I need to join the gym.
Noorulstart skipping 20 minutes daily.
Or 2.6 km running
@noorul I prefer resistance training/weight lifting, but I haven't really gone to the gym consistently since my first son was born almost 3 years ago. It's very difficult to fit gym into the routine while juggling between work, and two kids and a wife. 😂
well, heard you say, you wanna lose weight.
to lose weight, then workout is right choice.
if you wanna build body or physical strength, then #gym session with weight lifting is right.
also, since you are restarting after a long time, it is better you start with skipping (indoor) to bring back you stamina.
@noorul That's a very common misconception.
You lose fat by burning more calories than you take in.
Exercising is just a method of increasing the amount of calories you burn.
While it's true that with a cardio based workout, you would burn more during the workout compared to a resistance program, in the long term a weight lifting program will burn more as you will continue to burn more calories throughout the day
