I find one of the basic issues with workout is that question on how much workout is really needed.
Like, it's not too difficult to go for a walk or a light jog around the neighboorhood everyday,
or set up an exercise with jumping jacks / push ups / sit ups until you get tired.
But then there's those official workout channels who are like "If you can't clear a run of 25 km in about 2 hours and continue doing 1000 one hand push ups at 100 per minute, you're not exercising."

I get my lifting in at work and probably do about 10K steps a day.
Been working in my diet and people have said I look like I'm losing weight.
My tips are walk more, cook from scratch, and learn to make veggies tasty without adding processed sugars.
No.1167052
>>1167048>>1167048Those latter ones are incorrect, and almost certainly made by someone who has never had to actually lose weight in any meaningful way for any reasons beyond improving their looks (which is naturally valid in its own way, but pretty useless to those wanting to do it for health or weight loss reasons).
There area lot of exercise and diet experts openly admonishing that mindset, and kind of shaming personal trainers who have clearly never been in a less than great physical or mental state that add challenges to the process themselves.

>>1167052I think it also works a perspective for your post.
>>1167047In the end, perhaps there's no need to pay for gym memberships or to buy fancy equipments. And while motivating, you don't really need natural parks or any special landmarks to visit.
A bit of a personal schedule, going for a brisk walk or just setting a youtube play list to do push ups to for about 5 minutes can still make a difference.
(I definitely should see if I can make room for a trampoline again, though)

>>1167047>That magical moment where suddenly you just can't live without it that everyone tells me happens automatically never happens for me.Oh F*** that, I've never had that. Mine has always been more like how I feel about showering... My brain will fight me every single step of the way to motivate myself enough to just freakin start, but once I start it feels amazing. I also treat exercie like the shower: I have to do it. It's mandatory at least twice a week, but preferably every day. If I don't major consequences start happening.
For me at least, it's not so much a magical moment as a, "if I don't freaking do this I WILL get depressed and angry, and that's not fair to both myself and the people I love".
Exercise is freaking annoying lol

i feel in terms of excersise, i could do more in terms of strength and conditioning. cardio is good tho
but my most dire need is to change up diet. i end up working and getting caught up in stuff, and having very little energy or desire to prep my own food, which leads me to rely on frozen food and fast food a bit too often.

Make a huge bowl of pancake mix and separate it into those small sandwhich size ziplock bags. About two cups each. Throw those in the freezer, and whwnever I need some I just take one out and leave it on the counter for about 15 minutes. Boom, instant pancakes at the ready.
I mean I still gotta cook it, but it cuts the time down so much.
I also do that with potatoes (chopping them up into stew sized chunks, tiny chunks for hashbrowns, etc).
Basically anything that I can preportion to be able to just pull out and make one quick meal for myself.
Otherwise I forget things and they go bad...
So many rotten veggies 😫

>>1167066What might be investment for you and everyone in the thread for meal prep are:
Deli cups
Portion scoops
Ladles that are multiple of 2oz.
Painters tape
The deli cups are standard sizes from a cup to a quart. They are reusable but check if you put strong odors in them like garlic and onions as if you smell it then plastic has absorbed it.
Portion scoops just to get a good grasp on how much a serving is and how to scale.
Ladles for liquids but specifically multiples of 2 so they all scale with each other.
Painters table for lable and dates.

>>1167132>>1167135I hope you don't mind if I use this post as a jumping off point for a little rant.
I dream of when someone with capital to burn and a tech-engineer affinity figures out we can have it all. Because we can. It's quite easy with just a small rearrangement of the current laptop tech, but that means it would have to be done by a laptop company, and it would disrupt the market in a way the current players from that side would not like at all. So I understand them not wanting to shoot themselves in the foot. But still, it's just Right There.
Here's the idea. It's very simple. We create three devices. One is an extension card which you can connect to the desktop. The fastest USB would honestly do, but it should probably be internal with a sticking out port, like a graphics card. The port on the outside is gigabit ethernet, perfectly bog standard stuff.
The second device is an access point which has a gigabit ethernet port, and a radio optimized for very fast, very low latency communication on relatively short ranges. No WiFi, can't allow any extra latency.
The third device is basically a laptop - screen, keyboard, touchpad, speakers and all. But it has only a minimum of internal components, mostly just a battery and the other Special Radio, and a few bits-and-bobs to make it all work.
How it would work is the "laptop" would start and then connect wirelessly to the access point, which would be nearby (maybe you could have a few in multiple places in your house). It would send the inputs from its input devices, and receive back a constant stream of video and sound data, which it would display. The access point would get this video and sound data from the card hooked up to the desktop, which would be dedicated hardware for encoding and sending that stuff, and decoding the input data.
And that's it. You can actually kind of bodge this sort of setup together right now, with Steam on a desktop and some random old Linux SteamLink laptop with a good wifi connection as your terminal. With real dedicated hardware it would work brilliantly, giving us laptops effectively with desktop hardware, that are 100% upgradeable like desktops (because it is just a desktop, with a laptop terminal). The drawback is you couldn't actually take this laptop outside of your house, but many laptop users do not do that anyway, they just want to use the laptop on the bed or the table or something (the others can just get a regular laptop). The desktop itself you could place anywhere (say the attic, if you have an ethernet cable that reaches it), so no need to deal with loud fans or whatever. It'd be brilliant.
...but it would mean fewer sales of Expensive Laptops with Fat Specs and the end user could keep their laptop-terminal for a long time while they just repeatedly upgrade the desktop, so y'know.

>>1167154I'll keep that in mind.
>>1167156Even if "they" could, it's very likely to be monetized to be a profitable endeavor whereas adequate exercise is practically free in and of itself unless you want to get really buff.
If you're an individual without much physical ailments, exercise and a good diet should suffice. Though my latest interest is genetically modified humans, but we know that shit is gonna be costly.
