Bottom text. It's been a few days since I finished my schedule and now I'm really wanting to get back in to workouts. I'm slightly overweight but also fairly strong in the arms and abs. Anyone got any recommendations? I'm looking to maintain muscle mass and lose fat mainly, and other things like improving stamina and building up legs will.
What was the 30 day program like? I'd recommend putting together a weekly plan of workouts, ones you enjoy enough to do regularly, that you're confident wont cause injury, and which exercise the entire body. (and don't forget to give yourself rest days!)
Pullups and Squats are the essentials imo
do you have access to equipment? r/fitness has some good routines in their sidebar, and i think they might have bodyweight routines if you don't have equipment. i do a 6 day push-pull-legs routine, but i have all the equipment and a lot of free time lol.
fat loss is more about diet though, you can use an app like cronometer to keep track of what you eat and see if you're consistently eating a lot of extra calories
100% depends on what you wanna do and your goals, but a great starting point is The Recommended Routine over on r*ddit. Essentially zero equipment/space needed to start. I tied a knot in a bedsheet and stuck it in a door for a few months before I even brought a chinup bar. Been doing it since 2016, two days a week (sometimes more, sometimes less). These days I built a pretty decent home gym, but its all "bodyweight" stuff (sandbags, ab rollers, yoga mats, resistance bands, chinup bar). I just worked out in the 8x4 area next to my bed.
You could do the same routine only everything has an extra 3 reps/15 seconds or something. Progressive overload is the principle by which I've found the most success weight lifting.
