Mad Muscles for fat loss – anyone tried it?

If you’re starting out, MadMuscles is totally fine. It scales well, you don’t need to be “fit” first.

Nice, thanks - sounds like I should try it then. Also, recently have found such post, interesting...

I haven’t personally tried Mad Muscles for fat loss, but a lot of people find success when a program combines strength training with good nutrition and consistency. Tools that help build strength, like resistance training with something like https://www.gorillabow.com/, can definitely complement any fat-loss plan by increasing muscle tone and boosting metabolism. As always, pair any program with a balanced diet and listen to your body.

A week ago, I started using MadMuscles to lose some weight. For now, the workouts seem to be too easy, and I'm wondering if it's okay... I'm not sure if it's a part of adaptation or if I need to increase the load by myself. I'm afraid that with such training I'd be bored or could harm myself with sudden complications...

Yeah, it's totally okay. I also had too simple workouts at first, but in a couple of weeks, they became harder without abrupt changes.

Good to know, sounds like I just need to give it a bit more time then.

Hmm sounds suspicious. I think if you don't feel the load then you won't have any results.

I disagree. The lack of sore muscles does not mean bad training, especially for beginners.

I didn't wait for the load increase, so I just added one more set to every exercise by myself. It made the workouts a bit harder.

Can I just increase the tempo not the weight?

I tried to slow down the exercise repetition, and it was really harder

For me, this easy start with MadMuscles was perfect after the long pause without training. It helped me to get back to my regimen

Better to start with easy exercises than to get some injuries in the beginning.

personally, I focus on my pulse, not on the feeling of fatigue

It was easy until the first leg day 😅

Haha, fair, leg day always hits different.

Recently I decided to try out home workout, although I have too little space: just one room without any corner to equip thehome gym. I started with a fitness mat and some basic equipment. Before purchasing it, I read many articles, forums, and users' comments and found out various opinions.
Some people progress without any equipment, while others say that a minimum weight is required. Most often, people use dumbbells and rubber bands as a starting set.
I want to get results and real progress, not just keep myself active. So, how do you think, is it worth buying some equipment or it not necessary? What is your experience with home workouts?

Hello

I train at home with very limited space and no equipment for a long time. I was using MadMuscles, and the app still helped me to progress even without equipment, especially in the beginning.

Without extra weight, progress is pretty limited though. At some point you just hit a ceiling.
