Hi guys! For the past… ever, I’ve been putting my health and fitness aside. I tried a few times to get into the habit of exercising to no avail. I’m not overweight or anything but neither am I strong or flexible as I want to be. Mainly because I don’t want to have health troubles later in life. HOWEVER, to get started I needed to google of course and… best 10 xyz, do this, don’t do this, you breathe wrong, you stand wrong, you do everything wrong, this is the only solution. All of these can be found about anything related to fitness. How does one get started with all this nonsense, misinformation and clickable? What’s even real anymore? Thank you in advance :)
There is tons of advice all over this thread, Many roads lead to Rome as they say. But with you looking at osteoporosis it’s time to start lifting
What worked for me was barbell training. The four compound lifts are by far the best bang for your buck, a simple program based around those and eating with intent took me from a lifetime as a skinny guy at 165lbs to over 200lbs and very strong and stout looking
Download boostcamp, choose one of these programs: Greyskull LP, GZCLP, or 531 for beginners. Start with some conservative starting weights and do what the program says. They will slowly progress you up and get you familiar with your compound lifts. They will have you lifting three times per week, and generally you can get it done in an hour or so. After three or four months You can switch over to a slightly more advanced program, I love the simplicity of 531 BBB. Tracking this all on the Boostcamp app really made me love lifting and watching my progress get better and better as time went on.
