Greetings, comrades. So to cut the story short, my physical state is absolute junk and it’s about time to do something about it. I am overweight and lose breath after going up s flight or two of stairs, my back hurts almost daily and lifting things heavier than a backpack is stating to feel hard. All the doctors say I require exercise to resolve most issues. However, due to long commute and a few other issues, I can’t really visit gym on a regular basis (plus it’s not cheap). So what can I do from home to stop being a useless blob of blubber? For reference, I have a set of dumbbells, but using them hurts tendons in my arms more than it seems to affect the muscles.
I am seeking advice from the comrades
If your aim is getting healthy, I would say walking and some body weight exercises should be enough.
I would aim to do something like:
1. 1min Jumping Jacks 2. 2x10 push ups 3. 30s High knees 4. 3x5 squats 5. 1min plankThis plan shouldn’t take you more than 30/45 minutes. Feel free to change the sets/reps as needed I used the format
sets x reps. If the reps are super hard feel free to lower them and when felling confident increase it again !Good luck on your fitness journey, any question feel free to ask.
Open to Criticism :)
pushups and squats may be too difficult for a beginner. they probably need to work up to it.
I do agree with that, probably my workout plan is poorly made for people with low mobility. Maybe replace the squats with sitting down and up from a chair
