I have no idea what I'm doing, /fit/. I just finished READING

did you click on the sticky? or just skim it?

I'm a novice at this whole health and fitness thing, so it was really confusing to comprehend. I never played sports growing up, and my family raised me on fried fat ass foods.

Work on reading comprehension.

Retard alert

just start a simple calisthenics or lifting routine and eat healthier foods. Do cardio 1-2x a week on days you dont lift or do calisthenics. It's a marathon, not a race you need to make sustainable changes.

cant do both, building muscle adds fat, losing weight loses muscle.

>>40691618
this. Muscle is purely genetically predetermined. You can only shrink your gut by toning or lose muscle by dieting. Building muscle will grow your gut back but it will look different.

You do them in sequence.

Cut if your fat is the thing that bothers you the most and you don't mind staying somewhat weak for a while until you can bulk.

Bulk if your weakness is the thing that bothers you the most and you don't mind getting fatter for a while until you have something worth cutting to.

Alternate between these two until happy.

Alternate course: eat at maintenance and slowly recomp.

Godspeed.

Sticky links are all dead anyways

Easy answer to this.

DON'T BASE YOUR ROUTINE OFF ANYTHING ONLINE UNTIL YOU GET SOME PRIOR KNOWLEDGE YOURSELF.

Are you in high school? Sign up for weigh-training class. If not, most gym memberships have personal trainers you could learn from. If your membership doesn't include one, then purchase the services of a personal trainer. They aren't that expensive.

this is a troll, also known around here as a 'gains goblin". You can tell because he wants you to delay your goals for no real reason.

This is a good way to gain weight.

Yeah, sure, go train with some clueless public trainers that got their knowledge from a 70's magazine. True story my first trainer taught me to squat with the bar on my neck and staying above parallel because "it hurts the lower back".
