Since we're talking goals, let's define them well. 
  
 I'm 5'8 74kgs that's about ~25% body fat. My goal is to get it down to 15% while trying to keep as much of the weight as possible. 
  
 So looking a target goal of ~65-66 kgs but at 15% bf 
  
 Timeline: By Mar'25. Should be doable. ✌️

maintaining 15% body fat is harder than getting there

I had also the same goal, but you will be fed up of the diet routine following it for years. Then you start feeling of this is what is life. After you lose lot of body fat and stop gym you will gain weight rapidly. 
  
 I personally found power yoga. Best. Have been maintaining healthy BMI for the last 3-4 years.

Yes, I could have used the time in a better way

I would like to see myself eat clean and workout everyday and stick to my fitness plan. I also want to be meditating atleast 4 days a week.

Grapeviners, what are your goals for 2024?

I have only one goal for 2024. 
  
 No. More. Procrastination.  
  
 It has ruined my life enough already. 🙄

I joined a gym to gain weight. I took measurements initially and also today. 1.5 kg weight gain and lost a little tummy fat other than that no noticeable other changes. 


I discussed my diet with one of the gym trainers, He says it is good. 

But now all my motivation is gone.

Joined a gym two months ago, No progress so far.

How can I get 6 pack abs in 3 months?

Gain weight without gym

Which of these workout routines works best for you ? 

Aim - not to become a body builder, but to have a body in good shape and cuts

3 days split vs 4 days vs 5 days split

Product Owner

I am done with Push Pull Legs and doing that 6 days a week. Willing to get a coach if they can make me look more jacked and/or help me run faster, jump higher and lift heavier.

[Thread] What is your exact workout split?

Here’s some context. I have been hitting the gym on and off for like a year now. My body weight is 65kgs. I can bench press 60 kgs, can deadlift 120kgs. I can jog 5kms in roughly 30 mins. I am 21 years old. Though I know these are decent numbers from a health perspective, I feel inferior when looking at people lift significantly more on social media. I feel like my body is not at all in a good shape. I see people posting insane transformations in 3 or 6 months, and here I am stagnant with my progress inspite of hitting the gym for a year now. Do anyone of you guys feel the same way? On top of this, when I share my progress with friends who don’t know much about fitness, they ain’t impressed at all. They see influencers lifting insane numbers and consider that too be the norm. 
FYI I don’t take any supplements, hence hitting my protein target has been pretty much not possible most days.

Is Social media setting unrealistic beauty standards?

Gym peeps, what made y'all started working out?

So I've been working out for a while, I do understand that spot reductions do not work. I lift 5-6x per week and also average 9k-10k step a day. 

I've lost a lot of fat overall I'd say especially from my arms and legs however I don't feel I'm losing a lot of fat from my abdominal area(belly+side). I do feel healthier and much better though and have put on decent muscles.

As for diet, it's not horrible. Negligible sugar intake and eating out/junk is not very common as well. I'd say I order in once in 10 days on average. Usually I'm able to get in 90gm+ protein. 

Should I be doing something differently?

Finance Consultant

It's not like a lot of things have changed. My weight is still the same though as I haven't worked much on my diet but I feel more strength. I feel more powerful. But it's just one month. 

Wanna hear from you guys who have been regularly working out for 6 months, 1 year or more. How life has changed?

One month into the gym and I feel something

[Thread]What are your goals/resolutions for 2024?

I turned 30 last month and I still feel i am a 20 year old. I lost the last 4 years of my life working from home and have started to go to office recently. I never worked together in a team, never been out for team lunches/dinners, never presented my work to the seniors/leadership. I have 4.5 years experience on the paper and my interaction with colleagues in person has been almost zero .

I don’t know how to do my taxes, can’t do basic servicing of my bike, extremely indiscipline’s, rarely track my expenses, can’t say ‘No’, haven’t upskill we and hence stuck in TCS, can’t stick to a hobby or interest, pathetic in managing my time, have no sense of punctuality, socially awakened, overweight with a pot belly and hence have confidence issues, can’t take care of myself in terms of self grooming, couldn’t maintain friendships as I used  to get offended when someone made fun of me or mocked me- my inflated ego is just useless. 

I can’t control my emotions, I sometimes get emotional and have tears in my eyes, I show emotions easily on my face, not smart when it comes to dealing with others, don’t know how much to talk to whom, whom to talk to, how to talk to and when to talk.

I’ve been told I’m pessimistic and highly negative about myself but I’m just saying things the way it is.
I have no responsibilities on life. I’ll be getting married the next year and I know I can take up the responsibility. But I still have the fear of putting my fiancé down. I love her a lot and I never even  would do anything to put her down.

My bad time management skills, inability to focus, getting distracted badly, being a slow learner, not networking, not having idea on making switches regularly, being too lazy and impatient to learn new things, not being updated in terms of on demand skills, tools , technologies, reluctance to learn something new and hence staying in comfort zone has screwed up my career.

I feel stuck and lost in life.
I honestly don’t know what to do.

Do you guys have a diet plan? I haven’t followed any such plans so far, but I'm now thinking of having one. This is what I got from chatgpt. Any changes, please let me know:
