So i want to start working out. I haven no equipment and none of the confidence to join a gym. So...anyone wanna help me design a workout? Just to get in shape. Wanna put my potential hip/thigh dysphoria into something useful that'll make me feel good about myself, namely eating/drinking better and getting in shape. I've asked my mom before but she doesn't' take me seriously and i'd rather not deal with her. Here's a list of some of the ideas i got - push ups, squats, front plank, side plank, superman, forward lunges, and side lunges. Mostly stuff remembered from childhood gym class. This is the site i was looking at earlier - https://www.acefitness.org/acefit/fitness-programs-article/2863/Top-25-At-Home-Exercises/ so i can learn the forms. And youtube, of course. I have like no stamina so just a quick, five or ten minute routine once or twice a day is what i'm thinking about starting out with. Tried out a few things and i can do 20 push ups and squats each but that's all i tried. So, fitness routine ideas? Right now all i wanna do is get in shape. Since i have no running buddy there's no way mom will approve me going running or walking around the neighborhood so that's a no go. And i have no friends to run with anyways.
Sit ups. If you can't run then a good alternative is a skipping rope. Do you have something you can do pull ups on?
Sit ups, great idea. Can't believe i forgot those lol i hated them as a kid. And no, i don't have anything i can do pull ups on. I mean i don't think i do. I'd have to buy something.
Do you have stairs you can run up and down? Anything heavy you can hold as a weight for squats, lunges bicep curls etc
Yeah i bought weights, just 5lb weights. Kind of just guessed. I can lift 24 packs of soda or water just fine, 28 is pushing it but doable, and i can lift most boxes of beer at work. Doing it with exercises sounds like a good idea! And yeah, i have stairs, but mom has clients and that's awkward. I'm trying to avoid anything that will make noise and get their attention.
Resistance bands. You want to keep increasing the weights and resistance so you keep building muscle. I was thinking the stairs for when they weren’t home or do you have a garden you can do sprints in?
I thought i had the same problem with finding something to use for pull ups . i do have a playground near by with a bar but it was too far so i found a tree. Also worth looking into greasing the groove . http://www.artofmanliness.com/2016/01/20/get-stronger-by-greasing-the-groove/
Burpees I find to be pretty good if you don't have a lot of room to run around , and you'll burn fat while building some muscle at the same time . Look them up if you don't know how to do them. Also look up HIIT high intensity interval training and calisthenics
