Hey, /fit/I recently started basic exercising (push ups and sit ups) and I was wondering how long until I start seeing results? I get little to no exercise so at first I only managed 5 (max) push ups but now i've moved up to about 25 (max) same with the sit ups.tl;dr how long until I see muscles?
>>354633Pretty much never if you don't make them harder.Once you get >30 repetitions, you won't gain size.Also, it takes roughly 2-4 months for actual gains.
How long? Longer than you'd like.
>>354635Hmm...I see...thanks. So as long as I continue building up the amounts I can do after a few months I'll start to notice a difference?
no. you have to lift weights, to see results.
>>354644Noted. Anything else I should know?
>tl;dr how long until I see muscles?never, until you start doing cardio and lower your bodyfat% (even if you're thin, your bodyfat% is probably high).
>>354644>no. you have to increase your resistance, and after a while bodyweight exercises aren't going to cut it.fixt
>>354658You're right, in fact I am thin and my body fat% is high, that's the whole reason i'm doing this. This is a stupid question, but what's the best free way to lower my body fat%?
>>354669cardio
>>354670I was afraid of that. Alright, thanks.
>>354678WORK THAT HEART, PUSSY.You don't want to die on the can, do you?
>>354685Haha, absolutely not. I sometimes worry about how unfit I am, at least now I'm doing something about it.
>>354687Welcome to your new life.
>>354689Thanks. I'll be sure to enjoy it.
