Introduction
Losing weight is a challenging journey. It requires patience, persistence, and discipline. It is not easy, but it is achievable with the right mindset and strategy in place. One Reddit user, sjwbn, decided to embark on this journey two years ago
The Start of the Journey
Sjwbn started his weight loss journey by running. However, winter lockdowns hindered his progress in that area. But when restrictions lifted in the UK, he joined an MMA gym and started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Taking up this mix of exercise helped Sjwbn regained his footing, and he was able to keep up with his runnings.
Sjwbn's Weight Loss Progression
Sjwbn lost about 10-12lbs (~5kg) in the first 12 months, then dropped another 18-20lbs (~9kg) in the following year. Doing a combination of exercise helped him work on various parts of his body, giving him that perfect, healthier look.
Calisthenics and Kettlebell Workouts
Despite the gym's closure, Sjwbn did not let the pandemic affect his fitness journey. He started doing calisthenics and kettlebell workouts that challenged him in different ways. They helped him build muscle while melting fat, keeping him swole-ish, and at a healthy weight range during the pandemic.
Wrapping Up
Sjwbn's weight loss journey serves as an inspiration that hard work and diligence in exercise and healthy lifestyles can bring about the desired results. Although everyone's body responds differently to various workouts, exercising and keeping fit help us stay in a healthy weight range, build muscle, and maintain a good health/fitness status quo. So why not give it a shot and embark on your journey today?
