Going Pro with Fitness Goals

[I.R.A]

10? I am more of a 9 person with 3 sets per game

That too is fine, but variation is a must.

I hate gym ... It's the most boring activity ever! Drives me bonkers ..

That too is fine, but variation is a must.

Got a bit over ambitious on leg day yeah so walking with stiff legs today

Finally today I have reached 10,000 Calories burned mark

You need to have a negative calorie count at the end of the day. Burning 10000 is not going to help if you have replaced them with 15000 calorie.

I have recently started going to gym. I was at 119kg, I have lost 10.4kg so far. Morning workout is the best.

Finally, with some struggle and focus, I have managed to pass 16,027 Calories burn in my workouts
I hope that I can continue to do well and reach 20,000 Calories mark the next milestone

Really aiming to go for 40,000 Calories burn goal

When I started the journey, it felt like climbing Mount Everest or K2
but small steps and more small steps have made progress

Effort for July - August - September if you put in the time, you will see the difference

Critical information missing: Whats your age? What was your weight when you started and how much is it now? What is your daily caloric intake? What is your BMI and BMR, any changes there? Is there any measurable increase in strength, if so by how much? How many hours a day sleep you are getting? Do you feel more energetic now or have an increased feeling of always being tired? etc

These are just few of things that you also need to keep an eye on and in no way I am looking down at your progress but since you have decided to catalogue your progress I can not see any results being shared here.

Best of luck.

I have been doing weight lifting for around 4 years on and off. (Total spent 7 years but the first 3 years reading and researching whilst sitting on the couch). I started from light weights and now mostly do heavy weights. It was a long difficult journey but I feel fitter than I was when I was in my 20s. I can advice brothers and sister from experience and this can save you many years of your life.

1st - The number one target in fitness is your diet.
Download an App called MyFitnessPal. The best friend you will ever have. Record all the foods you eat. Measure everything, even if you ate one nut.
This way you will know exactly what goes in your body, and whatever your feeding your body is what you are and how you feel. Junk eating = Junk Individual. So have mercy on yourself. It's a long difficult journey to a revolution but trust me you will love it. You will feel different personality. Pizzas, Burgers, chips, crisps, chocolates, cakes,.mitai will feel like eating poison

2nd - Your training routine. Download an app called JeFit, It will record all your workouts, Recording what you do is very important, for progress, motivations, mistakes etc.
Remember if your going to make your body suffer then you will suffer later on in life, so it's best to take step by step.
Your goals are very important. Do you want to be a fit slim guy, do you want to be a bodybuilder, do you want to be strong, do you want to be better at sports. The answer to all these will give you a different training method. If a fast runner starts to build alot of muscle then he will become slower. So it all depends.

I picked I want to be really ruthless strong so I mainly use a bar and weight for training.

The bar is really amazing, you can train in such a way that you can build muscles, be stronger and also improve stamina.
I also do boxing in order to build stamina and fighting skills.

Do not use machines, Stay away(not all). Your body is not a robot. We were born to be free. What is the point of picking 100kg on a machine and you cannot pick up a bucket full of water and walk around. Remember the machine trains you and your muscles in a certain way.

Looks good but use the bar aswell. Its amazing. It will build your stabilisation muscles aswell.

Are you trying to cut 40,000 calories a day. Sounds very dangerous. You will loose weight but it can make you ill. Remember your body and organs need rest, they need water, and dont suddenly over work them. We have to slowly build up and if you over work your body then your body will slow down. The counter could say 1500 calories burnt but in reality your body might just burn 500.

Your a hard working lad so good on you. I am impressed. I suggest sticking to 10,000 calories burnt a week and eat 2000 calories of good food. You should be loosing 2 pounds of weight a week from this. Depending on what your weight and body size is. One pound of fat has 3500 calories so with 10,000 calories burnt from exercise is very good. The rest you can cut from diet.

OK. I have also recently started exercising after 8-9 years of inactivity.

My weight during that period increased from 82 to 99 KG (Height 5'11").

I used to be play basketball in my college/uni days. Also played squash for a year or so (one of the best exercise for cardio).

I became inactive due to long hours in the office.

This resulted in weight gain and some other problems related to back, neck, knees e.t.c

I have currently started exercising. It has been two weeks now using calisthenics. Have installed a makeshift pull up bar for now. It is supporting my weight.

My current weight has gone down to 96 KG.

Does anyone know if the iron gym type pull up bars damage the door or not. I don't want to drill holes in the wall for a pull up bar (rented home).

Will buy some cheap weights later on too.

Looking to reduce my weight to 82 KG in 12-15 months.

Good workouts. Add twice a week heavy weights and your good for the next 10 years

I think pull up bar will damage your door. But it could depend on your weight aswell.

That red bar is the barbell. In addition, it has a separate barbell to use for curls.

Since my last post on the thread. I had injured my shoulder doing hand stand push ups (using a bench) thinking I still am as fit as I used to be.

Right now just rehabbing the shoulder.

I have bought a few resistance bands to assist me with pull ups and other stuff but will take it slow till my shoulder gets better.

After a consistent struggle I have crossed 20,000 Calories mark
Feeling very positive, that is 50% of my goal

In July I set on a goal to target up to 40,000 Calories burn
