Hey everyone! Sorry if this ends up long I’ll try to keep it concise and straight to the point. I’ll introduce myself first, my name is Paul and I’m 16 year old with little muscle and a bit chubby. I’m excited to go the gym this summer with or without a partner but hopefully with. I was hoping that the kind fitness community would give me some pointers. I’ll try to organize this post into different sections.
My diet has improved a lot during quarantine, I’ve improved my portion size as well as my eating times. I’m getting lots of protein and good nutrients from wherever I can, but my lifelong problem is that vegetables gross me out, nothing I do can get me to eat them so I’ve tried to improvise. I plan on maintaining these improvements for good and was hoping for some exercise recommendations to go with my diet. Now I’m very inconsistent, every other day I start off with 3-5 pushups then do sets of 10-20 depending on how I’m feeling. I try to do sit-ups but I’ve gotten bad at them and have a hard time. I can’t do enough pull-ups for a routine yet so those are out of the question. I’m thinking about dumbbells but how should I go about them? I’m clueless.
If I don’t get a partner what should I do? I want to do bench but I’m too shy to talk to anyone. What can I do instead for upper body? With lower body I’m clueless, I’ve never legs due to medical issues which I’m hoping to power through, what can I do to start off slow? I enjoy running on the treadmill but what should I do if I feel myself wanting to vomit? Last time I power walked for about 30 minutes and that was too much, I’ve gotten used to running so how can I find myself a good place?
Since I’m flat footed, my ankles have collapsed and my feet point outward, it looks like an upside down triangle. All my life it’s been easier to walk tiptoed so that’s how I normally walk/run without shoes, with shoes I do everything better but my feet still aren’t completely straight. When I squat with straight feet my knees bend inward so it’s very difficult to do stuff like that, does anyone know ways to fix that? If anyone would like to see pictures I’ll post them.
Lmao I wrote this twice and cut out all the unnecessary bits, thanks for reading and for all advice in advance. I really want to take hold of my life and enjoy my young years before I ruin them, my HS years have been rough and I’m hoping that improving myself will be the first step to feeling better about everything!
