    Beginner Fitness: Getting Started (Beginner Friendly Home Workout)


    Getting Started (Beginner Friendly Home Workout)

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:53 AM PST

    Hey everybody!

    Today's workout is great for those who don't know where to begin or those just wanting a total body challenge. You can do this with dumbbells (or kettle bells) or as a body weight routine. We'll show you both variants.

    Follow Along Routine

    The routine is broken up into three rounds each composed of three exercises, and of course one mystery bonus exercise to close us out.

    Each exercise will be 60 seconds in duration. We do this so you have an immovable goal. You can speed through 20 half-assed reps and say DONE! But you can't make 60 seconds go any faster. Do what you can, for as long as you can. If you need a break, take it. Then come back in as soon as you can! You're competing against yourself here. Improve over time.

    Round 1:

    • Floor Press (dumbbells) or Push Ups (body weight)

    • Squats (weighted or body weight)

    • Standing Ab Twists

    Round 2:

    • Upright Row (dumbbells) or Angels and Devils (body weight)

    • Lunges (weighted or body weight)

    • Scissors carries

    Round 3:

    • Over Head Press (dumbbells) or Pike Push Up (body weight)

    • Sumo Squat Hops

    • 90/90 Crunches

    Mystery Bonus

    We'll walk you through the exercises and give you time to rest in between. Because this is time based, this will be a sufficient challenge for beginners and seasoned exercisers alike.

    Let me know if you have any questions or specific needs / goals you're looking to tackle.

    -Ben

    Will being insomniac hinder muscle gain?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 08:56 PM PST

    I've struggled with insomnia since I was 4 and I'm currently taking melatonin supplements but they don't always work and I'm constantly tired. Is lack of sleep going to make it harder to build up muscle or anything? I saw something that said you need sleep to keep gaining muscle.

    Resistance Band Back Exercises - Pull Apart

    What supplements are actually useful when you start out and which are total BS?!

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:51 AM PST

    When I first joined the gym about 2 years ago, I was very skinny. In fact, I was extremely skinny. But I slowly started getting a bigger appetite, which meant that I started to get bigger. But I wasn't gaining weight like crazy. Maybe 3-4 kg in half a month. At the time I thought this was very little. And I started searching for shortcuts. The obvious one that popped up was roids, but I wanted to be natural, so that didn't feel right. Then I stumbled across all the different supplements like protein powder, PWO's, gainer shakes, creatine and EAA's, etc.

    But I didn't know what was actually useful and what was unnecessary... It seemed hard to judge by all the promotions of different supplements... Over the years I have done my research on the useful ones. Recently I found this article on the only necessary supplements, you need. And I gotta say, that I completely agree. In the beginning, you shouldn't be focusing on supplements. Just focus on eating the right things and it will be sorted.

    Hopefully, this article will help at least some new gym-goers, as it would have been very appreciated when I started out!

    Am i skinny fat or am i just skinny?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 03:26 PM PST

    Ive been working out for the past year and i went from being overweight at around 104 kg to being kind of skinny now at around 82 kg. Im 197 cm tall and my BMI is about 20/21. My waist measured at around 87/88 cm and my body fat measured at around 15% or so. My shoulders are much wider than my hips and my legs are really thin. The main problem is that im not toned and i do have a barely visible belly. This leads me to believe that im skinny fat. My chest is fine but the main problem is my stomach area. I have no abs but in the morning i do happen to have a barely visible 2 pack almost. I do body weight training every day and i do some hiit workout every now and then. Now dont get me wrong i dont have a beer belly or anything and i most certainly dont look like most skinny fat guys that ive seen but im afraid that im skinny fat mainly because i have no abs and i have a little bit of fat on my belly. Thats about it, if anyone could help me i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

    Does creatine cause hair?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 03:23 PM PST

    I have naturally very thick and strong hair and none in my family has ever gone bald and yet when I started taking creatine I coudnt help but feel that my hair is weaker. When I pulled it, there would always be some pieces of hair left. Taking creatine made me look swole but I'm not ready to sacrifice my hair for power. Intrestingly, when I stopped taking it my hair went back to normal.

    Will apps like these help me?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:36 AM PST

    https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/six-pack-in-30-days-6-pack/id1338655056

    I'm a beginner, and I obviously don't expect to have a six pack in 30 days, however I found the guide on this app to be very helpful for abdominal exercises

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 10:59 PM PST

    I was wondering what are the benefits of the collagen powder after workout?

    I know it helps a lot for tendons, ligaments, and joints, but I'd like to know if you really had result with collagen?
