Hi,

I am new to this group and had few questions that I wanted to ask. I am someone who used to be overweight and have lost considerable amount of weight recently (34kgs to be exact). I am 6ft tall and weigh about 72kgs now. However, my body is still out of shape and hence why I have decided to follow a work out plan that will help me gain strength, bring my body back in shape and build muscles.

However, I cannot go to gym. It's too far way from my home and I have no time to travel that far right now. Does anyone have a specific work out plan that I can follow at home? I do have couple of dumbbells at home (weighing 3kgs each), but I was hoping for a work out plan that required no use of additional equipment - that's not a big deal though and I can buy heavier set of dumbbells, if required.

I know nothing about building your body and can do with lot of help here. I hope I get some good advice here.

p.s. I am sorry if similar thread has been made before, I am new here and will be browsing through this forum during rest of my day.

Welcome,

No active members on this board train without equipment; many have pretty well equipped home gyms, if they don't go to a gym. If you're new to working out/resistance training then there's no sense in you buying a bunch of equipment that you may or may not end up using. So I'd recommend searching for a calisthenics training program online and follow that. As a beginner most any program will yield results.

As for the 3kg dumbells: better off using them as paper weights. I'm not being sarcastic.

Folks here will be able to give support on diet and give feedback on any workout you find and have questions on.

How did you lose the weight?

To be honest, I am not looking to really bulk up. I just want to give a nice shape to my body and gain some strength. bulking up may come later, but not right now. I have no idea how heavy dumbbells do I need to achieve that. I am new to all this.

As for losing weight, I just controlled my diet and did a lot of regular running/cycling. That worked for me.

Nobody thinks you're trying to bulk:)

I actually spent good amount of my time googling similar stuff. Most of those articles turn out to be click-bait. I was looking for personal experiences and hence why I joined this forum.

Hmm, I just googled calisthenics and most of the results were workout programs and none of them were clickbate.

Nobody's going to design you a workout program. That's not what happens here, never is. We can provide feedback and guidance.

here are some key terms you may want to explore:
pull-ups
chin-ups
pushups
squats
lunges
plank

This site is really geared towards juice heads and people suffering from bigorexia. You are kind of in the wrong crowd. What you are looking to do is very simple and like Jin says Google is your friend.
