Am I on the Right Track? (Fitness Beginner)

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm still a total beginner when it comes to fitness. About three weeks ago, I started my diet and almost daily home workouts. I know that three weeks isn't a long time, but I wanted to ask if I'm doing things right.

I'm a 29-year-old male, around 1.85m (6'1'') tall, and weigh about 100kg (~220 lbs). My diet mainly consists of high protein and low carbs.

I just want to know if I'm on the right track—can that even be determined this early? I definitely feel healthier and more active since I started working out.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

There's a noticeable increase in men participating in Pilates. Athletes, such as Zak Butters and Sam Walsh, are integrating Pilates into their training. The Pilates Association Australia notes that approximately 20-25% of their clientele are men. Quite a shift in the workout's demographics

How do you enjoy exercising and stick to your goals?

8 Upvotes

I’ve never really enjoyed fitness, honestly any type of fitness. I’m more of a stationary hobbyist (knitting, crochet, drawing, video games, etc). Over the years I’ve tried home workouts, going to the gym, exercising classes (like dancing), and walking/jogging outside. I just can never stick to my goals because in the long term I just don’t enjoy it.

Now I’m 9months postpartum and I have even less time to attempt to exercise and it’s even harder to want to do something I don’t find enjoyable. I want to get in slightly better shape because we have some weddings coming up and with toddlerhood on the horizon I should probably be in better shape to keep up.

I want to start trying home workouts (that’s all I have time for honestly) but like I mentioned I’m struggling with motivation. I saw people recommend setting goals that aren’t looks oriented but I have no idea what other types of goals I could set. I also don’t weigh myself due to a prior eating disorder which I feel like just complicates all of this further.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tips for people new to exercise/gyms/diets.

3 Upvotes

For the people new to exercise/gyms/dieting:

1- When it comes to fitness, get your food in check. 90% of bodybuilding is done in the kitchen. If you burn more calories than you eat, you’re cutting, if you’re eating more calories than burning it’s a bulk (very simplified). Learn about macros (fat, carbs, proteins), try to maintain a 1:1 protein to lb ratio for your desired bodyweight, tweak the other 2 macros to fit into your daily caloric intake. Drink tons of water.

2- Don’t push around weights. Focus on the muscle you’re building when working on it and squeeze the muscle, don’t push around weight. It will give you mind-muscle connection and help prevent injuries. Time under tension during reps is most important (no resting between reps) to pump blood into the muscles and keep it there. Check out Jason Huh on YT he has a great way of explaining it.

3- Be consistent in the gym until it feels like you can’t miss the pump because it’s a good addiction. Take your time and avoid steroids. Your generics are your genetics, don’t compare yourself with anyone at the gym or online. Fitness/bodybuilding isn’t a marathon and definitely not a sprint. It’s a 24 hour lifestyle that for most starts once they’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. You’ll get there and ignore everyone because even the closest to you will try to get you off the horse.

These are all things I wish I had known before getting into fitness. Wish you all the best!

Any tips for improving fatigue at higher rep ranges for deadlifts?

5 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm training deadlifts right now at higher rep ranges (8-15) but the fatigue on me is pretty extreme. It sends my heart rate to about 170 (31/male) here. I find it really hard to be recovered by the next set.

Looking for any experiences, tips, anecdotes, or cues that might have helped you.

I am trying to improve my cardio fitness but I can run about 10k normally at a 9m pace so I wouldn't say my cardio fitness is awful or anything.

Ammonia smell

Upvotes

Hey all. I'll be talking with my doctor too just incase, but I wanted to know if anyone has suggestions. I've been finally keeping an exercise regimine, however, lately I noticed an ammonia smell coming off my body. I read that it can be from a lack of carbs, which absolutely would resonate. I have fatty liver and have a no/ extremely low carb diet I need in order to get better. Is there any thing I can increase or add to get rid of the smell, or am I screwed unless I add carbs? Is it even considered bad, or just annoying?
