>want to finally lose weight
>only did 15 minutes of cardio today before tapping out

Do a lesser intensity for longer, you dingus.

Do a greater intensity for shorter, you doofus.

>>76496182 (OP)
Good start, keep at it

>>76496182 (OP)
you're a weak loser

>>76496202
Yes
A weak fat loser
I just wanna be a weak loser

>>76496182 (OP)
You know your mind controls your body, right? You can just decide to keep going.

>at one point was able to do 60 minutes and feel great
>covid hits
>got lazy
>die in a few minutes of cardio
Progress just goes away like nothing. So disheartening.

>>76496182 (OP)
Just keep at it anon. Could only do 15 minutes? Well tomorrow you are going to aim for 15 minutes and 10 seconds, and you are going to do that for the rest of the week. And then the next week you will add another 10 seconds.
You just need to be consistent anon, wagmi

>>76496182 (OP)
Progressive overload bro, keep it up!

>>76496182 (OP)
Eat less

>>76496182 (OP)
That should be at least 2 miles of running

>>76496350
I think it was

>>76496182 (OP)
Just eat smaller portions, fatty.

>>76496440
Why not both

>>76496182 (OP)
Eat less. Gains come from the gym. Losses come from the kitchen. Yes, the muscles built from working out will raise your TDEE, but working out, for the most part, doesn't really burn that many calories. Even an eight mile run is only 1000 calories. You're better off not eating calories than trying to burn them off with exercise.

These are the only good replies in this thread, every other one sucks, follow the advice here and ignore every other useless post

I'm cutting out eating poptarts and chips everyday

all you gotta do is be in a caloric deficit over time, a toddler could do it

>>76496182 (OP)
sounds like a good start for a fat person honestly

you'll do more tomorrow

Hi OP, I've been weightlifting for a couple of months. Did my first run yesterday as per the general here (1 minute running, 1 1/2 minutes walking x8) and I was fucking dying by the 5th or 6th rep. Keep it up, we're gonna make it!

>>76496182 (OP)
What kind of cardio? Because if its stair master I get it that shit burns sometimes.

>>76496182 (OP)
My friend the path will have up and downs. Just keep at it and don't punish yourself for a single mistep. You're on a journey not on a one day task.

God bless.

>>76496182 (OP)
Just go on the treadmill and walk for an hour flat at 3mph/5kph

Then next time you go do the same but add half a degree of incline. Do this until you can't make progress or hit the max incline.

Then adjust it so you stay in the 120-130BPM range

>>76496182 (OP)
have you tried fork putdowns?

>>76496182 (OP)
Cardio is the least of your worries. The main thing you need to worry about is eating less.

is walking a meme for weight loss?

>>76498686
it's not time efficient is what it is

>>76496223
>>76496302
This
You can do it anon!

>>76496182 (OP)
It's mostly not eating. 1600 cal or less depending on frame size.

>>76496182 (OP)
The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step.
To achieve anything, you must first start. Usually people think that's the hardest part, but the real hardest part is sticking to something, even when you suck at it. Starting is merely the beginning.
Ganbate anon.

>>76496182 (OP)
Intake is easier to track and control than expenditure. Eat less.

>>76496182 (OP)
I have rheumatoid arthritis that ranges from okay to excruciating and I can't really do many types of exercises or any lifting really due to the pain, but I've been doing 1-2 miles of walking daily along with counting calories and have lost about 50 pounds this year.

>>76496182 (OP)
I think cardio is stupid
Just eat less and go for walks nigga

>>76500179
>I think cardio is stupid
>just do cardio (and eat less)

>>76496196
Sprints are sick it makes me more watery and less strong

>>76500179
Or lift more?

>>76500189
Cardio is like the bike or running
I think running is dumb is what i meant to say
Because it will hurt your joints and knees but you wont lose weight
And a lot of people think if u run u can eat slop and still lose weight

>>76500194
Idk if that will help with weight loss
I think calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight desuuu

>>76496182 (OP)
When i started doing cardio after a 15 year cardio break I did 8 minutes
The next day 15 mins
The next week I did 25 mins everyday
Now I do anywhere from 30- 40 mins daily and I increase intensity instead of extending time because im already lifting for 30-40 minutes and im short on time as it is. What im getting at here is just keep doing it because it actually gets way fucking easier after the first couple months.

>>76500200
I find bmr regulation is way sicker, gains 247.

>>76496207
This.
The mind gives up before the body.

Run until you shit yourself, until you vomit, until your lungs collapse, until your heart explodes. Then, keep running.

>put treadmill on an 18 degree incline
>Listen to a song on repeat
>Imagine I'm walking up a mountain
>Walk for 40 minutes easily
It's that easy

>>76496214
It also comes back damn near instantaneously if you just stick to it.

>>76496182 (OP)
Screenshot me. 15 degree incline 3.0 mph 30 minutes, once daily. You may hang on to the bar or front of the machine. Listen to music as you do this, pick a 30-40 minute album that gives you energy and stick to this album before trying out other music, you will learn to associate certain songs with how far in you are and how much more you have to do. You may think you have to stop due to sweat, heat, or breathing; you do not. You may have to stop due to cramping, simply drink water and get back on once it’s settled if possible. Cramping will stop after a few sessions, and if you fail to do the full 30 minutes the first time, you will get closer with time too. You will doubtlessly miss days, just do it as often as you can intentionally and after a few weeks or months you will start thinking the days off are the weird days and feel nothing negative about having to do it. Healthy weights spend about 350-400 calories on this, overweight/obese can be up to 600 cals. Pair this with calorie counting and you’re golden.

Normal words but /fit/ guy

>>76496182 (OP)
People are giving you shit, but just keep at it. Just do a decent 30 minute walk the next 1-2 days to help with DOMS, and since you're going from a couch potato, you'd be surprised how much you gained from that one exercise. You'd probably be able to go and do the same effort cardio for 20-30 minutes without killing yourself in a few days.

Have you considered rucking? Just put a weight in a backpack and walk. You burn a comparable amount to running for the same time (if the weight is high enough, you should sweat just like after a good run). Make sure you get enough protein, treadmill incline is at least 1.0. Google it.

Just know you'll look like an autistic weirdo (everyone at the gym already thinks you are anyway)

Only eat when you're really hungry, and no it's not that instantenous ravaging hunger feel. Real hunger takes time to build up. You'll know if you listen to your belly instead of your mind. Your body wants to be light and skinny. Eat half of what you'd normally eat. Hungry during the morning and hungry at night will make you lose size. Stay skinny besties!

>>76496182 (OP)
so do it again tomorrow?

just walk. anything is better than nothing.

>>76496205
Sorry, you're gonna have to either be strong or be so extremely lazy that eating is too hard for your weak shit self

>>76501995
Sure that's a good idea but I don't want to walk on a treadmill with a backpack on like an autist

>>76496182 (OP)
>15 mins of cardio
that probably puts you in the top 0.1% for your weight class, at least for the day. keep it up champ I'm proud of you

>>76496182 (OP)
cardio is a waste of time. eat less and do calisthenics.

>>76496182 (OP)
Do intervals. If you have an apple watch just do a km at a time, run then walk
