very beginner, no idea where to start
hello, i want to start going to the gym and changing my diet and just overall being more healthy and productive, but i genuinely don’t know where to start.
i’m 5’4(F) and probably 150lbs~ but i haven’t checked in a month or so.
I eat pretty awfully and maybe once a day, twice at most, and when i do, it’s usually not something healthy. currently i’ve been unemployed for almost 4 months(not by choice) so i am also moving a lottt less than i used to.
i have an idea of the type of foods i need to start eating so I’m not as concerned about that, i’m just not sure how many calories/protein i should aim for i guess since i want to both lose fat and gain muscle.
my bf and i want to start going to the gym. i want to gain muscle yes, but i do want to be 135lbs~(honestly i don’t care much about the number i just want lower fat and some muscle.) But i don’t know where to even look for advice. i’ve never worked out a day in my life. i dont know what any machines do, what muscles to work out and when, and i just feel overwhelmed
so how do you build a workout routine? how many days a week should i go to the gym and for how long? i don’t think it would be hard for me to commit to it, i just don’t even know what i’m doing lol. are there any apps, or videos?
any advice would be nice, thank you guys.
