This is the /fit/ FAQ. You should read it.

It contains a fuckton of incredibly useful information for anyone seeking to improve their physical fitness.

If you post a question which has already been answered in this FAQ, don't be surprised if you find your post mocked, saged, or missing.

It's here for a reason.

Credit belongs to ZigCat for the original FAQ, with small amendments by /fit/ as a whole. RIP ZC.

I've been in the hospital for a while and during that I lost about 20 pounds. I'm 19 years old and that was enough for me to look visibly different. I went from about 130lb to 118lb. For the last few weeks I've been trying to bulk up in college but now since it's out I lost a free gym and my meal ticket.

Now I'm at home and have little money to spend on things like loads of food, supplements or equipment. I don't want to be buff or anything. I just don't want to look like a sickly, lanky twig. So is there a relatively quick and cheap way for me to gain weight?

oatz and squatz? You don't need supplements if you just eat properly, so educate yourself on nutrition. Body weight exercises are sufficient if you just want to be/look fit.

Only exercises I do:
>Squat (high bar or low bar is up to you ... I do low bar)
>Deadlift
>Dumbbell press ... Probably will transition into bench press soon for finer weight adjustment
>Dumbell shoulder press ... Again, will probably transition to the bar soon
>Weighted, yes weighted, chinups

>Absolutely no machine faggotry ... Only free weights ... Don't be a faggot.

>Lift heavy ass weights, eat sufficiently, and get enough sleep ... And don't be a faggot.

I'll go straight to the point. I'm like 1,75cm tall and 100kg. I don't have a lot of money to spend with blueberries and good food. Also, i don't wanna get all ripped and muscular. Just wanna get a good shape for my height. Request bro/protips with diets and exercises.

Squats work the back quite well. The beauty of squats is that it works most of your body.

Oh, and if you want to practice something you can show off, while working out at the same time, have a look at http://www.beastskills.com/

Squats create strong backs along with strong legs, core, etc.

Are eggs good or bad for you? I have heard both. I like to eat about 6 a day.

Of course that goes against anything ever taught to anyone, 'cause fruit is just sugar, and you need the good old protein to live, and our very nice fellows "iron" and "magnesium", remember them?

whole uncooked chickens and cutting it up yourself, bacon, pinto beans, rice (unless you want to keto),eggs (really cheap nowadays thanks to the obesity epidemic and cholesterol scare) pretty much everything you have to cook yourself. Rice paper and veggies for spring rolls are cheap too.

rice, beans, canned fruit, milk, eggs, tuna. Luckily for me I have several cheap food stores in my area for such an occasion. A chain store called Aldi's is amazingly cheap I can get a gallon of milk for $0.99. If you are really down on your luck food pantries can provide you peanut butter, bread and other items.

Any playgrounds near your home?
Some of them do great for sports. Just try going on low-attendance hours, that will make it a lot easier to use them.

Look for pdf(piratebay has it for sure) called "Convict Conditioning." Really good book on free form work-outs with no equipment. Most of it is high repetition and muscle toning.

No it's not, it's low repetition and strength training.

Found one of these quite close to home, so I decided I might give it a try.

Things I should know before I go for the first time?

I mean dos and don'ts, what to wear, special shoes needed, etiquette, any suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks, /fit/

I have been indoor/outdoor rock climbing for the last.....4 years? My best advice is as follows:

-Stretch a fucking lot, otherwise muscle cramps are guaranteed, gotta stay loose and limber.

-Equipment; Now most rock climbing places will offer shoe and harness rental. If you plan to do it more than a few times invest in a good pair of climbing shoes. They should be a half size to a full size smaller. Trust me, loose shoes mean no foot grip and that blows. Also Chalk bag is essential, otherwise your hands get to sweaty and you slip a lot.

-Start out bouldering(without a harness climbing) to get into the groove and to get comfortable with the holds.

-Don't be surprised if you don't make it for longer than 20-30 minutes your first time. Climbing is a intense sport that uses a lot of muscles you normally don't. It's really good for building core strength.

Best of luck to you brother, climb well.

Hey. There are special shoes that can help quite a lot but when starting out you can climb barefoot or lend shoes.

There is also chalk for when your hands get sweaty.

Climbing indoors helps with fitness but climbing on real rock is much funner :P

Ask someone there to help you get started.

Enjoy!

As for etiquette, please use a chalk ball that you squeeze inside the pouch, and not loose chalk. Makes the air, surroundings better for everyone.

I'm not sure why it hasn't been mentioned, but get a competent safety person you can trust. By "Safety person" I mean the one holding the other end of the rope, securing you if you fall (I'm not knowledgeable of the English nomenclature, sry). Remember to double-check each others knots!

As a final note: DON'T LOOK DOWN (or do, that's fun too!:)
