Help me plan my exercise routine /fit/izen 03/19/2021 (Fri) 15:25:58 Id: cffa89 No. 56

So, long story short, I want some advice on planning my exercise routine on Wii Fit U. Pretty much what I have been doing is spending the first hour, every morning doing 10 minutes of "aerobics" (Usually playing a regular Wii game that requires motion controls), then 20-30 minutes of actual exercising (In Wii Fit U), then another 10-20 minutes of "aerobics" (Again, in a regular Wii game). Reason I've followed this routine is because one of the fitness instructors at the gym I used to go to recommended it as the "best" way to get a workout. Another thing they recommended is that I don't do the same exercises every day, otherwise my body starts building an endurance against those specific exercises. So, the routine I've been following for the past few months is just selecting randoms exercises in WFU, five days a week, with Satudays spent going hiking/jogging for an hour (Plan on increasing that time as the days get warmer). Outside of that, I currently work at a fabrication facility, so I spend most of my days walking and lifting (Though, it looks like I'll be let go within the next few weeks). <So, here is my dilemma, what exercises routines would be best recommended in order for me to receive the most benefits? As far as my body's circumstance, I'm currently 5'11", average around 205 lbs. The only real "goal" that I have is that I want to reduce my waist size. Outside of that, I just want to build up the rest of my body, especially when it feels like I spend too much time building up my legs because of everything else I do (Apparently I average around 8000-10,000 steps each day). Also, I only have the chance to set up two routines because the first slot is already filled with activities that do not require the Fit board because, in the past, it seems to become very finicky whenever I change the batteries and it refused to connect or turn on. So, what are your recommendations?

Reviving this thread in an attempt to have someone help with designing a daily fitness routine for this year. Here are the details regarding my schedule: >Work three days of the week from 9-5 >Have the rest of the week off Here's what I have been doing: >On days that I work <Wake up at 4:30, 5 <Spend 10 minutes doing a quick "aerobics" game on the Wii (U) <Spend the next 20 minutes doing either pushups and bridges or planks and jackknifes, both doing some stretching before said workouts <Then finish with another 20 minutes playing an "aerobics" games >On the days I do not work Either: <Go on a hike that last 1-2 hours Or... <Go to the gym I'm a member of <Spend 15 minutes on the stair stepper <Spend the next 20 minutes using the weight machines that focus on my arms, abs, and upper body <Then spend the remaining 15 minutes at the swimming pool I'm still 5'11", but my weight has gone up a little in the past month to 210 lbs. What advice can you guys provide on how I should specifically be working out?

>>56 >>87 >The only real "goal" that I have is that I want to reduce my waist size Do stuff that actually requires moving and sweating a lot. I've started just running and that shit is tough but it's been 2 months (where the first one was mostly just walking or running very little) and I can see a lot of change in my body already. Biking is also good. What you're doing sounds like granny workout, i.e. low intensity stuff that works a little bit of every part of the body to promote flexibility and improve joints, but it doesn't sound like that's what you want. In terms of exercises on the weight machines, can't your gym instructor recommend exercises? One of the gyms I went to previously had daily routines so every time you went there you had a different routine with different exercises. In case that's not an option then there are excellent books describing exercises with lots of illustrations and tips and I'm sure youtube has faggots that go over routines and exercises too. I think it's also a good idea to let your body rest between workout sessions, at least if what you're doing is actually demanding, but ultimately if you're 210lb and somehow not losing weight I'm not sure if that applies.

>>87 >What advice can you guys provide on how I should specifically be working out Personally I shoot for a 3 day (monday, wed, friday) a week workout routine (which is easy to fit into my schedule) with a focus on different areas of the body each time so you have time to rest those muscles and recover. Only things I do daily are some push ups/pull ups, stretching, and cardio. On that note, be careful not to neglect/over develop certain areas or you may create muscular imbalances that can cause issues. Since you have access to a gym membership though, I would start there and ask for advice from people/staff since they can likely better assess where and what you need to currently work on to get where you want to be. Finally, you are going to want to look at your diet if you haven't already. Not saying you have to be number crunching levels of shit, but you should be mindful of what and just how much of what you are consuming. >>88 (checked) >Do stuff that actually requires moving and sweating a lot Biking and jump rope are always fun forms of cardio for me. I never liked jump rope as a kid, but as an adult I have grown to genuinely enjoy it.

>>89 Oh yeah, one of the gyms I went to had ropes you could use to get things going before actually moving on to the machines and lifting weights. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it and there are several tricks you can do which make it more fun too. It also had a speed bag which is similarly a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Though I don't think these activities burn the same amount of calories as running or biking a few miles.

It is all around, but I don't really think it's considered "low intensity". Whenever I go to the gym, I regularly have to set the weight machines up to about 50-60 lbs. whenever doing my upper body, and around 80-90 when working my legs. >I think it's also a good idea to let your body rest between workout sessions I take about 15-30 seconds breathers between 12 reps whenever I do the machines just to catch my breath. >but ultimately if you're 210lb and somehow not losing weight I'm not sure if that applies. I know that particular part has to do more with my diet as I managed to maintain a weight of around 199 just before the Holidays, have been splurging on food for the past couple of months. >>89 >On that note, be careful not to neglect/over develop certain areas or you may create muscular imbalances that can cause issues. That's one of the reasons why I'm asking for advise on trying to figure out what exercises to do on what days with the resources I have. From a brief test I did a couple years ago, my leg muscles are apparently more developed than the rest of my body due to hiking around the different parts of town more often. >Since you have access to a gym membership though, I would start there and ask for advice from people/staff since they can likely better assess where and what you need to currently work on to get where you want to be. At the gym I go to, you have to pay for personal instructors or sign up for generic classes. Though, I could see about asking what advice they can give because I remember them doing the assessment when when I first got my membership.
