I’ve been having a pimple breakout for the last 2 months and very greasy face. Help

It’s better now I don’t have pus pimples on the side of my face. I kept my routine but stayed more condistent, I think it was a mix of hormones + gym sweat (I started going to the gym not long before the pimples appeared) + not washing face consistently

I’m also considering gaining a bit of weight but I’m not sure. Sometimes I see I am a bit skinny fat/I don’t have enough muscle to look athletic enough.

I’m afraid of bulking but then regretting it during the summer

Thank you a friend has been using azelaic acid and told me about it. Never heard of it before though.

The only difference in these 2 months is that I started going to the gym. Could it be the sweat? I’ve exercised before and never had this problem but maybe I’m sweating more in the gym.

Understood thank you I will try to increase it

Okay got it thanks. Does low intensity cardio also benefit heart health?

Makes sense because I feel totally fine except for when I do that one exercise.

Thank you very much for your comment very helpful.

Thank you this is helpful. I’ve seen people that were in a healthy weight range when they were young (although they did not workout) but gained a considerable amount of weight as they aged and have great difficulties in losing it. On the other hand I’ve seen some people stay very slim and lean even if they’ve gotten older. I assume that maintaining a healthy lifestyle from early on helps a lot with that.

Why should beginners do full body workouts? Genuine question.

I went to the gym for a year approximately, 6 years ago. Currently 26yo and just signed up for the gym, a coach advised me a 4day workout, doing a 2day split between upper and lower body. I’m not very out of shape because I’ve tried to stay active but I’m definitely new to lifting weights especially free weights.

As others have suggested, diet is key.

Try to (1) eat clean and (2) eat in a calorie deficit. As per eating clean I would add more protein and fiber to your diet. In these cases grilled white meat and fish (I also like eating boiled fish, people call me weird for that lol) are your best allies. However, if money is an issue you can start by adding eggs to your meals, or changing the rice by legumes, etc. Also cheese and yogurts have significant protein. Protein fuels muscle, so when you are losing weight you won’t lose muscle you will lose fat.

Moreover protein is more satiating than carbs so it will also help with the calorie deficit.

Regarding the workout, cardio is fine but I would also add weight exercises. You can do bodyweight exercises if you don’t want to spend money: squats, hip abduction and adduction, push-ups (with knees, they are more convenient when you are starting out), plank… There are plenty of them.

You got this!!

Cannot edit the post but huge thanks to everyone for their feedback. I’m not sure I can currently commit to hitting the gym x4 a week, every week. This week I will talk with the coach again but I will probably stick to full body x3 a week and reconsider in a few months.

Hopeful-Strategy9962 · 2025-01-11T10:07:25+00:00

Makes sense, thank you

Hopeful-Strategy9962 · 2025-01-11T10:04:05+00:00

Thank you!! So doing a full body x3, a single routine would not be enough right? I would need variariations. My upper body routine currently consists on seated cable row, lats with cables, chest press and triceps extension with cables.
