Introduction
A Reddit user named Douche_Kayak has shared his weight loss journey by incorporating at-home weight training and pushups in his daily routine. He lost 10lbs in just two months and plans to add running to his routine when the weather gets better.
Routine
Douche_Kayak's routine includes doing 3 sets of 10 barbell curls, shoulder presses, and upright rows, all at 80lbs, when he wakes up and before he goes to sleep. He also does push-ups every other day, and he can now do up to 65. He has adjusted his eating schedule and avoids eating junk food.
Benefits of Weight Training
Douche_Kayak has never done weight training before and has seen great results. His arms are the biggest they have ever been, which is a new feeling for him. Weight training can increase muscle mass and improve overall body composition.
Adapting to Weather Conditions
Douche_Kayak plans to add running to his routine, but he only runs on trails and it's cold outside. He doesn't like running on treadmills, so he plans to shadow box with 5 lbs dumbbells to get his heart rate up and build endurance until it's warmer outside. He is determined to pick up running again when he can.
Takeaway
Douche_Kayak's weight loss journey shows us that simple changes to our daily habits like adjusting our eating schedules, doing at-home weight training, and adding push-ups to our routine can result in significant weight loss. Everyone's journey is different, so it's important to find what works best for you and stick with it.
