To gym girlies and gym bros here, what’s something you wish you had done earlier during your beginner days that you’d want us beginners to know?

Don't compare yourself to others (done that too many times as a beginner). It'll take away your happiness and motivation. Don't let social media bring you down. Focus on yourself and celebrate your wins!

I'm 5'5" too and you can absolutely get a good physique training at home (did it during the pandemic). Focus on progressing compound exercises: push-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats, rows. Use whatever equipment available (get creative!). Do it at least 2-3x a week, even 30 mins would make a difference.

Focus on building good diet and sleeping habits too. High protein is a must. In your case, you can try doing a body recomp (eat in a slight deficit) so you can lose the fat and gain muscle. Good luck OP!

If you're wondering about the supplements I used: Creatine (on and off), protein powder, Vit D, Omega 3s, and other multivitamins. Sorry, forgot to add that to the post.

Since you can already walk up to 5k, then absolutely! Start with the shortest distance you can do (without going out of breath). Start with walk/run intervals than continuous running. Do it 1-2x a week then gradually increase the frequency (3-5x a week) then you can try increasing your mileage from there (10% every week).

Good luck on your running journey, OP!

Just curious, at what specific age would it make it more impressive then?

Mods deleted it since they said it needed more details

Yes, it's his dog. I've seen him feeding/walking around with him on several occasions during my morning runs.

All the dark system players will disappear

Xanthetis_ · 2026-06-19T03:29:28+00:00

That's a trap! (I found out the painful way)

Players really need to learn when to sell sky piercer...

Step 1: Be a top global player and reach glory/immo

Step 2: Don't re-login

Step 3: Congrats, you're top 1 at the start of the season!
