I promise your bad experience is not representative of any "fitness circles" there. Swing by /r/fitness if you'd like, or /weightroom, /powerlifting, /bodybuilding, or any other number of gym-related subs. And even if they did, the other new people have no idea what they're doing either, and all the veterans are more focused on doing the work that they need to do than worrying about what you're doing on the other side of the room. It sounds cliche, but it's honestly true. ![]() I will note that basically nobody actually pays attention to what anyone else is doing in the gym, though. r/bodyweightfitness has a routine that you can do with basically no equipment, except maybe a doorframe-mounted pullup bar, so no gym is required. If you're self-conscious about looking dumb in the gym, there's plenty of stuff you can do from your own home. It's actually remarkably easy to get a certification to be a trainer, so unfortunately a lot of them don't have a great idea of what's really going to be helpful or not. Sounds like you just had a bad experience with a bad trainer. I would also caution people that fasting (some people practice it for religious or cultural reasons) can have negative health side effects so if you're going to attempt it, at least read up on it beforehand. Fasting, intermittent fasting and so on are just diet strategies that instill some form of discipline which is better than nothing but I don't think people should deceive themselves into thinking they're going to magically burn off the extra 5-10% bodyfat because they didn't eat on the weekend for a few months. If you want to lose more fat, just keep a caloric deficit. Macronutrients and meal timing are important for other reasons but to lose "more fat" isn't one of them. Daily reduced caloric intake, alternate day fasting, 2 days off, it's all largely the same in results. The results were largely the same, meaning it doesn't really matter which you choose. There are several studies that compared meal frequency, fasting and sustained caloric intake. ![]() This has been repeatedly examined from the 70s onward when intermittent fasting was becoming popular. It does not immediately start burning fat when you are in a caloric deficit. Do you have some to support that claim I could read? My understanding is that your body "burns" carbohydrates (stored glycogen), protein then finally fats in that order. I've heard what you said repeated several times but in the past when I look into studies, the results don't bear it out. They take their rest periods seriously and won't mind another lifter helping them to keep their working sets from running too close together. And it will help you build relationships. Most gym goers don't mind it and would prefer you to get a spot rather than just catch it out of the corner if their eye and run over to save you. ![]() So the only time you should pay any mind is if you notice a bunch of the stronger/knowledgeable looking individuals staring with their mouth hanging open during your exercises, this likely points to something up with your form.Īlso, ask for a spot if you need it. The two former options are very subjective standards of beauty, so just ignore it. If it's while you're not lifting, there's a few explanations: you're attractive, you're unattractive, or you just happened to be in their field of vision. Best advice is to be confident in your form by looking at videos of the exercises you'll be doing before the workout, and establishing a mind-muscle connection. And that's not a bad thing, they likely want to help but just don't want to intrude. If you notice people looking at you while you're lifting, it's C. ![]()
