/fit/ here

I used to go to the gym when I was 16, but it got really boring after a couple of years.
Now I do boxing which is way more exhausting and is actually fun.
It's much more useful too. The aesthetics don't compare though, but they're alright.

I just had an appendectomy so I can only do cardio for now. =/

hey book fags, suck my girth.

hahaha weak ass nerds, get fucked. read a book about how gay you are (your diary). hahahahahahha fuck you

I call bullshit, running is the oldest and most natural form of exercise there is

Who's the most /fit/ writer?

Did you watch it, what exactly do you disagree with?

mishima

who else?

Goethe, read his autopsy report

If you keep to cardio (running for ~0.5 mile to a mile at various paces daily with a sub 2000 cal diet how quickly does Yea Forums think I can get lean

You should follow a half marathon/10k training plan. It'll lay out a few months of incremental increases in distance without overdoing it and it'll hold you accountable. Running is the best, it can be very meditative over about 3 miles

Runners don't have good physiques, running wears down your ligaments, burns few calories and catabolizes muscle if you do too much of it.

If you want a lean physique you need to lift weights, eat a high protein diet and cut calories

So you suggest what as an alternative? I just started jogging and this is deflating to hear, although I'm not going to go off of anecdotal anonymous comments 100%. I'm fasting 18/6 and thinking about giving keto a try. Should I say "fuck keto" and just fast, watch calories and do some ole thenics?

I just want to run until I’m as lean as I used to be—then I’ll slow down on that and starting lifting full time. Will this work?

The problem with keto is it's low protein and you don't focus on get the proper nutrition you need from animal products (meat, fish, liver, cheese are the most nutritious) and vegetables like spinach, red peppers, blueberries, etc. and instead usually eat lots of bacon and eggs because those are the only things with a keto macro-nutrient composition.

If you do a calisthenics routine (pushups, chinups, and squats) 3 days a week and then add running on top for some further aerobic conditioning you can get a great physique. Running isn't useless, people just think its the best thing you can do to improve your health and strength training is a supplement for advanced atheletes when in reality the opposite is true. The greatest quality of life improvements and longevity and general health benefits are obtained in the shortest amount of time through strength training. Further aerobic conditioning on top gives further marginal benefits.

Calisthenics is a decent substitute for barbell strength and conditioning in the absence of equipment but barbell strength training remains the most time-effective way to improve general health.

Lol no, just eat less.

You dont need excersise to get lean, just eat less

the easiest way to get lean is to do stuff like calisthenics and hill sprints, while eating a meat/vegetable diet. You can have carbs too just focus on meat/vegetables.

Bump

eat less faggot

Why is /fit/'s taste in books so bad?

Does /fit/ have a taste in books? The only book I see recommended around there is Starting Strength.

They have a hard on for Aurelius, he will come up in any tangentially related book thread

Well, I think the meditations are fine.

As a former skelly, you think you are eating way more than you actually are. I won't debate that you feel full but there is no way you are eating enough to get bigger. Don't just do it to be a fatass so you should lift as well. It will cure the lanklet syndrome. Try tracking calories exactly for a week and see how much you are really getting. After that, eat slightly more each day until you build up an appetite. I promise you are just eating too little. Your metabolism is not special.

>Your metabolism is not special.
I didn't say it was. Back when I was a freshman in college, I even gained the most weight I had ever been, around 10 pounds more than my average weight, but I ate really badly that year, and then years later I gave up soda, and I rarely drink beer.

Today, I basically eat one large meal a day at dinner, and I might snack on cheese, nuts and dried fruit between meals, or otherwise eat other fruit. I know the stomach stretches or contracts overtime depending on how much you eat, so I have suspected that my stomach capacity is not that large, at least compared to a "normal" size for my body type.

Whenever I've eaten more in one sitting than I usually do, I feel slightly sick, and I know my stomach is at its limit, but I usually eat enough dinner to just up to that limit.

Really ruins many actors. That's why most actors are thin.

ok

If you are skinny fat (normal weight, but flabby gut, small mantits etc), your problem is not bodyfat but muscle mass. You lack muscle which would distribute your fat over your body more evenly. What you need is muscle growth, so no cardio, but weight training, lots of protein.

If your skinny fat, you need to fast and do violence to yourself.
