Hi guys! For the past… ever, I’ve been putting my health and fitness aside. I tried a few times to get into the habit of exercising to no avail. I’m not overweight or anything but neither am I strong or flexible as I want to be. Mainly because I don’t want to have health troubles later in life. HOWEVER, to get started I needed to google of course and… best 10 xyz, do this, don’t do this, you breathe wrong, you stand wrong, you do everything wrong, this is the only solution. All of these can be found about anything related to fitness. How does one get started with all this nonsense, misinformation and clickable? What’s even real anymore? Thank you in advance :)

    Do 20 minutes three days a week. It’s barely any time at all, and it’s over before you know it. You will be sore, and appreciate the down days. If you feel up to it, take a 20-30 minute walk in the other days, or a sauna if you have one available. That is it for a while, do that consistently for a couple months and then it will be routine and you will be craving it. Trust the process, it does work.
