in Introduce Yourself
Hey, am new to this. I joined the gym on Tuesday and so far I've been enjoying it.

I want to lose body fat and build muscle. I've been trying my best to eat clean.

Any advice, tips, support etc. Would be great, thanks :bigsmile:

    I can't even ride a bicycle! I started using the spinning machines at the gym on level 1 to ease myself in.

    Swimming is a great choice. Takes a bit to move water. :laugh: Also, biking is a goooooood leg workout. Just remember, when it gets tough going up hills and inclines, STAND UP for more power in pedal pushing. Also, you could tie in some sit-ups, squats, lunges, bicycles.

    Heya! You might like looking into a program like jim stoppanis shortcut to shred or something similar. It has you lifting weights and then doing HIIT in between sets. You can modify the amount of time and what exercises you do to fit your needs and abilities.
