I had an online trainer. Worked well. He also prepared for me a daily meal plan and i am still following some of his guidances now.
https://betterme.world/articles/200-...day-meal-plan/ that is one of them here. Protein is absolute must for all people who are doing a lot of exercises in order to stay healthy and fit. Last edited by markdis; 07-28-2022 at 03:48 AM.. |

Hello all. I wanted to give an update (if anyone found interest) and ask a question.
I've been seeing the trainer for 2 days a week since last June. It's been tough but worthwhile experience. We're onto more standard workout routines that include a variety of interesting lifts. Squats, incline dumbbell press, stretchy band work, supported rows, Romanian deadlifts, overhead press, etc. etc. I start every workout with 5-10 minutes on the treadmill to warm up, then we hit the lifts hard for 30 solid minutes. Being a bigger dude, I'm exhausted af of course. I find stuff outside the gym is getting easier, so my stamina is definitely improving. Somehow my lifting in high school and college many moons ago has kept me pretty strong, and my lifting technique has picked right back up where it left off. My plan is to continue w/ the trainer for a few more months, then move on to a different gym membership where my wife and I can both workout together, keeping each other accountable. I'm excited for that next challenge! QUESTION: I'm looking for new gym shoes. I've done quite a bit of research on the subject, and I'm somewhat familiar with the brands that are available and whatnot. I've been rocking some Brooks shoes that have been great (I have wide feet, so the ones I have are awesome), but it's time for a new pair. Any brand or specific shoe you'd like to recommend as your go-to? Most important aspect is the wide feet thing - I need actually wide ones and not "I think these are plenty wide but they aren't marked as wide" versions. Thoughts? |

Be careful with running shoes. I typically use Brooks also, but they can be not especially stable for squats/deadlift. You want to watch for shoes that have a big heel-toe drop. Those will push your posture forward and create instability. Make sure you get one that has minimal heel-toe drop. They make some lifting shoes, but that may not work too good for the treadmill, especially if you're needing support. |

And yes, I should clarify that while I'm not looking for weightlifting specific shoes (like NoBull or the like), I am cognizant of the heel-toe thing. Walking is still a big portion of my routine, so these need to be cross-purpose type shoes in that regard. |

Don't most people just use flat bottomed shoes like Converse to lift in?

No need to overcomplocate this. If you want one shoe for everything, just get a cross trainer. I have heard good things about metcon and nano. Last edited by SupDock; 02-16-2023 at 10:43 PM.. |
