New to gym, looking for advice
Hi! I'm 18F home from college for the summer and would like to start my fitness journey. Currently, ~120lbs, 5 foot 3 in, at uni I'll walk 10k+ steps a day regularly. I honestly didn't lose weight and it's quite hard for me to do so, and i have quite a bit of excess fat in my thighs/stomach/legs/lower half bc genetically I have very wide hips and a narrower waist. I'm currently on my 2nd day at the gym and I love it, it feels great so far.
What I need help with:
- struggling to get in the 120g protein
- struggling with fiber/carbs - I have a ton of raw fruit and veggie allergies bc of oral allergy syndrome based on birch pollen (apples/peaches/plums/carrots/cherries/almonds/soy/etc....)
- I have no clue what I should be doing at the gym. This is the most important part lol.
- Any tips on fixing a rib flare?
Current routine:
Leg Day (not incl stretching but would love advice on what to do for that as well):
*goal: build muscle, lose fat, increase knee stability
15 min walk on treadmill @ 9% inclince - 3mph
Sumo goblet squats (3 sets of 15/20, 12lb weight)
Seated Hamstring Curls (2 sets 15 - trying to do 3 then inc weight, 30lbs)
Side-lying inner thigh lifts (4 sets of 15 per side, will eventually add resistance)
seated leg extensions (2 sets lowest weight for now, till failure which is like 15)
*im trying to start the leg press but i chicken out cuz i have no clue what weight to start with (or how to use it properly)
upper day:
I have no clue what to do :))
Lat pulldowns (3 sets of 12, 20lbs)
*gonna try the seated chest press maybe? lowk no clue what to do
Core:
usually stick with dead bugs, planks, pilates body weight exercises
No clue what to do lol
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
