im 5'11 240 pounds fat asl my nearest gym is 55 bucks a month, what workout would u recommend for a complete beginner, my doors and walls are WEAK and too short so I can't get a pull-up bar (maybe I can but I dont wanna make an investment yet since I im not ready for all dat. I can't do a push up yet, too weak. (I am figuring out a diet in the meantime)
edit: won't reply to everyone but thanks for the tips, I really appreciate you guys tryna help me out.
I can't let you down now.
sheesherz [#5]thanks for the advice. 👍
obv so you dont need to do anything basically you are alr fine
Just do bodyweight exercises as much as you can. Google "compound bodyweight exercises" and start with that set of routines.
Invest in dumbbells, a barbell, and a pull-up stand with dip bars. A pull-up stand costs around $50 here and can withstand loads of up to 200kg. You might find it a bit more expensive in the US, but it's worth the investment if you're serious about calisthenics.
My piece of advice is while calisthenics is great, plus-size people should also add cardio exercises to their routine for their heart health. No offense.
Be careful with running as this form of exercise is known to strain your kneecaps, especially in someone who is out of shape/240 lbs; it could even lead to an unfortunate injury, which will remain sort of unnoticed but for sure will be felt later in your life. Essentially you can always substitute running with bike pedaling exercise, or any other form of stationary machine exercises to condition your muscles first, if you decide to move on to running later. Or you could ignore runnig al together and continue pedalling the bike macines for the all duration of your training cycle and it will help you burn enough energy to lose weight, if your diet is in check.
Remember, consistency is the key, so don't overexert yourself.
cholikarr [#20]Do cardio and HIT exercise
And don't talk shit until u stop being obese 🥷like this ull work hard to talk shit
this is my motivation, thank you.
it's too early for calisthenics.
While u do some of the above listed easy exercises without equipment, do them with 100% perfect form. 99,99% of people don't take everything they can out of pushups -> full range of motion -> scapula protraction
Here's 2 out of I don't know how many I watch

moulmein [#23]get a better diet, u are what u eat.
you are right, I eat a lot of sugar, I switched to honey only recently but still add too much, and feel weak all the time, can't pick up a chair without feeling like crap to save my mom, its my main motivation, my sleep schedules is so random, so tryna fix that too.
