You can still lift weights in order to build muscle which will help to burn the fat without getting too bulky. To do this I think you need to use lighter weights and more reps, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, that's what I ended up reading on Google and stuff, so once the gym reopens, I'll get back onto that.

If you find yourself getting bored, maybe start looking around for workout classes that you can join. That way you're not jumping around a lot (well, from machine to machine).

Some people have been recommending a Zumba class to do. I guess now's a good time to take advantage of these classes.

As far as being in the gym for 1-2 hours, I would say try not to overexert yourself so early in the game, being that you did start two days ago. The worst feeling is going hard at it for a few days and then burning yourself out to the point where you don't go anymore. I'd say 30-45 minutes is ideal.

Additional note on getting bulky: The guys you see at the gym that resemble clouds take a s'hit ton of supplements. As far as I'm aware, there's a certain threshold your body can reach on its own in terms of muscle mass before you have to seriously start taking supplements to get past that. I could be wrong.

Okay...I think I'm going to start breaking down my workout since it's been more of a "I feel like doing this right now". With 45mins, 10 min workouts seem do-able.
And as for the super buff guys...the supplements would explain A LOT then. One of my roommates had a gigantic tube of powder and he was pretty big o_o

Does it hurt, or is it just soreness?

It's really just soreness.

What is your body fat? Your weight seems a bit high, compared to your height.

I....have no idea....
I really should check that as soon as I can ._.
