  • Nope, not following any routine or anything. so far the extent of what ive done is a good amount of cardio on an elliptical machine and lunges on a weighted lunge machine (no idea what type the one at the gym i go to is called, couldn’t find it on a google images search) that had a sticker on it saying it works the Glutes. I guess i’m focusing certain muscle groups like legs and back (and my ass, of course)?

    All the ones at my gym have stickers that show the muscle groups they focus.

    Edit: I will say, the pain/soreness got drastically better after the 4th or 5th time going regularly. I stopped taking ibuprofen for it. Regular joint pain also improved. It was worth it for that alone and I’m a little mad about it taking me this long to start going.

    I’m about 240 pounds and almost 30 so really need to lose weight and actually be reasonably fit. My parents are at the age where lack of exercise really caught up to them, so that kinda scared me into action.




  • I think i may have successfully formed a good habit for the first time in… ever?

    I’ve been going to the gym, regularly, 3 days a week, for a couple weeks now. Not at like, a specific time of day, but it is getting done. This week I’m gonna start adding some weights after the 30 minutes of cardio!

    Leg day related machines here i come! i will surely come to regret that in the short term (jk i used to love leg day)








  • I started exercising for the first time in like 4 years. Just solid 30 minute cardio sessions on an elliptical machine (doesn’t cause me knee pain). First time sucked and i was extremely sore afterwards. Second time sucked slightly less, somewhat less sore. Third time (today) wasn’t horrible, and I’m… a little tender and a bit tired, but otherwise feel fine? Planning to add leg day on top of cardio in a week or so once I’ve got a consistent habit built a little more.

    Also, its fucking hot out, and my AC cant keep up (combination cheap/crappy AC unit and second/top floor apartment). Its going to be 90 degrees or higher out for the foreseeable future, and its been about 76-80 degrees indoors by the afternoon, stays that way until almost midnight 😭
