Haven't been to the gym since May or so :(

Received an email from my gym.
>First and foremost, we want to give a tremendous thank you, to you, our incredible members.
Wait for it.
>We strive to bring you continuous improvement at all our locations
Here it comes.
>we will be implementing a $5.00 per month rate increase
Bastards.
My membership is currently $10, which makes this a 50% increase. Still affordable, and no better local alternatives. So, I'll eat it. I only go once a week but can't imagine dropping to no gym. My muscles, such as they are, would suffer.

Had the chance to go running in the hills again, and I did. By god, I did.
The whole track I used to run back in the day is only about 5 km long, but it has an ascent of about 1,5 km with an average incline of about 8 % (that's a good 130 m height difference), then it's like 2 km through the forest and then back down on the other side.
Back in the day it took me a bit over 30 min from door to door again. Yesterday - granted, I am a bit tired currently and about 10 kg heavier than when I did those times, it took me around 45 min just to the bottom of the downhill. I still did everything jogging, but it's noticeable just how much slower I have become.
Oh, how I miss the hills of my home. Where I currently live there's a height difference of like 10 m to the next village, so basically flat land.

I tried to learn a sequence from dance class which I failed to execute in class because I was way too slow. It took me an hour today just to minimally be able to get the idea of the actual movements at the right speed I more or less postponed training that sequence the last days. Frustrating but I saw some progress at least and it shows me that I want to get better at this.

175cm, 74kg, waist around 88cm, body fat around 20-19%.
I got really sick and had stop working out for almost the entire month July and half of August.
My goal is lose much fat as possible until September 22.
I'm hopeful.
No.19178 KONTRA
>>19177Are you trying to enter some kind of contest or why do you need to lose even more fat?
Or is your distribution that bad?
No.19315
>>19178Pretty bad fat distribution: my waist and tights have too much fat and that makes impossible wear all pants that I have.
Clothes are absurdly expensive right now in Brazil, any decent jeans is so fucking expensive that I can't afford that even on installments and for wear my old jeans I need I need body fat around 10-12%.
My goal is starting to get too much unrealistic and so I changed my deadline to October 22 I guess.

Autumn arrived, so I guess I'm done with the outdoor calisthenics thing for now. Signed up and went to gym today. Started with some lower numbers to get back into it, hope it won't take too long to catch up with my former PRs and make progress again.
>>19591>that's about 1 kg per weekThat's a pretty good rate. Keep it up!

I finally reached a healthy weight, but should I try gain some muscle despite be a 37yo man?
I'm currently just jumping rope (boxer skip) and doing calisthenics (pull ups, push up, sit ups).
No.19988
>>19981Congrats.
>should I try gain some muscleYes. I favor cardio over building mass, but, even so, would recommend
some lifting regardless of age. With what you're already doing, you should have a good base to start from.

If you are out of shape this shit will get you on your knees gasping for air and your muscles will indicate WEAKLING before the video is finished, though.

Has anyone here ever found themselves earting 4-6k calories worth of food every day for a week for no apparent reason? How do you break this cycle?

>>20119>Has anyone here ever found themselves earting 4-6k calories worth of food every day for a week for no apparent reason? Yes, I eat like 5 full meals a day and do so without having any real hunger feeling or anything. I just gradually started eating more at some point and it steadily increased to this point now.
