Make sure you’re hydrating correctly and eat clean. Stick to protein when you eat. Carbs will ruin it all

Build muscle people do not get crazy with cardio. Muscle mass is crucial.

Don’t use machines please

Get some 10 lb dumbbells. Start with standing overhead presses and goblet squats.. 3 sets each 6-8 reps. 2-3 times a week, when it gets easier add another set. Weight training is crucial to add and maintain muscle mass.
