I gained a bunch of weight over the last few years and was like 20lbs overweight, now I'm at the high end or a little over for my height, and still have fat around my midsection. I quit drinking for the most part, and my diet is pretty good right now since getting on anti-depressants and not snacking all night.
I'd like to get some muscles, but I hate gyms. I've been doing calisthenics indoors a few times a week. I also have some dumbells, and will jog or hike 2 or 3 times a week.
Should I think about getting more weights or just stick with this routine for now?
As someone who had zero desire to go to the gym and was finally forced to go as an ultimatum, I can say the following.
Go to the gym.
The hardest part is feeling embarrassed that you’re clueless and don’t know what to do. When you do, the pay off is great. You get toned real quick.
I’m 40 and only been going 4 months and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in for decades. Haven’t lost any weight, maybe gained 2 or 3 kilos, but I’ve converted a lot of fat into muscle.
If you need some motivation I can give you my routine as an absolute novice.
i'm interested in ur routine
