    Beginner Fitness: Did my first real workout today

    Beginner Fitness: Did my first real workout today


    Did my first real workout today

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:21 PM PST

    I hopped on the exercise bike for about 10 minutes and stopped for about 5 minutes before going back on for another 15. Needless to say by the end it felt like my kneecaps were replaced by softballs.

    Working out with Asthma

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:52 PM PST

    Normally, asthma is almost non existent for me. (Very bad as a kid, kinda just grew out of it.) It's acting up on a daily basis now because of something wrong with allergies being out of control. Now while I have medication that kind of controls it while waiting for a specialist - I can still feel it's there and I'm scared to do high impact cardio as a result.

    Since late Dec 2020, I've been doing yoga and low impact cardio (Fitness blender beginner routines.) I do 30 or 40 minute videos, and since last week do one a day, Mon-Fri. Sometimes if that day is bad for the asthma, I do a yoga routine instead. Wondering if this sounds like a good place to be right now, and/ or if anyone knows relatively safe ways to step it up without giving myself an attack?

    Leg Spacing for squats

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 03:05 PM PST

    Hi all. This is my first post here.

    I'm wondering if it's OK to do a wider stance while squatting. I don't know if it's because I'm chubby, but I can't get as low as I'm supposed to in a squat if I keep my legs apart at the recommended shoulder width distance. But if I spread my feet apart a little bit wider, I can squat down pretty far.

    I use a weighted barbell why squat too. Personally, it feels like the wide-stance squat engages more muscles than the shoulder-width squat.

    Anyway, I'm happy to have found this subReddit

    Get Strong Legs Even With Knee Pain (Try These!)

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 08:47 AM PST

    Knee Pain doesn't need to stop you from getting strong legs. Follow along with us for these knee safe leg exercises.

    Follow Along

    If you've ever woken up after leg day and had your joints hurt more than your muscles, you might be in the same boat. Training with knee pain can be difficult, but it doesn't have to eliminate strengthening and toning your quads, hamstrings, and glutes.

    We modify, adapt, and over come with these knee safe exercises.

    You will need a bench, box, chair, or something about knee height.

    Today we're focusing on rep count - 16 specifically - to target an ideal general toning and strengthening range. If this is your first time, you may want to stick with body weight. Otherwise, feel free to grab some dumbbells or kettle bells for:

    Reverse Lunges (16 per leg)

    Box Squats (Eccentric - down over 3 seconds)

    Split Squats (16 per leg)

    Glute Bridges

    Donkey Kicks (16 per leg)

    Hip adductors / abductors (16 per leg, per exercises)

    And of course a mystery bonus to close us out.

    It's worth saying this more than once - start slow. Try body weight first and see how you do before adding weights unless you are use to training your lower body with knee pain. These are joint safe exercises, but if you've avoided training legs because of pain, you may have some imbalances, underactive/overactive muscles, or have problems with balance.

    Start slow, progress when ready.

    Train hard, stay safe. No matter where you are in your Fitness Journey, you'll always Fit In with us.

    Pathetic first attempt at a run

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 10:50 AM PST

    Just spontaneously decided I needed to get my sedentary arse outdoors for a run, thinking I could easily smash a minimum of 2 miles. How wrong was I! Struggled through 1.32 miles in 13 minutes which left me coughing like a 79 year old chain smoker. I have a lot of work to do!

    Scared of dead lifts

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 03:44 PM PST

    I go to the gym 3 times a week and do a full upper body routine. I will add legs but right now just getting back focusing on upper body. From everywhere I read dead lifts are a fantastic work out BUT! oddly I'm scared to do them. Anyone else experience this?

    Tell me it gets easier...

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 12:42 PM PST

    I have PCOS and losing weight is a struggle. I wanted to start working out but with the pandemic I didn't feel comfortable going to the gym, so my husband essentially made us a home gym with a Bowflex, recumbent bike, free weights, a weight bench, and specifically for me a ProForm HIIT H7, which is a vertical elliptical. I asked him for an elliptical because I figured it would be easier on my knees, but he got a vertical one and holy hell it's hard. I don't want to admit defeat, and I'm ashamed to admit it, but I can only do about 5 minutes on it before I'm out of breath and my knees are killing me. I know I'm a beginner. I know it's new. But dear sweet baby Jesus that shit is hard and I feel like I'm dying. Just looking for a little inspiration or motivation or words of encouragement because right now I feel like trash.

    Best workout bench for under €200?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 03:59 AM PST

    I am looking to get a sturdy, reliable workout bench for lifting dumbells, and for doing sit-ups.

    My budget is around €200. I would really appreciate any help with it, as I have seen a few on Amazon such as Flybird but im not sure which one is the most reliable!

    Thanks

    What would be your tip to battle against your body insecurities?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2021 11:31 PM PST

    I've tried for many years to get rid of my lower belly or slim my legs so they don't touch together.

    I still focus some workout in these 2 areas, but I've also understood that some things are genetics or hormonal (my lower belly). Sometimes it's better to accept and embrance ourselves :D

    This is some exercises I use to target my body insecurities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nIvP2tVohY&t=2s
