I’m an putrid, foul, disgusting *************. I’m also out of shape.

something refreshing to the forum, nice idea

You can do this, @Sabbath!

If you want any workout advice or fitness advice, I'm you guy, 

Best advice is leave you ego at the door, proper technique is number 1 and doing a good amount of reps is number 2, How heavy the weight is number 3

And another thing is muscle is built in the gym and made in the kitchen,Eat well

And walking alot is the easiest way to lose weight

@Duck kickboxers/muay thai guys pretty much train for endurance, not strength. They don't do a lot in the weight room. Lots of resistance training.

There's a couple of MT guys from NTG that train near  where I live on this really nasty ass hill, really steep. They just jog up and down in carrying a light (?) bag until they basically collapse. It's pretty brutal after a while especially in summer. Saw one guy projectile vomit halfway through a sesh one time, it was pretty gnarly.

@Sabbath As Baldric said, do you live near any decent hills or mountainous areas? Hill sprints/jogs are literally one of the very best exercises ever, they have been and still are a big part of my life. Do sets of up to 10 to start, work up to 15 or 20 over time... You can do sprints on flat land too, add in sets of push ups and squats in between and shadow boxing/kicking, really get a hill if you can though. Running long distance or jogging is important too for long duration cardio, but just walking long distances is a good conditioner for your body in itself, and more easy going so you can go far. Also shadow box as much as you can, warm up and get a sweat going, or start very lightly, do 1000 right straights, 1000 right uppercuts, 1000 left jabs, 1000 left middle kicks etc, you can work towards winning your fight all the time, not just in gym. Do combinations too. But shadow box with fluid technique not being too forceful, with good technique the power comes naturally. Also try a ketogenic diet, try to lower the amount of starchy wheaty carbs you intake, or carbs in general and it will help you lose weight a lot. Try to aim for mostly vegetables and meat/fish, some berries and dark chocolate for treat cravings. Its hard but worth it. A small amount of carbs is ok.  Work towards OMAD (one meal a day) and that will have alot of weight loss and general health benefits, and save some food money. In the developed world many many people often eat too often, less is much more in terms of good health. Also a pull up bar is a must, become great friends with a pull up bar, just hang from it and work towards 1 rep 4 reps 8 reps etc... I used to be able to do 50 push ups in a minute and 20 to 30 pull ups without a break, trying to work back to that myself, I had some issues and let myself go too... Always hard getting back to where you were but a worthy pursuit. I was in damn good shape before, maxing out hill sprints a few times a week, and doing martial arts sessions, I used to get chest pains.... Wish I made more of it/fought in more tournaments or styles... Well hoping I still have it in me. I live literally on a great big hill so I have no excuses time to grind it more.... Oh also, swimming and cycling are good ones, if theres a pool or bike machine gym nearby, maybe you have a bicycle either... Mix it up anyway, try all different workouts, but make hill sprints one of your core ones and you will go far.

@Sabbath Oh damn you have a wife and newborn kid! So it will be harder to get in shape when you have such commitments, but do what you can. Hill sprints are very time effective, your in and out fast, hard workout and push done. Running long distances or other stuff not as time effective. And not as much of a rush.

That slap of reality and moment of realization before the work is worth every prayer you’ve ever prayed. Haha. From first hand. 

I still struggle with motivation for cardio and leg days. I wish I could say I didn’t. 

It's cool that you're doing a kickboxing match later this year, best of luck dude!

Bro you should add dips to your workout

Bro, you should add interpretive dancing to your workout.
