I’ve been thinking of just walking around tracks or trails but the weather over here has been cool with the wind and all. I don’t like gyms too much as there can be a lot of people there. I’ve gotten so lazy and uninterested in exercising since Covid. I eat healthy mostly except for ice cream most of the week. Haven’t worked in like a year so stay home a lot and bored af. Idk I just haven’t been myself since getting overweight and not exercising in some capacity. I have anxiety and depression as well so that factors in too. I only get motivated to make some changes when I get high at night and say I’m going to start doing things tomorrow. Once I’m sober I lack the motivation to do anything

    Basic cardio. Walk 30 minutes at a 12 degree incline, 2.5 - 3.0 MPH, 5x a week.

    Legit, if you do ONLY this, you will lose weight.

    After two weeks of doing this, add on 30 minutes of weight lifting 3-4x a week. Nothing crazy, just get your muscles working.

    Do that for two weeks. Congrats - you’ve been exercising for a month. Keep scaling up but listen to your body. Stay hydrated through the day, and 1lb of protein per lb of body weight that you’re supposed to weigh.

      I don’t think you mean “1 lb of protein”. I think it’s a around 0.5 grams per 1 lb?

        I meant 1g per ideal (goal) weight in lbs. If you’re starting at 200lbs and want to be 150lbs, eat 150g of protein per day.
