Workout Routine Questions

Hi, sorry this isn’t really fasting related but this is my favorite page and I get the most answers out of it. So I’ve been doing IF and the gym for awhile now. Done just about 90 pounds. But, all I’ve done at the gym is cardio and occasionally the planet fitness half n hour workout yellow room. (Prolly once a week) anyway, what I’ve been doing worked great for me, lost 90 pounds in about 9-10months but now that the weight is gone I want to move off cardio and get into weight training full time. Problem is I’m extremely intimated and have no where to start. Was hoping someone would either tell me here or dm me and I’d be willing to give out my phone number just to have someone explain their gym routine, as in what days do what and on each day what workouts you do, how many sets and reps, etc. would be so helpful as I’ve been putting it off for 2 or 3 weeks now. Thanks!!

Answer

6 to 12 repetitions of each movement, if it’s legs then up it to like 12 to 20.

Keep it simple with compound movements cause they work more muscles per movement. Shoulder press, or squat shoulder presses, squats, push ups or bench presses if you have access to a gym( I do not, so it’s calisthenics for me), resistance band rows, and for some accessory work I do resistance band bicep curls and triceps extensions.

Someone on youtube has a video for each of those exercises I’m sure.

I hadn’t made time for exercise in the morning while fasted until about a week ago or so, wish I had started it earlier but was lazy and did them after work while I was in my eating window, but that much of it is a preference to train fasted or not.

HodgeTwins / FastingTwins / TwinMuscleWorkout, Chris Jones PumpChasers / Physiques Of Greatness, Elliot Hulse, BullyJuice. I used to get alot of motivation and workout ideas from these youtube channels back in the day and still go back to watching their older stuff from time to time on YouTube.

Hey I hope you find your way as I’m still learning and figuring out stuff as I go. Little bit more every day

Answer

I’d start with an introduction to all of the machines by a trainer at the gym. Most gyms offer this for free.

Habit Nest publishes a series of journals that give you a set of exercises with a place to record your sets and reps plus an explanation and online videos of the proper form. They have options specific to home and gym, and you can buy as a pdf (and print a few pages to bring with/put on your phone) as well as printed.
