Not just hitting the gym if you want to lose weight. Have balanced meals, sleep well...etc

What routine? Gym or meal time?

To workout, you don't really need fancy equipments. Using your bodyweight to do squat, push up, pull up is really effective.

For meals if you don't have time, I will suggest doing food prep once a week, cooking several meals at once and storing it af the fridge. Take it out to microwave when it is meal time.

Remember to have at least one rest day per week to let your body recover

Currently as I grow older, I went from a 6 days workout per week to a 5 day routine. It enable my body to recover faster and I still see them gainz coming

i dropped out of jogging regularly... i need to go back. its not about losing weight cuz i dont need it, but for overall wellbeing and i jog lightly, but still it's so hard

maybe when i decide to pick it back up it'll be easier to stick to the habit since i managed to get the rhythm of it once

Hmmm. Maybe start off by jogging 1 round or two. You can slowly increase the number of jogs as you get ysed to it. Listening to music might help. Or you can jog around scenic areas

I was about to make a thread like this but decide to dig through the graveyard

Picked up jogging this month because I really want to focus on my physical health this year; I'm currently using the Couch to 5K app to help me build up that stamina and habit. The first week was really tough - I struggled to jog for 60 seconds straight without dying... lol, but the more I do it, the better I'm slowly getting, which is crazy (to me) how much you can improve in such a short amount of time.

I usually jog 2x a week, in the app they try to encourage 3x a week but I thought I'd ease myself in, especially during the beginning. I've redone the first week twice (of what's instructed in the app), and now I'm on my third week of running (but week 2 on the app), and I can now jog for 100 seconds straight! It may not seem much to others, but it's a huge achievement for me!

Let's revive this thread with tales of fitness.

Since I started my running journey last year I have always struggled with the slow run, also called recovery run or, as I found out recently, the zone 2 run because you should be running with your heart rate in zone 2 (60 to 70 percent of your max heart rate). I was a state level sprinter (400M) as young athlete so speed was my thing.

But today I set my watch to tell me whenever I switched heart rate zones and studiously tried to keep it in zone 2, I ended up running with my heart in high zone 2/low zone 3 and I learned the pace I need for these long recovery runs for the first time and ran for an hour and felt great afterwards, I dipped into zone 4 during a climb but that can't be helped.

What do you study in Sport Science? Is it the mechanics of it, the management, the psychology all of those things? Any non-athletes study it?

What do you study in Sport Science? Is it the mechanics of it, the management, the psychology all of those things? Any non-athletes study it?

Right now, I am taking up a Diploma in Sports and Exercise Science and below are the modules that I am studying right now:

Sports and Exercise Nutrition
Principle of Weight Training
Functional Anatomy
Professional Studies
Sports and Exercise Psychology
Physiology of Sports and Exercise
Biomechanics of Sports and Exercise
Method of Group Exercise/Sports Coaching

The management part will be for those taking up Diploma in Sports and Leisure Management where it is more business based. What I am studying is more Science based.

Yes, non-athletes do study it too. For example, my crush is an assistant dietetic at a hospital, while another classmate is actually a food nutrition professor. The job opportunities after studying include working as: Personal trainer, Nutritionist, Sports Scientist, Biomechanistic..and more (Although some of the job might still require extra studies such as taking up a Degree in Sports Science)
