Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Find a non-team sport, or activity, you enjoy. Walking is incredibly healthy.
Walking is like the only thing I can reliably do, everything else comes with a bunch of caveats.
Walking is a great place to start. When I was starting to get back in shape, that’s what I did. Slowly increasing walking distance and small dietary changes. The progress can feel frustratingly slow, but before long you’ll be able to start doing short jogs, and then increasing running distance and integrating stretching and some small bodyweight exercises. All you need is a pair of shoes!
Walking and dietary changes.
Even if it's a diet you can't stick to forever, sticking to it for a couple of months, or 10 weeks should make a big enough difference that you find many exercises easier to start, and then go from there. One step at a time instead of trying to achieve finished goal immediately, will probably work better for you.
Walking is perfect, especially in green spaces.
Sounds like walking is for you then. If you want some extra challenge throw on a rucksack with some weight and you'll get heaps of additional benefits too.
Concur. Maybe toss in a light bit of stretching or like 10 mins of beginner yoga.
Stretching is imperative. I meant to add collagen rich foods, such as pork neck/tail, oxtail, hamhock.
