Is it possible to get /fit/ while NEET? Diet stuff seems like it could be expensive after awhile, especially with things like protein powder.

Does /fit/ mean bodybuilding?

I can't post what I intended due to overbearing censorship on this site. Forget the protein supplements, start jogging and doing pushups etc.

I started doing squats, pushups, and situps and back posture workouts. My reps are going up kinda quick. From 10 push ups to 18 in a week.

you don't really need much if you never worked out in your life. just eat less, exercise an hour or half an hour every day. if you want to keep on gaining muscle, join a gym. But you can certainly lose weight while a NEET. Protein powder is not something a beginner should care about for a good while.

Why yes lainon. A lack of protein powder shouldnt be an obstacle to you getting fit. There is a bodyweight exercise routine that used to be used by the canadian airforce and its extremely simple, and only 11 minutes! http://fit450.com/HTML/5BX_Intro.html You start with a chart and level you feel comfortable at and work your way up, till you reach the chart and level for your age grouping, or wherever you want to get. After that its just maintaining, keep doing it everyday. Theres really no excuse either, its such an insignificant amount of time taken out of your day that its hard to tell yourself you cant. You will see some newbie gains from it for sure, and after that if you want you can go to the gym and will have a much stronger foundation to work off of.

>>696 I was told that one should avoid sit ups as they are bad for your back.

don't fall for the meme of supplements I never took any supplement and I'm bigger than most guys at my gym. The most important thing is to start with LIGHT weight to stimulate your motor cortex and get your muscles used to lifting and getting stretched then use more weight for the exercise when you feel confortable with it. I've seen so many guys trying to lift heavy and make 0 gains. You have to find your balance between training and recovery this is the most important part as a natural lifter. DO NOT FOLLOW ready-made programs made by celebrities, they will not work.

>>700 Is this true?

>>704 Yeah, crunches are better for you than sit-ups. The best are probably the Pilates sit-up, where you go vertebrae by vertebrae, but whose got time for that? http://brainoverbrawn.com/get-the-book/ This book is free, and a good fit-on-a-budget guide. I'll also pimp Charles Salvadore's "Solitary Fitness", on fitness developed in solitary confinement, and the Charles Atlas system of dynamic tension, and Bruce Tegner's book on isometrics. None of them need more equipment than a chair and a towel, and in Salvadore's case, he did it on prison porridge.

Even just walking for 20-30 minutes is really good for you- and that's not saying anything of jogging/running. Also, try to stand more often, even that is extremely beneficial. Try not to sit for consecutive hours. And if you start working out, try rotating and doing different workouts each day so your muscles don't acclimate to your routine

>>700 It's been a long time since I've visited this site since I train differently, but here's a brief run down on why some guys may believe that. https://www.t-nation.com/training/to-crunch-or-not-to-crunch One man that comes to mind is Stuart McGill, who really knows his stuff when it comes to core development. https://uwaterloo.ca/kinesiology/people-profiles/stuart-mcgill Unfortunately his books are a little pricey.

Take stimulants to cut back on eating, try to go for a decent sized walk once a day, this has fared well for me, I'm by no means in great shape but I haven't gained any weight in a while, and stay away from sugary drinks like soda!

i got this pdf of bodyweight training that might be of use. i haven't read it yet, so ymmv

lift weights

Today i started this bodyweight workout from thenx. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIVxdIWy7Eo So far so good.

Eating healthy is not expensive. That is a stupid myth. You can buy a five pound bag of frozen strawberries at Walmart for $10. You can buy a bag of fresh pears for less than that. Spinach, rice, lentis, quinoa.... The list goes on. You just gotta know where to look

>>3285 and invest some time in cooking

>>3285 grains and fruit are NOT healthy

>>3290 ??? Sure you could eat too much of it, as for anything. But what the hell, grains are the one single most important source of food for millennia, as rice or wheat or corn. And fruits are sugary, but full of nutriments. See what used to happen on ships until they started loading them with lemons. If those are considered unhealthy, I have no idea what is healthy.

>>3291 Basically, long story short, a bunch of people started selling fad diets. They claim that they can help you lose a lot of weight really fast and they will by reducing carb intake, often to 0. These diets aren't good for you in any sense except the weight loss, they will make you sick, but their popularity has led some to the misguided belief that "carbs are bad". In reality carbs are an essential part of any diet where you want to be at peak performance. There's a lot more could be said about this. Not all carbs are created equal, and some of them (processed sugars etc) are pretty bad for you but whole grain and fruit are absolutely fine. Also, beware nutritionists. They may as well be a foodologist for all the scientific credentials they have. The protected term is dietician.

>>3290 Delusion. How the fuarrrk is fruit not healthy LOL? >fruit has sugar omg Yeah, but the increased fiber slows down its breakdown, so there is no insulin spike. Eating fruit is the same as eating any other carb. It's not like eating candy, jackass.

>>3300 This. High carbs = high anabolic hormones, i.e. testosterone, insulin, HGH, etc. Have fun trying to build muscle without carbs, because you won't.

It is EASIER to get in shape while a neet because you actually have time to exercise. >>3285 It is expensive where I live though, it's simply not the same when you live in a remote place. I do know how to prepare food, actually probably better than most people, for this reason.

>>693 >diet stuff == protein powder umm, what? I spent like 5 or 6 $ a month on "diet stuff" during my training I did 4 years ago with a buddy of mine. In 1 year time it accumulated to WHOPING 60 bucks. Just buy L-carnitine and shut the fuarrrk up about a topic you know nothing about.

>>3356 hes asking a question, of course he doesnt know anything about it thats why hes asking. how messed up do you have to be to tell someone to shut the fuarrrk up for asking "i dont know it seems expensive". you sure your not spending some extra money on roids you seem pretty angry?

Is it possible to lose a pound a week?

>>693 Unlike what >>3356 is saying, diet can be costly. Many people spend upwards of $50 in groceries a week, or even $100, on a regimen, especially when they're bulking. This isn't for things like protein powder or creatine, but just food. I used to live off $20 a month in groceries (and by being 20-30 pounds underweight). Dishing out the extra money to eat enough to really benefit from exercise was a pain, and impossible at certain times. The good news is that food is pretty much the only recurring cost you face if you decide to forego a gym membership. >>4496 It's possible. People often equate 3,500kcal with one pound, which puts you at a 500kcal daily deficit to lose about a pound in a week, which is doable safely.
