Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2018: One Step At A Time

My goal for 2022 was to get rid of a certain percentage of fat in my body. The whole spring I couldn’t lose weight and now I get it and I'm happy. Of course, this took some time, a lot of exercise in the gym, vitamins and supplements from Canada Drugs, a lot of water and a balanced diet. I feel very good in my new body now. I don’t stop doing sports because it also brings me pleasure!

I could stand to shed some pounds this year. I almost succeeded and only thanks to the help of https://betterme.world/articles/lose...weeks-workout/ . It's very cool. Of course, there is only a month and a half left until the end of summer and the swimsuit season, but it is better to reach your goal already. My friends also tried to lose weight, but they didn't succeed, and when I recommended my method to them, they also began to lose weight.:D

Goals for the next couple weeks:

-More home cooking
-Less grazing, even though I work in direct care
-Walk more, like 2 miles, 2-3x a week.

Moore's Law almost guarantees it.

229.9, first time under 230 for a decade. Down 22 pounds in 8 weeks of eating better and exercising, go figure.

I need beginner arm exercises if anybody has good ones. My legs are great from carrying all the weight, but have noodle arms and want to tone them.

Hell yeah!

Basic lifts. Get yourself some adjustable dumbbells or bands or traditional dumbbells.

Can anybody recommend a brand or style of weights for a man who begins with noodly arms? I am really hoping to use strength training to (1) be able to hold my arms above my head for more than 10 seconds at a time to fix a lightbulb without it being agony, (2) help me build my core which sucks harder than Jeb's Mom, and (3) build muscle to help me metabolize faster and help me lose more weight. I dropped easily from 250 to 240, them dropped steadily from 240 to 230 reducing calories and walking 5 miles a week, but have plateaued now at 230. I have read that increasing muscle tone also helps with the cycle of healthy weight loss, I assume because muscle fiber requires more energy to maintain itself again entropic forces (?).

If you want weights, check Garage Sales, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc. Usually they are prevalent and are posted by motivated sellers.

Are you suggesting these are from New Years resolutions that lose steam in March?

Or people like who’ve had two shoulder surgeries and can no longer use 450lbs of barbell weights. I still have my dumbbells, ranging from 2-55lbs. I’m going to need heavier dumbbells in the near future.
