Best Mode Fitness Journey

If you're serious about your fitness journey keep yourself in Beast Mode. Put in work to get the best results. One hour doesn't always get results unless you're putting in a lot of work during that one hour. About 95% of the people I see at gym are not giving their all. Many I see for months and years and still not fit.

Who are you to judge? Are they not "fit" because they're not muscled and ripped? Do you know their background and possible limitations? Or their goals?20

I wonder how you manage to focus on your own workout while you're so busy keeping track of what everyone else at the gym is doing?18

Also do different workout routines. You'd hit a plateau doing the same thing often. You have to keep your muscles shocked and guessing to continue to see changes to your body.30

Workout hard to not have to wear dark clothing all the time. Look good in lighter clothing, too!

I am one of those people who stalks the forums but never speaks... and the "information" you are spouting is so ridiculous you actually convinced me to post something. You do not need to shock your muscles and keep them guessing to see changes. You do not have to workout relentlessly or in "beast mode" to get benefits from working out. Stop making people think that you have to go crazy to see results, that won't make people want to make the effort. For some people, walking is excellent exercise and great for their fitness goals.38

I say more focus on what you are doing and less on other people. You don't know what other people's goals are.23

What is the point of this post? Are you really telling people that their exercise doesn't count unless they do what YOU consider to be good enough? What if they don't want to be your version of a beast or have mental or physical limitations? And the dark vs. light colored clothing thing is crap. People look good in all colors at all sizes, shapes, and abilities.
People come to this site for help and support. There are so many posts here from people saying they are scared of going to gym because they are afraid of being judged while working out and trying to improve their overall fitness, but here you are judging and intimidating anyway.21 -

No one said anything about going crazy. And walking is the best excercise. I do it often to switch up my routine and keep muscles shocked.24 -

These type of posters come through the site every once and a while. With a profile picture of a ripped six pack and think that makes them the world's expert on fitness and nutrition and the rest of us peons should follow them. This has been the theme to this poster's posts on this board so far. But that type of attitude never ends well here.19 -

What type of attitude, sir? I have the right mindset and work hard to achieve my fitness goals. I do not think I'm a fitness expert. I'm sharing what I learnt. What worked for me may not work for others but it doesn't hurt to have the info to give it a try.10 -
The body shaming is super uncool dude. Anyone can look good in any color of clothing at any size.
Also are you trying to convince us, or yourself? This whole post reeks of low confidence and inferiority issues. Plus you've bought into some seriously unscientific BS. Theres no such thing as shocking muscles, and beast mode exists only in video games.18 -
People hurt themselves following this "Beast mode" crap.
Any brand new folks, Workout following a vetted structured program geared towards personally chosen goals and within personal capabilities. You'll hit your goals given that and a way of eating that keeps you satisfied and strong. No "beast mode" required.

Have to confess I’ve used the beast word as in beastly to describe some of my workouts. Also used “pedal to the metal” so I understand the OP’s mindset. Unfortunately, this is the wrong forum for the message.
For a better reception, visit Ross Enamait’s forum, lots of beasts and beastly training discussed there.

I've been going to the gym for 20 years. I stated what I observed. I'm not sure how what I said is body shaming.8 -
I went beast mode in gears of war once7

So going to the gym for 20 years gives you permission to judge others? To decide they're not fit according to whatever criteria you've set, despite knowing nothing about them? What's the point of such observation? Were you looking for praise or something? A congrats on being better than those other gym-goers you're looking down on by deciding they're not fit?14 -
Meh, to each their own. I walk several times a week and that's it for intentional exercise. I'm also at a very health BMI and have excellent health markers and blood work panels. I enjoy walking and have no interest in doing anything besides that right now. I wear size small/sz 4 clothes and my hubby of 16 years still can't keep his hands to himself, so it's all good over here
If being in 'beast mode' is important for you then great. That's not even on my radar though as something that I care about.15 -

Fine. But that still doesn't make beast mode a real thing. Plus its often code for "I am exercising with no regard for my safety" which is hopefully not what you're doing.
And the rest of what I said stands. If you've got time to body shame and judge and brag, you've got time to think about why you're so desperate to prove yourself as better than others.14 -

I have a real problem with this. You have no right to judge anyone else. I am one of those people going for years but I am still not fit. But you know what, I am still going. So get off your high horse and have some respect for others. You do not know what anyone else in that gym is going through. So worry about yourself and let the rest off us go about our non beast mode workouts.15 -
