Body health.

[Long Dark Blues]

A quick heads up. I do get my steps in throughout the day due to my job, and I work outdoors, so lack of sunlight isn't an issue.

Just did this.



I'm really inflexible, plus my floor is hard, so it was problematic, but I got through it. A bit sweaty, a bit out of breath, but my joints hurt whilst doing it and I couldn't hold position properly as I put the video on the TV. I'll keep at it though.

Only thing is now my downstairs neighbour has a bellend sticking out of his ceiling, and I'm stuck to the floor.

Edit: I'm off the floor. Neighbour used a hammer.

I'm actually shaking from it, more than I would if I went to the gym to workout. It's directly opposite what I've been doing at the gym for years, with running, weights and machines. My legs in particular, felt very heavy when doing it, so I felt like I didn't have much control over my body during the more animated sections. However, I did like the squatting parts, even if balance was an issue on occasion. I even had issues with the push ups when kneeling. I can bust out plenty of push ups even now, but because I've done it as a fast, repetitive, explosive set of motions and not actually held my weight for a period of time, the strength required seems to be different. My left toe and my months of inactivity has no doubt taken hold as well.

Body control, that is what I need to master, and it looks like it'll be a long climb uphill.

Puzzle mats will help with the hard floor. Or a yoga mat. But as a hefty dude myself, puzzle mats offer more cushion and comfort.

You need to practice firing the core muscles that's where balance and stability come from it doesn't take long to get it down every move and position should be done while firing the core

"You can't outwork a bad diet", as they say.

Yeah if OP has never counted calories with seriousness he's in for a shock. Just the oil, creamer and random condiments you never think about add up like crazy. Intermittent fasting can be helpful for that because instead of trying to calculate everything you've eaten throughout the day, you just have to worry about doing the math for the one main meal.

Spot on man. Like a tablespoon of mayo has 100 calories! People don’t even think about that. It probably take a mile walk to burn a that tablespoon of mayo.

Diet is everything. End of story

Light exercise, and diet down. Once you're lighter, reevaluate what kind of exercise you want to do. Your joints will thank you for that. If you still have that bike you mentioned, that would be a solid way to get some cardio in without being hard on your body.

I did the one mile or so run to and from St Ann's Hill today. 0.8 miles there, then did a loop back to the road and back home. It wasn't as problematic as I thought it'd be. The first half is a big uphill climb but it wasn't that difficult with the right attitude. Going back down was relaxing, though my knees felt a little sensitive. I sprinted the last part back. Unless there is a lot of rain, I'm fairly confident I can do it daily.

I then did this.



I used a 20kg kettlevell and I tired out quickly. After the first set of swings, the rest of it I had to cut in half. I felt tired, slippery and not in control. I also have bad range of motion.

It's a start.

You can eat way more fat/protein than you can carbs without getting fat.

Calories in/calories out is like Dave Ramsey level of advice when it comes to nutrition. Yeah it absolutely works but there are better and easier ways to lose weight.

One measly 140 calorie soda per day will make you fatter than 500+ calories of almonds.
