Blessed with one of those Asian metabolisms that resulted in being rather slim, but meant I literally avoided all extra physical activity for the last twenty years of my life. I'm really exercising to improve my health more than anything and if I end up with Elsa's waistline as a bonus I won't complain . I'll usually do a 2 quick 30 minute cardio sessions and then 1 or 2 1hr cardio/weight classes a week depending on my schedule. Nothing crazy or strenuous. Mostly just get my lazy ass moving. That's awesome that you see something you'd like to change about yourself and are doing something about it. I'm sure you already know this, but you need to do what works best for you i.e. diet, work outs, etc. You find that out through trial and error. Set realistic & attainable goals for yourself. Remember results don't happen overnight and take time. I hope I don't sound too preachy and wanted to share some wisdom with you. I have more tips too btw. At any point you can tell me to shut the fuck up and I won't get offended. I want to wish you the best of luck on your fitness & life changing journey
May 17, 20169 yr @toodarnhot Thank you for the advice The gym nearest to me is 3km, but this month they've got a special for joining, normally it'd be I think around $130 in total (incl the joining fee + access card) but this month the whole thing just costs $29 so it's a good deal, I think their fees are around $12 a week, which is probably the cheapest you can get in this country. The whole thing about having more energy is definitely a positive thing, I'm a little fatigued lately so I need it. You think 3 x 1 hr cardio and weight sessions are reasonable for a beginner? There's too much good food around to eat less in this day and age I'm already relatively thin now so no way do I need to go even thinner. I'd rather gain some muscle in some parts so it looks nice and toned, kind of like Jasmine Tookes.

If your gym has classes I would recommend trying some out and seeing what kind of exercise you like the best. My gym has some of the "trendy" classes like Zumba (which I hate) and Ballet Barre (which I love), and you can learn a lot of good moves that you can incorporate into your own routine! Do your squats! I went home to visit my family last weekend, and three of my cousins commented on how good my butt looked.
May 17, 20169 yr @toodarnhot I don't think mine has any, we've just got the regular gym equipment and there's personal trainers as well. The other gym that's closest to me (I think around 7km out) does have classes but it's pretty small and the fees are way higher. Back in junior year a couple of years back we went to this gym where they made us do a few classes, there was this weight class, Zumba, some intense pilates thing and I can't quite remember the other thing. Zumba freaked me out, their instructors are very into the routine, never have I seen people so enthusiastic Spoiler About squats, I do them already at home (side squat, sumo squat, narrow squat), plus lunges and some bridges. Usually I do them with dumbbells as well since I got 2 5kg ones, idk if that's a low weight for any significant butt toning? Like I got a butt, I just need it to be lifted more. How long did it take you to get good results? Still procrastinating trying to learn physics though

How long did it take you to get good results? Still procrastinating trying to learn physics though I barely use weights because my arms are still wet noodles, honestly. But I'll sometimes use a single weight or a body bar with my squats. I've been going since the beginning of March, so it's been nearly 3 months? Another thing I do is follow celebrity trainers on instagram for their routines. I really like RHW's trainer, Erica Hood.
May 17, 20169 yr I am thinking of buying Garth Brooks NY tickets because he hasn't played there in 20 years and the resale value should be double to triple the price. @PinkCouture
May 17, 20169 yr ^ I hope Chris Gaines' hologram will make a special appearance. Or the whole concert hall could do a group seance to resurrect him
May 18, 20169 yr So proud to be a Dinamo Bucuresti fan! Thank you for the last 23 years of my life. Last night was incredible, even if we lost. Our fans were absolutely amazing, as always. Rest in peace Patrick Ekeng, God bless your soul.
May 18, 20169 yr @toodarnhot, I forgot to mention this the other day, but you've got a pretty good grasp on fitness. I'll see myself out.
