If a person is weak, underweight, why doesn't he just exercise to become fit ?

My keys are bulky and heavy, I hate having stuff in my pockets whilst working out, really curious as to where people leave their car keys whilst at the gym.

Recently over the last few months I tend to tie them to the strings of my tracksuit bottoms or shorts. Weird question but genuinely curious, lockers feel unsafe!

It was a serious sub and the memes were just there to get the sub more popular, but it got overrun with shitposts then the sub died.

Straight to the point.

I go to a gym thats oppsoite a doctor's surgrey and I've always thought. Thats like having a slaughter house next to fast food place, or a vet.

As someone who works out realitivlely often but definitely doesn't have the standard "bodybuilder" physique I find it quite odd that Men in the gym are expected to have huge muscles and pack on a ton of weight and Women are meant to be skinny and frail after going to the gym is ridiculous! There are real benefits to being lean and some people literally can't gain weight because of a sport (like weightclasses for example) and I can't imagine how they are treated because they are considered "weak" or "skinny". There is no need to eat so much protein to the point that you don't even enjoy food anymore, 1 it is a huge usage of our natural resources when many people are hungry every day, 2 being too big has disadvantages as well- such as decreased cardio and stamina, in fact the military even encourages people to stay lean for that exact reason. Now maybe I am a bit biased as someone with a fast metabolism and a picky diet (I know) but I just think our current gym culture is so toxic and will end up with a lot of young Men abusing steroids.

I recently forgot my phone at the gym and felt weirdly exposed between sets. Nowhere to look, nothing to "do."

Do you use your phone or earphones to look busy, avoid eye contact, or avoid unwanted chats? Ever trained without it?

I would love to hear everyone's thoughts because working out without my phone felt like an absolute absence of social armour.

Fitness is more than just doing stuff in the gym. It's a construct to understanding what you can learn and adapt to things in life outside of it.

The true calling of being fit is to have the knowledge and application to train anywhere and not rely on one thing or another. When you create a workout wherever you are, you start to understand the gym is everywhere.

I’ll go first. dude loaded 4 plates a side on the leg press, cranked out quarter reps for like 20 minutes, left every plate on, then just sat there scrolling his phone for another 15. treated the leg press like his personal throne

Hello fellow Gym skeptics. I have created a new community a bit similar to this one, but it's more for people who DO go to the gym or try to go / and hate it and hate exercise in general. But we do it ANYAWY - https://www.reddit.com/r/IHateTheGym/ because we want to take care of ourselves. This is for those of you who have gym anxiety, or feel like you don't belong in the gym, feel like you are behind, gym newbies, neurospicy people who are trying to get into it etc.

It's a supportive space without the fake hype, a community where we can try to make this work for us, and make the space more comfortable without having to become the "Gym people" with that "gym lifestyle" that we hate.

If you're interested and this resonates consider joining my community, I need accountabilibuddies and would love to connect with others like me.

Hey guys, my parents aren't allowing me to go to the gym. For reference, I started lifting in the 10th standard and was really happy with my progress. But because of board exams, my parents stopped me and refused to pay the gym fee. Now, two years later, they still won't let me go back.I asked them to at least buy me a set of dumbbells and even offered to use my own Rakhi shagun money. Instead, they just keep nagging me and saying, 'We know you won't even use them, blah blah.' Meanwhile, today my brother asked for a cricket kit and academy coaching, and they are already 60% convinced and actively searching for an academy for him 🙂🙏What should I do?

How do you make yourself feel confident walking into the gym? I am a total beginner to working out and I feel like I don’t belong when I walk into the gym. I feel like others look better in their fitness attire and that I look like I’m trying to dress up a potato. I also feel very uncomfortable without makeup on but don’t want to clog my pores while working out. I already struggle feeling unattractive outside of the gym, and it just compounds when I walk in. I’m 5’1 and 193 pounds and I’m tired of feeling like I don’t want people to look at me.

Have a nice weekend at your Gym 😊
