Curiosity: Who here exercises?

Yeah, we can destroy habits in a flash that took months to build. At least it's foten easier to go back to after you've done it once but still sucks. Especially when it's something out of your hand like an injury. But it's good you adapted instead of fully stoping :)

Have a fast and good recovery!

I don't recall the last time I played badminton, wouldn't mind playing again, although it's not very common here besides school PE.
Hope nothing too bad and you get back at it soon:)

Oh no! Hope you're better already <3

That's true, I jonly left those options to select what I thought would be primary because technically there could be plenty more, even people who workout a lot but really dislike it too.

This is just my opinion, but waiting for motivation doesn't work because motivation is always temporary and the motivation often comes from taking action, not the other way around. I don't want to sound "lecturing" it's just how I see things and don't get me wrong, i fully get what you mean, it really takes a lot of effort to go against it and I still fail many times to counter it but have accepted that sometimes I'll simply fail and move on from it.

But hope you find something that might makeit easier for you to do so :)

Hope you're right and truly found what you like to keep going at it :)

I don't pratice as often but feel the exact same. If I don't exercise for a while I'm more "anxious", not as great mood. I wouldn't necessarily say depressed but definitely not as well.

I wouldn't say better than any game as I do enjoy playing games a lot more than exercising but certainly more beneficial^^

That sounds really good:)
I never tried doing something like maxing pushups for multiple hours but could be a fun challenge to try for a while to see how it feels like^^

More importantly,after hearing wolf hybrid, it's hard not to ask for a picture^^

You're right, although I would guess you would move in a lab, I wouldn't think it would be that much.
That's good, I sit most of my day and have thought many times to change jobs simply due to that. It's not that I don't like my job, but definitely would like to move more as I have in past jobs.

That's a nice job bonus .:)

Definitely, it gives a lot of quality of life :)

That's really good, that's was/is some challenge. Keep up with it and in no time, you'll achieve your goal :)
Wish you good luck with your workouts:)

I do the same, not to everything but even when I go to other towns, I like to park a bit further which is a lot faster to find and less traffic and just walk my way to things, if it isn't insanely far and have time ofc. That and not using elevators most of the times :)

You're absolutely right, I forgot i t but it might have been for the best or it would all be potato xD

If you ride the bike a couple times a week and do yoga once a week it's already not bad.
May not be the best, but any movement added counts :)

Time to get back at it, the summer is over, winter is coming!^^

Don't doubt that^^
Anyone who has been like that and made a change into being more active definitely knows how much this is true.
As much as I like to play videogames a lot and chill at home, I also like to be active and do multiple stuff so life doesn't get stale and don't lose quality of life:)

That's pretty understandable, as we get busy something has to give, but as long as it's just ups and down and not fully downs, we just keep going^^
Yeah, I try to do the same thing about the diet too, I still eat a lot but those substitutions make all the difference:) Although I've been failing a little lately, xD Girlfriends can make it really hard to eat healthy all the time^^ At least that's always been my case, but still try to balance my best^^

That's already a good thing. Streetching after waking up is so good for us but most people don't do it at all.

Utilizing squirrels make any argument against it impossibe, jk^^
The cold definitely doesn't help and I'm in a moderate weather country so can't really speak for people in colder countries as I believe I would have a harder time too

7hours a week is really great:)
Glad you found something that makes it "easy" to keep fit:)

Definitely better!
I wouldn't say "just" home fitness. It sounds like a nice exercising:)

Don't we all in our ways;P

That's good :)
The way I personally see it, doing anything be it more or less is already a win, sure some days we don't do much, but even if it's just a little, it's the overall consistency of keep going that makes the difference on the long run not the "peak" days :)

Keep going!^^

I've never thought about horse riding as exercise but thinking properly about it, I can see how it is. I only ever rode 2 horses for a small amount of time so wouldn't know much.

Glad you found what you enjoy!:)

Glad to hear people turnarounds and everyone comes to the same conclusion^^
Couldn't agree more with that:)

If your gym contains treadmill. Start with 5mins medium pace running. After running schedule your workout like:
Monday---> shoulders
Tuesday--> Chest
Wednesday---> Wings
Thursday--->Biceps
Friday--->Triceps
Saturday--->Legs
Sunday--->Break
Then repeat.
Diet and sleep plays a important role. Avoid oily and sweet things. I eat grilled food mostly.

In countrary to crazy I would not suggest doing that kind of split. Best is to just google beginner workouts and go from there.
Especially if you are a beginner, you have to give muscles the time to rest and plan ahead on how you will work them. 6 day workouts even if split up is a strain on muscles. And takes up useless amounts of time if you dont go for serious gains.

Most basic one you would be able to find would be doing Back & Biceps, Chest & Triceps, Shoulders & Legs. This way when you do Chest you already have triceps warmed up, but considering that you need to work triceps when doing chest, you are limiting the perfromance of muscles.

My favorite split is Chest&back, arms (tricep, bicep, forearms), legs&shoulders. In this approach you do "Push and Pull" in the same workout. You do an excercise for Chest, then do one for back so chest can rest. Same for arms - do excercise for bicep, then do it for tricep and repeat. Each and other muscle gets to rest while you are training the other one. Legs and shoulders are both pushing group, but since they are on opposite ends of your body, they have chance to rest again.

And take care that muscles need 24-48 hours of rest between workouts before you go at them again.

Honestly I would suggest subscribing to bodybuilding.com - they have very good trainer videos and workouts that you can do. When I started working out some 10 years ago it was still free and I really made a difference after I went through a 3 month workout program. It started off very basic and slowly developed into more difficult concepts.

For example the type of workout crazy suggested - I did one of these which was aimed at huge gains. And even then it was seperated into Chest , Back, Arms, Legs and Shoulders. And two days active rest (running, biking). Six days is overkill. You really do that only if you NEED to give 100% for your triceps without wasting energy on chest. But that has to be calculated.

But of course as others said - concentrate on form first, on weight second. I see again and again ego lifters, who cant even do half a rep but take enourmous weights. No gain from that, only risk for getting hurt. I overestimated my strength in my last workout and actually strained my shoulder after I took a bit too heavy dumbbell. And that is with years of experience and training with an actual trainer. Shit happens, but if you lift with your head, you will be fine. Be careful of asking for hints in gym though. While everyone in gym will most likely be very happy to help out, sometimes wishing well can lead to not so well tips (like crazy.. no doubt he meant well, but I disagree with that split for a beginner). Take my suggestions with grain of salt as well. I am not a professional trainer and I dont have professional education in the field. Read up on professionals and then you can critically evaluate if anything that helps me (or crazy) is also applicable to you.

Don't do one excercise with one weight. You need to load the muscle, so better to start lighter but use higher weight every set. And very importantly - stretch before and after.
