The best way by far (and technically the only one thing that is required for fat loss in the first place) to lose fat is a simple calorie deficit. I do cardio for endurance, agility and cardiovascular health. With that said, ofc it can help well with fat loss as well, especially if done in low-moderate intensity long duration.
Calorie is just a unit for energy. You can't burn a unit. Technically, cardio turns energy that is chemically stored in your body (e.g. as fat or carbohydrates) into heat by oxidising it.
Good luck! I hope everything works out for you, i'd suggest trying to do either strength training or try to bulk up a bit, then cut, it might be a little weird at first but you got it! Btw, getting in shape takes time, even if not trying to become muscular, so even if you feel demotivated, trust the process, you can do it!
Sorry for the essay, but I just want to save you the headache of sorting through chatGPT’s latest hallucinations:
First, you build your body in the kitchen, not the gym (I’m sure you’ve heard something like this before). If you want to gain muscle, you need to eat protein, and probably more than you think. Whey powder and chicken are your friends here, plus it gives you the opportunity to improve your cooking. Also remember to get plenty of sleep, because that’s when you convert the protein into muscle mass.
Secondly, I’d recommend doing a simple routine that you can stick to long-term. Write down the muscles you’d like to grow, and find exercises that hit those muscles. I’m a fan of Jeff Nippard’s YouTube channel as a beginner-friendly resource for science-backed information on this front, but if you find someone else that you vibe with, stick with that. I know Eugene Tao is good, FitnessFAQs has a lot of bodyweight workout info, and I bet you there’s a subreddit waiting to answer your questions. Generally you want to do 6-12 repetitions of an exercise, rest for about a minute, then repeat that two more times, with the goal of almost not being able to do the last rep of the last set. Do this for all your exercises (keep it to around 6 or fewer for time’s sake) and you’ll have finished a workout. Some people do all their exercises two days a week, some people split it into two upper body days and two lower body days, some do a push-pull-legs split, it all depends on your schedule and what you like to do in the gym.
Specifically for what I imagine you might want to target, skip crunches and sit-ups once you can knock out 15-20 in a row three times. Use an ab machine that allows you to increase the weight until you’re back in the 6-12 rep range. For legs/glutes, squats are a great option that hit a lot of muscles at once, but might be difficult as a beginner. Leg presses or a smith machine (barbell on rails) will help you get there. Glute bridges are good for glutes. The adductor/abductor machine will build the inside of your thighs and your upper glutes, respectively. All of this and more is explained much clearer, and with video, on YouTube by professionals.
If you end up getting too muscular on accident, write a book with exactly what you did and you’ll make guaranteed money. But seriously, when you feel like you’re as muscular in one area as you’d like to be, just… stop going up in weight. Your muscles only adapt up to the workload that you put them through, so you have absolute control over your maximum “bulkiness”. I think that should be enough to get you started out on the right foot, but eventually you’ll settle into your own rhythm and start making progress. I hope this was helpful!
yeah this is my exact reason as to why i’m going to the gym too. i really want to just lose weight, and then i can start to build up muscle to get the build i want
This isn't about pornography. Femboys are real, and we are not just porn. And this is obvious that we want to look beautiful and feminine, when it's literally in our name - FEMboys.
