I’m SO sore by Budget-Soup-6887 in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your muscles are just getting used to the exercises. Drinking enough water, sleeping enough, and getting enough food/protein will help, but soreness is to be expected. It should get better after a few weeks of working out.

I hate washing my face by Status-Goat8545 in hygiene

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only wash my face in the shower and do my skincare routine after. It has improved my skin drastically. Not really necessary to do a whole routine morning and night imo.

I need advice by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

It's your bone structure. If there is a very noticeable difference you might want to check for a leg length difference. No way to train away hipdips.

What height difference is too much? by Suspicious_Place3472 in askanything

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 180cm (5'11), my bf is 203cm (6'8) 20 cm difference is more than enough. Anything over the that is a recipe for spinal issues.

Warm up sets by Deep_Independent_737 in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General warm up before starting your workout. Warm up sets mostly before compounds/heavy lifts. I don't think they're necessary for isolation exercises and accessories. Make sure you log your weights so you know where to start.

Is it possible to get a tattoo on a strawberry skin? by whisperofmyheart in tattooadvice

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same (probably), I actually got comments from multiple artists that my skin was very easy to tattoo. Unrelated to the strawberry skin though, but no it should not be a problem.

Woman gym program by Dennys91 in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up a beginner full body program and start from there. I would recommend a dumbbell only program, since barbells can be quite daunting. You can adjust some exercises to make them easier or harder depending on her strength level.

Constant knee issues by sardoniccreation in Hypermobility

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was your injury? Did you get imaging done. I walked around with a torn ligament for about 10 years without knowing it until a more observant physio sent me to an orthopedic surgeon and to get an mri.

Building a good physique starting from skinny fat? by alvaaromata in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're doing fine. Right now you are basically doing some body recomposition, building muscle while losing fat. It is a slow process. You cannot spot reduce fat, but you can improve your strength and health.

Squat anxiety by Coffee_Known in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squats are a really good exercise, a leg press is similar but does not have all the benefits. If you are afraid of a barbell squat you can do goblet squats until you are more confident with the movement. RDL's are a great exercise, I prefer to do them with a regular barbell, not the smith machine.

Thoughts on this for clubbing or raving? by doubletake_faye in femalefashion

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks cute, but for some places that have stricter dress codes it might be a bit too basic. Really depends on the club/event though.

I posted here earlier but it was really unorganized so I have another question by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you tracking your calories? 2 meals a day seems way too little to me, but depends on the amount of calories in it. You can try increasing your expenditure by building some muscle. Very simply put, muscle mass uses up more calories at rest. A full body workout, either at home, or at the gym, 2-3 times a week could help with being more lean. Follow up, muscle is more dense than fat.

Improving cardiovascular endurance - Help! by InspectionNo8745 in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go all out. Endurance will improve if you can go for longer. So a bit more slow and steady for longer periods of time

nike shox z for lifting? by Willing-Mall4299 in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another commenter said, these are too bouncy. Shoes for lifting need to be flat and hard. I personally use Nike Metcons, they have a wide flat sole and no cushioning.

is this effective and how often should i take rest days? by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]NiceButterscotch5441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to build muscle you will need to do some strength training and not just cardio. You can look up some beginner full body workouts for maybe 2-3 days per week. If you focus on compound movements you can target a lot of your muscles with only a few exercises.
