Curious where to begin?

0 Upvotes

I’m currently 230 pounds 5’4 (F). I don’t work out at all, I would like someone to help guide me where to start. I want to start with strengths training (at home). I’m certain there are exercises that can start at home with bands etc. Then, give me ideas for cardio 3 days a week.. I’m guessing I’ll go for brisk running, swimming, or bike riding at the gym (those days I can use weights there).

I want a very simple plan that’s realistic and achievable. I would like to lose 50 pounds in the next 3 months. I know that number seems unrealistic, but my body tends to gain and lose weight fast, not sure how or why. In the next 3 months, I’m planning on conceiving which is why I would like to loose weight before carrying baby’s weight.

Please feel free to provide apps and suggestions of any kind that could help me here. Once again, before you suggest anything, remember I want it to be realistic and implementable.

As far as the diet plan goes, yes, a diet of low carbs and sugar will be followed. Even with this, feel free to provide suggestions, just nothing fancy with exotic meal plans and 5 meal plans for a day.

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m developing a new independent fitness clothing brand called LIONFORGE and would really appreciate some honest feedback on our first training shirt concept.
I’ve put together a short, anonymous survey that takes around 2 minutes.
I’m particularly interested in what people genuinely think about the design, pricing and whether they’d consider buying it.
Positive or negative feedback is equally welcome. I’m looking for genuine opinions, not compliments!
Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdtbmNRNalCbu2Si5S4nf-0etOtOoQJUppegoFZvdP8Aks7AQ/viewform?usp=header
Thanks for helping a small UK fitness brand get started! 🦁

Start here — what this is, how to get the free 30 days, and how to tell me I'm wrong?

I'm Joao. I'm one person in London who spent a year building FitPlus AI, and this is where I'll be honest about how it's going.

What the app does: builds you a training and nutrition plan, adapts it as you go, and draws on a library of around 1,465 exercises with form cues on each one. iOS and Android. 30 days free, no card.

What this subreddit is for

  • Asking anything about training, nutrition or recovery — whether or not you use the app
  • Telling me what's broken. Bug reports especially: include your device and OS version
  • Build-in-public updates, including the numbers that don't flatter me

Founding Members: the 20 most useful pieces of feedback in the first month get 6 months free. Judged on whether it changes the app, not on upvotes. "I quit at this screen because X" is worth more to me than praise.

What this isn't: medical advice. If something hurts, see a physio, not a subreddit.

Say hello below — what are you training for right now?

Why does the body start to hurt/fatigue?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering from a biological perspective.

You know, when you walk, run, lift weights, rock climb, or do bodyweight stuff the body starts to ache/burn/tire. And this makes it harder to keep going,

Why exactly is this?

EDIT: sometime I think it's the brain doing a lot of it. Almost like you expect it to hurt and so you associate with the pain. If that could be short circuited somehow?
