Exercising is hell. How long do I have to put my body through this until it becomes a habit

Welp, about 3 months to go then Lemme put Work Bitch on repeat and pray for the best.

I don't mind exercising as much as I mind having to resist the temptation to put as much food as I want in my mouth, but I figure soon enough I'll be too broken to care about things like buffets and mornings that don't involve me sweating at 8 am.

So I'm trying to bulk up a bit and even got myself a trainer.

But my main issue is the diet. I can't bring myself to eat 6 times a day. I have my daily flax seed and other fiber down, but I need more protein.

Any tips y'all? How does whey taste is it worth it.

Whey tastes amazing(especially vanilla ) and definitely worth it to get a quick load of protein especially if one is struggling to do it with real food.
It's just a supplement tho and not a replacement for a good diet

Sis you should just run 30 minutes to an hour 3/4 times a week. You can run in beautiful places in Amsterdam, and it's definitely the best way to burn body fat imo. There's lots and lots of protein in turkey, fish, cheese, beans, eggs, nuts and seeds & yoghurt.

Thanks! I don't eat meat and I can't have dairy, but the other suggestions are good.

1) Beef jerky/chicken bites are good easy quick protein snacks.

Oats mixed with vanilla protein powder, bananas, peanut butter and some almonds has a lot of energy and protein inside it. Go for about 100g of oats and half a scoop of powder for around 30g of protein. It's amazing for a preworkout meal.

Omelettes can be made in 2/3 minutes. Use 3 eggs, a dash of milk and whatever any other additions you want like peppers, ham, chillis, grated cheese etc for at least 25g of protein.

Tins of 130-150g of tuna are good too and have more than 30g of protein. Have it with a salad. Smoked Mackerel is a good source of protein too. Prawns pack a lot of protein but I have heard that they're not good for your body so don't have them too much.

Then you've got all usual stuff like chicken breasts, steaks, pork loins and all that. Be sure to get vegetables into your diet too like spinach and chillis. And take vitamins like zinc and cod lover oil.

2) Cardio is the best way although recently I have been doing circuit training instead and have seen the effects of it really quickly. If you do running try doing sprints as it will burn a lot of calories.

One of my circuit training routines are:
15 plyometric press ups
30 seconds of normal press ups
240m sprint dash
15 jumping squats
15 burpees
100m sprint dash
40m bear crawl
15 v sit ups

I repeat this 3-5 more sets depending on how I am feeling. I am gagging by the end of it

Thank YOU! Really appreciate the info you guys.

I'm gonna try to do the circuit training. I've been doing cardio, squats and crunches for a while now. I need something new. Sounds hard tho. I don't think i'll be able to do that 5 times. Lemme start with 2 sets

I eat waay too much fruit. I shouldn't because it'll spike my insulin. I need more veggies and protein. I'll stick to fish, nuts, spinach, eggs, salads. Yeah.

Really. I always thought it would taste like crap might as well pick it up. My trainer said I should drink it after workouts to retain the protein.

My only issue was trying to fit more protein in but not get sick of it. I'm really picky.

Turkish yoghurt with muesli and bananas for breakfast

What are some good stretches post running?

It tastes better with milk but it's definitely nit gross withwater eithe.
If your gym has different protein flavors you could try to test them there before you buy a big box and find out you hate the flavor.

And for those of you who say they hate running(I'm assuming y'all are talking about 40+ minutes). Why do it? HIIT training takes 15-20 minutes and is at least equally effective imo even more effective.

I hate leg days. That was yesterday and I'm always so impossibly sore the next day.

Can we get a bigger bum without using weights?

I read somewhere that sprinting in hill can help in getting our bum bigger. Is that true?

I don't have that much money to invest in weights or getting gym membership

Squats without weight in the beginning, maybe jumping squats.
Sprinting is great as well and everything uphill.

When you wake up the day after leg day and your legs just collapse underneath you

Leg day tonight first time in 2.5 weeks because I went to Cancun and skipped them. So basically I'm gonna be ****ed for the rest of the week. Dead as ****

[Reinvention]

I don't even know how to go so intense at the gym that I like can't walk at the end of the day. I'm usually dead after my usual wee workouts.

I have been absolutely abusive to my core this week. I have been doing flutter-kicks and crunches everyday last week. I am starting to feel the difference and my lower back is getting tighter. I am still easing into doing my upper-body muscles, but it's a challenge for me.

My abdominals will be tight for next summer tho.

I need to do the same. I can't have another pot-bellied summer.

I want to bulk but after a month I keep quiting and I feel ashamed going to the gym when everyone around me has great bodies. =(
