I joined a gym

I care bud. Good on you man. I go back forth with the gym myself. I get really motivated for 6 months and then I don't do shit for 6 months. Me thinks I don't like the cold weather so I don't go outside -_-

I love the cold weather haha. The summer is the worst time.

Although I am confused as to what is a good workout length. Idk if 50 mins is even a good amount of time. Most of that was on a moderate incline treadmill at a little over 3mph. Do people really work out for two hours a day? Or is it mostly shorter times? I saw plenty of people in th gym and I feel like I came in and left pretty quick but it really was 50 mins.

If you want to get a really good workout in, if your gym has a stair climber its the way to go. I've worked up to doing about 20-30 minutes a day on level 10 and I feel amazing now.

What pokemon type you specializing in?

A little annoyed I have seen not much progress yet. I feel like I've been doing a good amount of working out and watching what I eat but have seen very little results so far.

You have to lift weights too. Just cardio isn't going to give immediate results.

Just had the best workout yet. I decided to redownload Yugioh on my phone and play that on the treadmill since I play decks that don't require a lot of input on my part and I can kinda just watch the duel and play a few cards here and there. I was hoping it would distract me and it totally worked.

450 calories burned on the treadmill
125 calories burned on the bike
about 50 reps on various weight machines

Even if the machines overestimate the calories burned a little bit, I spent about an hour of excercising not including any breaks I took. I used the massage chairs I had access to and could have worked out more but my phone was dying and didnt want to overwork myself. Today was a good day tho lol

Even if the machines overestimate the calories burned a little bit,

In my experience they roughly double the value. But, if you're mindful with portion control and food intake, and you're active enough, it all comes together at the end anyways.

What's important is being consistent and habitual. Keep it up <3

Someone explain zones to me because I have no idea what that means lol.

but yeah I had about the same amount of working out today as yesterday. I just did a straight hour on the treadmill at like 2.3 mph on a middle incline. Says I burned 612 calories and climbed 999 feet.

and my usual meal lately has just been grilled chicken with fried onions and peppers. Pretty much been eating it every day

I'm wondering if it's better to do more reps with lighter weights or less reps with more weights tho

depends on your goals. If you wanna get a lot of muscles (hypertrophy), sets in the 5 to 12 range is fine. If you're focusing on burning calories and increasing endurance, >12 is also pretty awesome.

100 reps is probably excessive, and you can get the same thing (calories burned with muscles fatigued, with rest to promote growth and gains) done in less time. But, aiming for 100 reps isn't necessarily bad either. If you do indeed knock out 100 reps, great! Next session aim for 101 reps or go for 100 reps at 72.5 lbs or whatever.

And yeah Im more concerned with burning calories and fat atm than muscles.

a little bit frustrated because Ive been stuck in the 237ish range for days now. Went and did pretty much only weights today

1. Consistency is key. Even a low impact workout is better than no workout. If you can only get a half hour in instead of your normal 2 hours, so be it.
2. When it comes to your weight, worry more about how you look/how your clothes fit than the actual number. My weight has fluctuated anywhere between 305 and 185 in the last 16 years, and I'll tell you, people said I looked unhealthy more at 185 than at 305.
