/r/Fitness Has a few good programs to look at, specifically; https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/wiki/programs

Have a browse through those and see which you like the look off, I'm going to be trying the 5/3/1 program starting this week because I too just joined my local gym.

All the best brother!

Do cardio (at least once a week)
Lift weights
Control your diet
Avoid sugar and salt as much as possible
Have sufficient amount of rest

Slowly but surely, you will see results. Good luck!

Biggest tip I can give you is don't get discouraged if you don't get the results you want when you want them. You're making a lifestyle change, not a temporary time investment. You're gonna fail lifts, you're gonna have unmotivated days, you're gonna want to quit. Just stay the course, it's for the best

Hey! Glad to see you making a change for yourself. Can you give me some numbers? Height, weight body fat percentage if possible...

85% diet and 15% exercise for weight loss. You need 1 hour of cardio to burn the calories of just a big burger. Also, jumping rope is 2x more efficient at burning calories, than running, go google it yourself.

Weight is all in the diet. I'd recommend watching some diet related videos from a YouTuber called, What I've learned. Here are some of his videos I found most helpful.

Added sugar being a posion:

It's a lot of videos, but they seriously turned my life around. Good luck on your journey :)

Hey dude, I help people in these situations for a living. If you have any specific questions i'd be happy to chat with you so you can ask a PT/nutritionist your questions in real time. I'll help you cut through the random/shit advice and help get you started :)

A few general tips: Do not place to much emphasis on being a cardio bunny, learn to weight train and at this stage of your weight loss journey i'd suggest some low impact circuit training. Workouts don't need to be over an hour long, you can get a great intense workout in 30-45 mins.

WALK, low impact, fat burning magic. Walk everyday at a brisk pace. If you can manage it, walking after meals helps tremendously ( 20-30 mins)

Aim to reduce and/or cut carbs, this has a massive impact for many people, myself included.

Don't waste money/time in supplements unless/until you have the above fundamentals down and even then most of them are completely useless. Electrolytes might help, fish oil for sure if you are omega 3 deficient, perhaps some Vitamin D if you don;t get a lot of sun.

If you want to ask anything more specific just shoot me a message - happy to help.

Crush it!!!

Another idea is to do Crossfit as it's a mix of cardio & strength / lifting.

The benefit is that the coach is looking as you and gives you instructions how to correct yourself.

Diet. Diet. Diet.

One meal a day.

No fucking excuses

Don't even worry about lifting yet.

Get your fucking diet in check.

At you weight just go for a daily walk. Don’t run or try anything super intense, your body cannot handle it right now. You will get injured if you try it. Go lift weights on the machines 3 days a week, with a day between to recover. Ease into it. It’ll take around 12 week’s to really see your body changing. You’ve got this, you can do it.

Slowly cut out soda, candy and processed crap. Limiting sugar will cause the largest change in your physique. More so than all of the work you put into the gym.

When you are lacking motivation just go. You’ll find that once you get in the gym you won’t want to leave immediately.
