A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Anyone can recommend on how to >start< getting fit? 

Ever since Covid I gained a lot of weight. Went from a total stick to being 98kg.

I'm not really interested in growing a lot of muscles or turning into a gym bro, just really want to lose some weight and gain more endurance.

Is doing this bike/cycle thing enough?

The beauty about being fit is that there are many activities you can pick from. Heck, you can be into DDR and be fit, it is just going to take more time. You can use a vr headset with a weight vest and that will make loose weight. Are they the most effective? Probably not, but what matters more is consistency. You have

Calorie counting is also important, but dietary wise the easiest way IMO is fasting. You get to eat during 8 hours in a day and nothing except eat yet and coffee the other 16 hours.

TLDR
- do an activity you are most likely to do. Weekly consistency is key
- fasting: 8 hours eat, 16 hours fast

You can change your activity once you reach a fitness level you are happy with. There are so many physical activities you can do that honestly it is a joy being alive.

Also, don’t be so repressive towards weight lifting. Weight lifting is probably the fastest and easiest way to get fit. The more muscles you have the quicker you burn calories. I have done weights, running, triathlons, Dance dance revolution and VR workouts with a vest. lifting weights will always be #1 for me.

Finally! Share your progress with us! We will encourage you here. If you have questions ask them and we will answer them!

To do the THING frequently enough. that is the hard part.

 try to imagine which activity you are most likely to stick to for the rest of your life. Once you get to a fitness level you are happy with, you can pick another sport. Again, what matters more is consistency, and anything that helps you being consistent.
