Fuck yea, nail it. But promise yourself one thing. That you’re not going to quit. And I don’t mean you’re not going to stop at some point. We all do. But don’t quit. It took me multiple kicks at the can. And the results will come, slowly at first. Even slower later on. But the way you feel better will grow with each work out. Each kick at the can you’ll realize you still remember all the stuff you learned last time and now you’re just adding to your knowledge base.
What you should do is do what feels right. Lots of options. But get comfortable just chilling at the gym and making it a place to hang. I started with just walking on treadmills listening to podcasts. Then like 6 months later weights. Then running. Then a mix of running and weights. Eventually I went full home gym. Have fun, treat it like a hobby. Be as consistent as you can and you’ll reach your goals.
One cool thing j learned late, running and walking burn the same calories if you go the same distance. So for me, I can walk an hour or run 20 minutes. Same calories burned for. But I can walk everyday, I can’t run everyday. Tricks like that help in cutting weight. But keep in mind that’s like a cheeseburger burned, it ain’t much. True weight loss occurs in the kitchen.
Please dont feel like you need to try to do everything at once. But when you’re ready get a calorie counting app like my fitness and start tracking calories for a few weeks, see what you’re taking in. Over time you’ll get a feel for what amount of food you can. eat in a day to lose, maintain, gain weight. It takes time but it can get fun when you see the results. It can get frustrating when you realize some gains/lose are just shadows or a full bladder lol. But most important thing is just doing something.
