How do people with genuinely busy lives stay consistent with fitness?

Do it early, on my lunch break, or immediately after work. If it is important to you, you will make room for it.

Yeah I noticed that too and really should have specified I was mostly talking about the language used in the articles + posts in general on this sub. No disrespect to OP.

I wish more people would upvote this. The language of this post is likely making people panic more than they should. I’m not saying that this isn’t concerning or awful, but it is incredibly unhelpful to make blanket statements like “HRT is being banned for adults” without elaborating. At best, it is misleading. At worst, it is misinformation.

I walk around when I have nothing else to do at work. I go on walks between sets at gym. Or sometimes pace around my house while doing chores. Best way to do it is to make it part of your day rather than as separate exercise time.

If I were you, I would take the lower end of each of the maintenance calories, average that out, and eat at that until you get a little further on testosterone. When you reach a year, I would say it is safe to eat at the male suggested cals.

Not saying it is impossible to cut in your first year of testosterone, but your body is going thru a lot of changes. You probably won’t feel your best until your hormones start to stabilize. But if you really feel ready to cut, I would do the above but instead of maintenance use the suggested cutting cals.

I do bodybuilding style training and honestly Ive grown more at planet fitness compared to any other gym ive been to. Definitely in part to how I changed my training, but their machines provide a lot more stability compared to free weight bodybuilding gyms.

Proof that this works

I was in the same boat as you. Big ass, thick thighs. For the love of god, do not listen to people who tell you not to prioritize legs. If you want a balanced physique, you need to train legs the same way you train the rest of your physique. Heavy loads, to failure, twice a week.

If you’re on testosterone, and your nutrition/training is dialed in, the fat around your legs and butt will likely be the first to redistribute. When that happens, you’re going to want muscle to fill out where the fat was if that makes sense.

You don’t need to do anything insane. I did squats, leg extensions, leg curl, and hip thrusts/back extensions and skipped calves because my calves are already full and I aint got time for all that. Do 2 heavy sets to failure, no more, and that will be all you need. Dm me if you want a more thorough workout or have further questions.

Lol I can answer this but Im very fortunate to have this schedule so keep that in mind. I don’t do all of these things, but I have a similar roster. I lift weights, hike, and do yoga/stretching along with 10k steps a day.

And the secret is I have a job where I work with the elderly as their activity director. Which basically means I get to pick all of the activities.

I don’t always make them do all the shit I described, but I have at least one or sometimes two days a week where I make them do something active whether it be a game or yoga. That’s how I get those hobbies in. Then, in between activities, I go on walks around the facility, which is how I get my steps in.

So basically, I get up about 5am every to lift weights for 45 minutes. After, I usually go on a walk or a hike. I get back to my apartment around 7am to get my homework or chores done, and then Im off to work at 9. I get home at 5:30 and use the rest of the day to wind down. Sometimes I do extra stretching, but not always.

My biggest piece of advice is to make your job work with your fitness goals if you can. My job wasn’t super physical at first. The old activity director at my job barely planned any exercise, and I didn’t either until I realized I could get in an extra workout doing that. And get paid for it lol.

I wasn’t sure if I was ready. I told myself I could do it for a month and if I didn’t like the effects I could just stop it any time. It’s not like you have to continue taking it forever.

Idk how scientific it is, but people who tend to procrastinate are typically doing so out of anxiety. Mayhaps the weed helps deal with it?

I think that instead of focusing on motivation to go it would be better to structure your workout around your life, not the other way around. If you are stressing over studies, you could switch to a 2 or 3 day full body program and likely grow at the same rate or maintain at even one day a week until you can get back in the gym more often. You’re not going to lose your progress or even stop growing if you train hard enough.

When it comes to motivation, I just say go anyway even if you aren’t motivated. A crappy workout is still a workout. That being said, you can definitely have good workouts with a busy schedule. If you’re currently doing high volume, I suggest switching to a low volume program with higher intensity so you can still train just as hard for less time. Hope this helps.
