Mildly fit people in GV, what's your fitness regime?

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into?

Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

Pretty fit and the last body checkup showed everything is within range

  1. gym 4 days a week. Not messing around here, I’ve been working out with the same trainer for 5 years

  2. 1.5 scoops of protein shake post workout

  3. no meditation/yoga/pranayam because I find it immensely boring

  4. no sugar with tea/coffee. Skip breakfast. 2 rotis and chicken for lunch. 2 rotis dal and chicken for dinner. I’m a south Indian so rice once in a while is a must

  5. full day fast once a month

Now I have a decent body and super proud of it

Good luck homie

Impressive. But isn't breakfast a must? Isn't that supposed to be the biggest meal of the day?

I would like to answer. It depends what your goal is. If your goal is to lose fat and gain muscle, you have to be in a caloric deficit diet.
So you have to manage your eating schedule accordingly.

I am in the cutting(Caloric deficit) phase right now and i also skip breakfast as i have to eat before the gym in the evening. It depends upon your goal.

How is your experience with deep tissue massage? Reason for using it?

It has been great for me to help with muscle soreness and improve flexibility. I do bunch of dumb stuff by pushing my limits sometimes. As a result, I have had issues with stiff muscles before. This helps me negate that and stay consistent in an injury free manner.

Hey what do you mean by full fast? Like just water and nothing else for 24hrs? Does it help?
