After recently discovering that my stomach can no longer tolerate dairy, I have switched to VegaPro. Their chocolate flavor tastes like it came fresh out of cocoa factory and I haven't looked back since. Back to the gym I went and did a light 30 min cardio to start my day.

Ladies and gentlemen, if your job requires you to sit at a desk for 6-8 hours a day, be sure to regularly check your posture and stretch those ass muscles like no tomorrow.

What's your plan for lifts? PPL, full body, or something extravagantly worthy of the buff Gods? :catbuff
 
I went to the gym Wednesday with a friend and I'm apparently in much better shape than I realized

I forget exactly what the lifting stuff was called but it involved dumbells and starting with my elbows at 90 degree angles

10 min treadmill
3 sets of 9 squats
3 sets of 8 pull-ups, but whatever my buddy had the counterweight set to made it way too easy because I weigh a lot less
3 sets of 10 of the dumbell thing I described
15 pushups
10 dumbell presses
And then I did this stationary bike thing where I probably overdid it because it had an interactive game where I had to collect coins and dragons and I was trying to get a high score

Did it feel like you were an obese pigeon trying to flap your wings? If so, those are lateral raises.

This is a good beginner routine to get you started, though, most beginners will start to gravitate towards either full body workouts or a PPL (Push, Pull, Legs) routine. You should also incorporate a good diet so that you're not losing a ton of body fat cause then you will end up looking like a Canadian Sphynx cat.

It didn't feel like that but I think that's what they were called now that you mention it

Define "good"diet
Also "a ton of body fat"
It doesn't feel like have a ton already so maybe that's worse?

I'm 5'10" and I was 168 when I weighed myself on Wednesday, if that helps

They legit have an exercise called a "goblin squat", you can't make this shit up :espurrtf
Define "good"diet
Incorporate a good balance of healthy fats, protein, and all that makes up what calories are. While the industry calls it a "diet", I call it a food prep meal plan. Rice, quinoa, vegetables, fruits, nuts, chicken, lean meat, are all examples of foods you want to incorporate into your regime if you have specific workout goals.

Also "a ton of body fat"
You can use calipers to measure body fat and look up the percentage charge of fat levels and kinda gage from there what your goal is.

Your BMI seems normal, especially for your height, so figure out if you have any goals like if you wanna be lean papi chulo or big bulky hulky :catbuff

I brought receipts

The walking part was 0.63636 miles and treadmill didn't happen
Also bike was 1 mile but I didn't go anywhere
If the treadmill you use has a workouts menu, try the fitness test and then some HIIT.

Your legs will surely love you afterwards :LOS
