Started doing simple dumbbell exercises recently and was curious about what others are doing.
Been trying simple neck exercises too. No weights, just chintucks and isometrics.

Please do share your experience/suggestions/opinions on the it and related topics like sports, calisthenics, general physical health etc.

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

Regarding food:
How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

On a tangent:
Are there cool plants that are less known or that’d be useful if more people tried growing and including them in their diets? Do mention your locality or climate of the plant.

    I’ve been going to the gym 4 days a week (often just 2, but ideally 4). 2 upper body days, 2 lower body days.

    For me, going to the gym means that I’m much more likely to do a full workout than if I stayed home. It’s also easier to properly target all of the important muscle groups. Machines are a good place to start. Use lower weight than you think, and really focus on feeling the muscle and doing slow, controlled motions.

    I just do protein shakes, which is maybe not enough. I definitely don’t get enough calories, as I live alone and have a very hard time preparing food and eating a proper amount. Calorie surplus is important for building muscle. I’ve made very little progress because I keep losing any weight that I gain :(
