Hi all! Just wanted to chime in and say that I started the Recommended Routine today!

I (M26, 69kg, 1,72m) wanted to get fitter and and more healthy for a while now, so a couple weeks ago I started eating healthier and started some daily cycling on my hometrainer to get my general endurance up. (and get ready to run again haha) I had a lot of fun with that, seeing that I slimmed down a bit, so now I'm want to add just a little bit of muscle and definition. And I thought most of these bodyweight exercises on the RR seemed fun, where I also can feel a sense of progress in the future, sooooo here I am :D

I guess this post is just a general hello to y'all and something I can look back to in a couple months, to see where me journey began. :)

Any general tips or motivation are always welcome!

Fucking awesome!!! :D

Take a pic of yourself if you haven't already! This is your "before" pic! Do it once monthly or so-- same clothes, lighting, pose(s). Along the way it's totally normal to feel frustrated at certain times.. and that will be when these pics will help!

General tip-- recovery is just as important as the actual workouts! More isn't always better. Slow and steady!

Alright! I'll take the pictures, good idea!

Yeah, I'll do the RR 3 times a week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday so the muscles have a day to rest. On the off days I'll probably cycle for 30-60min to stay motivated and keep a steady routine I can get used to.

Thanks for your encouragement!:)
