@Mr_NutterButter
I am barely at the "let's do 10 pushups a day" phase.
I don't think you're worse at it right now. But if you have never excersized, then there is one warning I can give you.
Once you push your muscule group to the "right amount" first time, it will hurt. It will hurt a lot for 1-3 days. My warning isn't that it will happen, but that it will NOT happen again, no matter how much you push.
Noone told me this, and it was insanely demotivating to not feel my body respond the expected way no matter how much I pushed :D
@LukeAlmighty interesting okay.
That explains why you need a spotter...
@Mr_NutterButter Nonono...
The pain will start the next day :D
But yeah, you need a spotter, if you're doing some of the suicide excercises, where you can black out or you muscules can give up in the "this will kill you" pose.
But, unless you're doing bench press, you will survive :D

@LukeAlmighty I can live with the pain the next day.
I do computer work primarily so I'll just bitch to my virtual screensaver.
@Mr_NutterButter
Sure. My point was, that id didn't come next week, and I felt demotivated as hell.
@LukeAlmighty ooooooo ok I'm kinda dense sometimes XD
@Mr_NutterButter
Nah, I am bad at writing my thoughts, and I am trying to communicate my points from multiple POVs at once.
It barely works when I do it in speech, so it's stupid of me to think I can do it on the internet in text.
@Mr_NutterButter
He kinda fucked me for 10 years, so no. That was truly evil.
Something that doesn't require more than twenty to thirty minutes per day, and probably a lot less once you get into the routine, is the following:
A good "goal" for beginners to aim for, in my own beginner-mind and if you do not go to the gym, is to do fifteen to twenty pushups, fifty squats or lunges, and fifty situps. Doing this two times per day, every day, will set a good standard. As for the two times per day, I'd say morning when getting out of bed, afternoon when coming home from work and evening before going to bed are ideal times to get to it, because those are moments where you are not in the middle of doing something else.
If you cannot do the full number of repetitions, then that's alright. Just do as many as you can, and aim to increase your performance every month.
@Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty I appreciate you guys giving very good advice anytime I ask.
It really is helpful because honestly I trust you guys way more than some random article online.
@Mr_NutterButter @Jens_Rasmussen
Some random bro online told me to bulk, because "I can lose it later"
I consider that to be the most hurtful advice I've ever gotten on the internet in my life.
I would look into a set of resistance bands. They're way cheaper than weights and easier to store, but can do most of the load exercises weights can, plus a few weights can't. Or if you're not ready for that yet, there's plenty of bodyweight exercises available to start building a habit of working out, but you're really going to have a hard time targeting more than a few muscle groups without weights or bands.
I've had good success with the Sunnyfit app, it's 100% free, they have thousands of workouts at all difficulty levels and durations, and there's fun gamification where you earn points and can unlock different workouts and programs as you go.
@LukeAlmighty question for you I know this is off topic but any suggestions on some muscle training I don't have any traditional weight but I do have a few heavy objects and I have plenty of room for other exercises.
