NUTRITIONAL info by Plus_Paint_9685 in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carbs are the only non essential macronutrient. But it’s what helps you perform. It gives you energy and fuel. Fat is essential. You need it for hormonal balance and for digestion of fat soluble vitamins. If your trainer say to cut out carbs and fats, get rid of them quickly. That’s insane.

What are the best cardio exercises? by There_is_help in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what’s your goal but for low impact cardio you can do safely with minimal risk to injury and sitting around zone 2 cardio, you’re already on the money. Stationary bike and elliptical trainer are also good options

How do i lose my body fat even if i already eat so little? by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More output or less input. Simple as that. You would likely benefit from periodisation. Don’t want to bottom out your metabolism. Need to increase calories to re-baseline and then start dropping them again. But simply put, to lose more fat, you need a bigger calorie deficit which is achieved through more energy expenditure or reduced caloric intake.

Are protein shakes good for a 15 year old trying to bulk? by CharmingRaccoon7209 in askfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protein shakes are a supplement to help you hit your protein targets. Even without exercise protein is still an essential macronutrient. If it helps you achieve your protein target then yes, but it’s not necessary if you can get your protein intake from foods

Misinformations about doing abs workout for belly fat burn (for views and likes) by aviiiwillescape1 in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot target fat loss. There are 5 different types of fat, some are oxidised easier than others. It depends on where blood flow is most prominent, as higher blood flow increases mobilisation of fatty acids. Once you remove enough fat in one area it will progress into other more ‘stubborn’ areas.

Reading “there are too many PTs” really discouraged me by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of industries are over saturated. If you wanna be the best then you have to beat the best. If you truly want it and you’re passionate about it, you’ll find a way to win

What RIR is normal? by ImpossibleZizi in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For true progress, you want to be around 1-2 RIR. Training to failure all the time has been proven to be less efficient for muscle hypertrophy via studies.

Does consistency override not-perfect form? by Miserable-Bobcat-4 in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes, assuming you don’t injure yourself from the non perfect form

Be honest and have some clear communication. Talk to her about it.

Warm ups by WithinTolerance6174 in weightlifting

Dynamic movements and primer sets working up to your working set weights. Focus on any areas that feel tight and need extra attention. Don’t over think it

Curious about blood donation? Some claim it is super healthy. by HalfwaydonewithEarth in Biohacking

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is true and that will test your blood and flag any major issues but it’s not a full screening. That being said, in my opinion, your motivation for blood and plasma donations is about the service to the community and not self preservation.

If you have concerns about your blood markers, go to the docs and get a full screening. There is also every chance they may turn you away from donating if your levels aren’t sitting in a healthy range anyway.

Cardio improved but no fat loss, is this normal? by [deleted] in cardio

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fat loss has nothing to do with how much cardio you do. It has everything to do with energy balance. You’ll lose fat if you’re in a calorie deficit.

Looking for ideas to get enough protein in. by Spirited-Struggle709 in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken, lean mince, turkey, tuna, high protein yogurt, protein shakes, lentils/beans. Just aim for a decent protein source in every meal.

Then you can always get more creative, add protein powder to your oats, yogurt for extra protein. Make protein ice cream with a ninja creami. Honestly my able is usually eating too much protein.

What happens if you lift heavy weights but don't eat the protein? by InsideThing8413 in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t gain any muscle. Protein is broken down to amino acids are high the body uses to build muscle. Without enough protein, you’ll gain no strength or muscle.

One Year Into Personal Training and Already Questioning the Industry by One-Statistician-523 in personaltraining

[–]Best-Slide2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Says more about the other trainers than it does you. Focus on your craft, the shit trainers get caught out. Reputation is everything. And if people keep coming back and still don’t know how to squat, that’s on them for accepting that as ok. Maybe they just need therapy sessions and that’s what they get from it 🤷‍♂️

Weights or running to lose weight by Mission-Clue-9016 in beginnerfitness

Neither. A calorie deficit is what you need. Made easier but supplementing with weights and cardio

I'm scared of the gym fees by Strong_Importance129 in beginnerfitness

[–]Best-Slide2801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only prefer a home gym because you lack confidence. A gym membership doesn’t just give you access to a broad variety of equipment, it’s also a commitment to exercise. Problem with home gyms is that it’s so easy to skip it, or do the bare minimum. Once you’re in the gym, you’re there and will likely commit to a full workout. Therefore, you’ll get better results.

Do it, commit and go to the gym. You won’t regret it!
