull so I had to work extra hard for those holes.
What are good sources on body weight workouts? I assume you need good technique to see gains from them is that right? Or it's more about being consistent with them?

Friend of mine does keto and works out. He says it's pretty good for burning fat and being healthy. Dude doesn't seem to have any problems with it.

The main issue is that you really have to be careful about counting your carbs though. It takes like at least a full day for your body to enter ketosis so if you fuck up your keto by taking too much carb (or enough protein your body breaks the excess down into glucose/sugar) you are fucking up your keto for days on end.

If you ask me though you can replicate most of the benefits of keto just by going on a plain meat & vegetables diet. I suspect a large amount of keto's benefits come not from what keto does for you but rather what you end up avoiding in the process of doing keto. Some of these benefits you mention seem reminiscent of the benefits of the carnivore diet to me.

>>2078
This. You could always go harder, but your current level of effort is yielding results, so it's far from nothing.

Thanks brahs I just got done locking on a pt deal with the gym in my new neighborhood that I’m  moving to. It’s expensive but I feel that it will be good for me because it will make me justify paying for it and the sooner I’m lean I can stop the pt
It’s just good to have someone in the flesh to hold me accountable. The people I’m shacked up with right now don’t have my best interests, they bought me chips ahoy cookies to eat, the guy is supposed to be into fitness and knows my struggle with junk food. Hopefully none of yall will come across such people.

Im just focusing on cardio and a huge calorie deficit. I realized that if I exercise early it will keep in track with dieting and making healthier like eating halo top instead of actual ice cream or legendary pastries instead of pop tarts or an actual cinnamon roll
On the gym stuff I’ll have to cancel it and switch to another one because I’ve been priced out in my current situation. The pt is just too expensive for what it is and they are apparently going to up the price again this month. Just not a wise decision to stay with that gym. Hope you are all doing well.

>>1985 (OP) 
Work out and do a keto diet, maintaining a calorie deficit (so count your calories, all your fucking calories - snacks & drinks are calories too - anything you ingest you count the calories). Keto is a fairly strict diet but it's healthy and you will lose weight faster because you are forcing your body to burn fat for energy. Working out is recommended because it raises your daily calorie consumption and it reduces your odds of developing stretch marks if you are putting on muscle at the same time you lose weight. You might lose weight a bit more slowly if you are putting on muscle (which makes you gain weight) at the same time you are losing fat, but it's way healthier and you look better than just losing weight.

Also make sure to drink water and sleep properly. If your sleep is fucked your metabolism will be fucked which in turn will fuck up your weight loss.

I feel like shit.

I don't know jack about sprinting. Never done it before. What would you recommend for someone who just wants try it casually OP? Any tips or good resources?

>>1295 (OP) 
>you will never be able to run from that feel

>>1295 (OP) 
Reckon developing adenosine triphosphate levels will do you good if all you want better sprinting performance in particular.

I've seen that one and I reckon it's bullshit. If you crave candy, your body thinks it needs energy. If you crave chocolate, your body thinks it needs energy. If you crave ramen or bread, your body thinks it needs more energy. If you crave chips or bacon, your body thinks it needs salt. Simple as. It's up to you to decide whether your body is correct or not.
I can't really give proper advice here because I've never been a fat cunt nor had troubles with junk food. Quite the opposite; I'm one of those guys who have to force themselves to eat. I can go for days without eating if I don't keep track. But even still, you can't eat what does not exist. Stop buying junk food and only cook enough carbs and fats to meet your bare minimum requirements. If you do have more calories than you probably should have, then that's the perfect excuse to go and pump some iron to burn it off.

On a similar note, is anybody else here physically disgusted by junk food? I like ice cream and dark chocolate, but lollies are bland, chips are too salty and (if flavoured) fake, sweet chocolate tastes gross and soft drink makes me want to puke. With the exception of ice cream, all of the above are so unsatisfying that it actually hurts if I eat them alone as if I hadn't eaten in 36 hours. I assume this is because my body expects a proper meal packed full of nutrients and produces acid in response but is instead greeted by a low-quality hi

>On a similar note, is anybody else here physically disgusted by junk food?
It depends, some i love chocolate and fast food other i have no interest in at all candy, gummy bears and stuff like that and the rest i actively dislike sodas
>you may find that you don't even want M&Ms or Cola anymore.
Definitely, it's what i did with drinks and now i only drink water and coffee and the occasional liqueur

As good guys die out, the world only gets shittier and shittier with more of faggots like you reproducing and sucking up the fresh O2. Niggers, spics, and kikes like you only serve to make the world a shittier place with obessessive crying about muh colonialization, retards who need gobernment fundings and assistance to help you from becoming outcasts or homeless faggots off the streets, and favorites of big corps who treat you like slaves while sucking you off as if you're anything special.

>>608
There are no we wuzzers this is just you being a typical shitskin crying bout white people as always. Not even imageboards are safe from you faggots.

>>654
>What do you guys use to kill food cravings? 
The best way to do that is to occupy your mind on something that makes you forget about eating shitty foods. Doing your usually hobbies or setting your mind on something that makes you forget about eating crap is something I've been doing these past years.

>There are literal videos of animals jacking off or licking themselves for sexual pleasure. How is nature unnatural?
Animals also genocide, cannibalize themselves, and rape their own kin for fun. Just because creatures of nature does it doesn't mean it's natural nor does it mean it should be done. Animals are essence of nature just like humans and can make poor decisions within their lives and do things that are unnatural as well. Your logic is retarded, because this is something (((scientists))) claim when they're the same people who are willing to take things out of context and claim that merely homosexuality exist among animals, because they took a dominant lion raping its victim as an indication of homosexuality being of tolerance. Masturbation has no benefits whatsoever, even Israel the country that profits off of porn industry knows this, which is they banned it and use it as weapon.

God speed anon.

I am slowly working towards completing the 100 push up challenge, and making some good progress. How are you anons doing?

Starting to get into the habit of hitting the gym every day and paying close attention to what I eat. Finishing off the last of my alcohol/sodas and will abstain except for the occasional glass of good whiskey and/or Chivas in honor of Hunter Thompson

Congratulations, friend. You're gonna make it.

I attempt to follow HIT. I will do a workout and rest for three days in between, so usually, I do it twice a week. Since I primarily exercise at home, it is difficult for me to reach absolute failure within one set simply because of my equipment and the fact that I do not have a spotter. If you don't have access to a spotter willing to help with the negatives, find a gym with a good range of machines. I feel like Mike designed HIT to be more machine-based, especially with his connection to Arthur Jones and the Nautilus equipment. My current setup at home revolves around Powerblock equipment. Without a spotter at home, I usually pre-exhaust myself by doing a few extra sets before I feel I have gone to failure as best as I can.

For those of you without a spotter, a mirror can help. But pushing yourself into a gym would be better.
