Starting to go to the gym can be intimidating and overwhelming. Luckily, you don’t need to deal with all of that to get started and all it takes is less than 5 minutes a day.
When you first wake up, do 5 pushups and 5 squats. That’s it, no weights, no nothing. You can even do the pushups on your knees if you need to build up strength. Do them everyday and once it becomes easy, and trust me it will, increase to 10.
I guarantee you will start to see and feel a difference in just 2 weeks 💜
Excellent suggestion and advice. Something like this really does make a huge difference.

I go for a walk every day with my dog but my fitness definitely still has room for improvement.

Great advice! It’s about building habits slowly not about overnight life changes. If we make small changes regularly we change our lives over time!
I can squat and browse Lemmy at the same time right?
💪
I’ve been doing the plank and some leg lift exercises to work my back a little. Sitting on a chair kills your back muscles and ruins your life.
It’s easy, lay down your belly and lift your legs up. Leave em there as long as you can.
Repeat every day then backpains vanish.
Take care of yourselves apes!
This is great advice. Turning up is half the battle so make it easier for yourself where you can and start with something that seems like nothing then watch yourself become something!
