Sounds like you have decent friends that care about you and want you to get in better shape.

Keep at it, in less time than you think you're gonna enjoy yourself on these hikes. Watch your knees though, on the descent. Use good shoes, avoid hard surfaces.

Find another fatfriend to go on trails with you, so you don't slow your fitfriends down. Eventually graduate from trails to hikes and from fat to fit. Repeat adventure with fitfriends, get better results, post here. Or an hero and livestream it on /b/. Whatever you want to do with your life, anon; we're not your friends, we're words on a screen that don't care if you exist. Whatever it is, get /out/ there and do it.

Sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at it. Keep going, man. It's only walking, but it's a lot of fun. Rest that knee, though.

Sounds like me about 9 months ago. At least you're not fat though. Just be careful on the downhills. You will fuck your knees. The more you practice and strengthen your joints you'll be better off. I hike solo now since I enjoy it so much but it definitely took some working up to and building of that cardio endurance.

25 is quite a lot, think about it, how many bottles of oil are in you? Go to the grocery store and buy that amount of oil and see how fucking lot of shit that is. Of course body fat is not oil but just to let you see it's quite a lot of shit. I hope that makes you start working out.

Matey, the fat threshold is anything over 20%. Aim for 15%

Buddy. Guy. Friendo.

I'm 6'3" and 135- you're just a slightly shorter me with forty pounds of floppy dead weight attached. I have thoroughly unimpressive muscle mass, I know I'd be fucking exhausted if I had to carry that around.

Also you're fat.

unless you tie them down a lot and complain they might not mind if they are good friends.

for example, i take my unfit friends on hikes and its ok. i plan accordingly with the expected times and extra supplies needed. i do babysit them, by feeding them snacks like jerky or power bars from time and animating them to drink a lot. Asking if they are hot or cold or feel like they might get a blister, sunburn etc so i can intervene before it gets bad.

breaks are ok too even if it might not look like it i enjoy and need them too, and i might have suggested one 30 min later anyways.

just do your best, be prepared, show that you care. don't be afraid to ask how to do things better if you lack in experience. be honest i'm not going to be mad if you tell me you're unfit. but it sucks if you hide it and we late for the last bus back.

>6'0", 175lbs
yeah that's fine just need more endurance by training. but hiking will improve fast with training.

It's all about efficiency. I'm at the bare minimum healthy weight for my height (I know this because I know a guy my height was told by his doctor that he had to stop chemo if he got below 135), and my body basically maintains itself at that weight with little to no intervention from me. I eat when I'm hungry, and I've been the same size for a decade.

The fewer cells there are in my body, and the less those cells are metabolizing, the lower my chances are for most cancers, by the numbers.

You're an honorary manlet, you fucking Skeletor. Eat a fucking cheeseburger before I kick your ass

As for OP, never be embarrassed about working out. No matter how self-conscious you feel, just remember that at least you're trying to do something about it, and everyone else that sees you knows that too. Nobody is going to be judging you that hard, and if they are, they can go fuck themselves.

Also ignore the dyel manlets telling you that 25% body fat means you're a fatty. I know plenty of weightlifters and that's pretty normal for Bear-Mode bodies. You're huffing and puffing because your body simply isn't used to exercise. Try doing cardio for at least half an hour a day, every day, and you'll see some pretty significant improvement within 4-6 months

Don't trust the retards on this board for fitness advice, half of them never actually even go outside and the other half are lanky, scrawny hipsters. Go here:

Mate, 25% at 175 lbs is the epitome of skinnyfat. At that height, a 25% bearmode would be more like 220+ lbs.

That being said, you're right about just having to train. I know plenty of 25-30% guys with not much muscle that are decent hikers, because they've been hiking for years.

Sorry I didn't see in the thread if he specified his weight, I just saw his height and body fat content and gave him the benefit of the doubt that he might be kinda built like a bear. I've got a pretty bear-mode body and I can run faster and further than most of the twinks I go to school with. Like I said he just needs to get out there and keep doing it so his body gets used to exercise.

Hike on flat ground for a couple days a week for a month. Then tackle the hills. When walking down the hills, walk in a switch-back pattern to save your knees.

disregard this retard, op. keep hiking with your fitfriends so you have motivation to keep moving and getting fitter. if you just hike with another fatfriend odds are you'll just end up enabling each other and getting nowhere.

>>1108229
no, that's hungry skeleton mode. at 6'3" anon would have to be *at least* 180 lbs to start scratching ottermode.

10% constant elevation is pretty steep
I have seen it taking its toll to people with better stamina than me just because they werent used to it(where is your track god now), it hits other muscle groups and hits them hard

You will get better, maybe try a less steep elevation or a shorter route

Don't stress anon; the good news is that from that level there's nowhere to go in fitness terms but up. Doing some light cardio regularly (3x times a week) alone would get you to normie level pretty darn fast. Like, within 2 months fast. You'll be able to keep up in no time, and then you might actually be outpacing them if you want to. A lot of people don't actually do much exercise, and overtaking them is easy.

Plus hiking is actually some pretty fucking good exercise in itself.
