I wanna start working out again. But I wanna go slow, so I can actually stick to it and not get super exhausted that I miss consecutive days. Any pointers are greatly appreciated!
@farah Start slow. Trying to do too much too quickly will probably hurt you, and stop you from building the habit.
@farah there’s an Apple Store app called “7 minute workout”. Sounds like an approachable way to start.
@farah Do you belong to a gym? I'd suggest working with a PT. They can tailor a plan for you and make sure your technique/form is correct.
You need a plan when entering the gym (or wherever you're exercising).

@farah Maybe start with an injury-prevention programme? I’ve been doing this every morning for six weeks in preparation for running again. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?app=desktop&list=PLwA05jtx83zygE8HqxIphntbvRKqOSnX1
And you don’t have to work out every day or whatever. It’s not the law. Just try to be consistent in whatever you do, whether that’s two days a week or five. Good luck!
@farah don’t attempt to work out every day, especially at first when getting back into it. Recovery is just as important as the exercise itself, that’s when the body rebuilds muscle that’s been broken down by exercise.
