Trainer said "aise body nahi banegi"
So I'm a 19M, I developed belly fat in my drop year, I didn't took it seriously even when my college started but when I was not able to get into the college basketball team(I was a state level player )it hit me that I am very unfit and I need to get back my stamina.
I started working out since Jan, even taking my diet seriously and reduced my fats/carbohydrates consumption. Tho I feel some changes rn as my stamina has increased, belly fat has reduced thoda sa but nothing a lot.
So I go to my society's gym which is free. There is a trainer but I had heard through some people that "trainer acha nahi hai" and he charges seperately for his personal attention
I developed my workout plan through chatgpt/youtube to reduce belly fat and increase stamina (I'll include the workout plan at the end). As I wanna just do that and get into the basketball team next year.
So today I'm working out, the trainer approaches me and says "mai 6mahine se dekh raha hoon, pet kam nahi ho raha hai tum kuch bhi workout karte ho"
I said "proper plan bnaya hai ussi ko dekh kar karta hoon"
He replies "aise youtube ko dekh kar hody banti toh sab bana lete bmi, fatty acids, etc etc yeh sab dekhna padta hai and fir proper workout plan Banta hai, mere pass aajao 1 mahine ma body bana donga "
I was disheartened to hear that I replied"theek hai soch kar batata hoon"
Tho I was not regular in the gym since past 6 months due to college and exams and getting used to the travelling.
So I wanna hear your opinion on my workout plan or if should I take his advice and join his workout plan
