How am I going to stay motivated to go once I start my gym routine
the first few months will be easy because of 'newbie gains,' but after that, you need to focus on solid habits, or you'll plateau like really really hard. Aim for a consistent routine with progressive overload, don’t just show up and expect it to happen. You need to be lifting heavy enough that your muscles have to adapt and grow. For diet, make sure you're eating in a surplus, but don’t go overboard with junk food. Focus on high-protein meals (around 1.6g per kg of body weight) to maximize muscle growth. Carbs are crucial for energy, so don’t skip on them.
The first few months, focus on compound lifts: squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, and rows. Start with a basic push-pull-leg split or full-body workouts if you're new to it. By June, if you stick with it, you should see noticeable gains, not full ripped status, but you'll be on track for sure. But don’t expect perfection overnight. consistency is key. Don't act on motivation, act on discipline. If you want to look good, work for it. That's your 'motivation'.
The most important thing is getting into a routine and not expecting instant abs or arms, you gotta keep your focus, and the progress will come. But seriously, get your diet and workout right early so you’re in a good spot for the longterm grind, otherwise you're setting yourself up for failure.
