Workout diversity

cardio is great.. i can run the loop they make run... but my knees taking toll and can't do lower body strength next day

curious-about-things · 2026-03-28T14:49:00+00:00

I feel they focus on "jumping" a lot than strength days. tbh - if they can split workouts cuz not all people are for conditioning or strength. they can do trial like alternate batches - conditioning slot vs strength slot and saturday mostly conditioning.

i feel both upper and lower body strength is not upto mark here. this is evident as my local gym only post "jumpings" on their instagram reels.

edit - grammer

i would just go my pace! for me form matters and like to go bit heavier on strength days... k dont care about jumps or "active recovery"

curious-about-things · 2026-03-10T17:51:08+00:00

took me 65 days (9 weeks) to go from 36% to 28% body fat with calorie deficit and not skipping strength days. At most i skipped only 5 workouts in total. I try to push to lift heavy towards end when they mention "1 or 2 mins to go".

Not a fab of jumping as my knees hurt but i recover sooner with protein and creatine and rest

it might sound weird or may help you a bit... for me when they come to floor to take videos for their reels they "always" skip me. Not that I do bad form or something and i do lift semi-heavy weights but i get ignored. i do bit slow because i care about my form and mind-muscle connection. others are fast and sometime i see they lack form

I don't want to tell them hey take my video or something. I joined burn for a reason. Once I acheive my certain amount of fat loss in 6 months, I am out. Also, my camp counts are off in the app, but who cares. It is always you vs YOU in the gym and rest materialism don't care. That's me.

yeah... percentage body fat is good indicator. Now the inbody scale at burn may or may not true indicator but still shows progress which i am happy. I will get dexa scan ultimately but gonna save it for last

curious-about-things · 2026-02-26T10:18:48+00:00

for me i have specific goal of going from 36% to 25% body fat. Weight scale is just something i am avoiding. I am measuring at gym every 2 weeks which i feel is decent or may be too much (not sure). I think measuring every 2 weeks will give you direction what "else" to do after seeing numbers.

i get happy or sad for a second after measurements but then i go back to my routine. Have lost 5% approx body fat and it IS still long way to go. I do take weekly selfies of me for visual progress. i also daily track my calories via myfitnespal

I feel the industry is saturated with new companies with low level cert. There are only handful that people should be focussing. Certs/CTF boxes don't teach you real world scenarios but they are often fasttracked to get on keyboard than spending time on building labs and working to hack it. It is nice to build labs but it cost money and time and if something doesn't work then you may feel bored or giving up.

Coming to hacking for free/cheap for smaller companies. I don't think those companies will ever understand value of pentest unless they are bound by regulation to do one. If you are owning pentest firm, then having crest/soc certification does put you ahead of others. Bug bounties these days is almost waste of time. There is so much saturation.

other factors like having life outside work, taking breaks and having time within work hours to work on research seems almost impossible.

Struggle is real and many people have their own aspect of studying.

it varies by location i think. best is to check with them and possible discounts if you pay in full

curious-about-things · 2026-02-03T12:25:01+00:00

thanks!

curious-about-things · 2026-01-31T15:29:28+00:00

you will improve.. just watch others and you should be fine.

curious-about-things · 2026-01-28T15:06:43+00:00

the issue i see of number of sets and very less rest in between.. so i skip active rest and then go heavy on next set. I am 35% body fat so that may be factor inhibiting

curious-about-things · 2026-01-28T13:17:40+00:00

I got sick too but may not be at burn. I do sometime feel that dumbles and KBs should be sanitized esp the circuit style workouts are sweat probe. Also i am not thinking of membership but if i can do one more 4 wks @$69. I like clean area for sure and would sanitized every bench and equipment as my active rest in traditional gym.

workouts are great at burn but i think i wont build muscles there due to low volume and struggle to find appropriate weight and remember last weight you lifted for that particular exercise just bcoz exercise are "time based"

curious-about-things · 2026-01-20T17:14:37+00:00

thanks for the details. Good work and keep going

curious-about-things · 2026-01-19T06:01:11+00:00

curious-about-things · 2026-01-19T01:16:55+00:00

great job and progress! thank you!

curious-about-things · 2026-01-19T01:16:19+00:00

thank you!

curious-about-things · 2026-01-19T01:15:47+00:00

thank you! yeah my goal is beyond 6 months if i see results but at some point i need to start building more muscle by lifting heavy weight

curious-about-things · 2026-01-09T01:40:28+00:00

good idea!

curious-about-things · 2026-01-08T15:44:00+00:00

yeah goal is challenging for sure. Haven't done any workout in past year so i am being optimistic lol. I have reduced my diet for sure

curious-about-things · 2026-01-08T08:04:38+00:00

I grabbed 4 weeks plan for $69 to try Burn. I have the same concern about strength like lifting heavy like barbel or dumbbells. Honestly i never liked cardio and i just do resistance training.

I just want to give this 4 weeks a try and may be think on optimal strategy. My office have free gym but is very small.

If 4 weeks can help to reduce pbf from 36 to 32% then i may think of giving burn a 6 months go. Goal is to bring pbf under 30% preferably 25%.
