"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"
Update Oct 17, 2022: I just got a new job that is very physically demanding. Not strong enough to do that job for 8 hours plus do any exercise. I am putting this thread on hold until I am stronger and fully get over covid.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hello All! I am brand spanking new here. Trying to figure out the place and hope I am doing this correctly.
A bit of history.
I was in great shape through 2013, I exercised an hour each day M-F, and went from obese bmi to normal bmi. Then in 2014 health issues got in the way and the past years since have been difficult. I am now in the worst shape of my life and it is time I change that.
Considerations
1. I have something wrong with my shoulder. I want to strengthen the muscles around that area and I hope it will help it in the long run.
2. I have knee and Achilles tendon issues so I am not able to do exercises that put a lot of strain on those areas. However, I want to strengthen the muscles around those areas to help support them.
3. I am just now getting over covid which made me very sick and extremely weak (to the point of passing out if I stood up too long). If I find I am not yet strong enough to do the exercise programs I have set for myself I will change them up as needed until I am strong enough again.
Goals
➡I want to strengthen my entire body again. I have to start at the smallest end and work my way up.
➡I want to increase my stamina and endurance so I am not winded just from walking up the staircase to my bedroom.
➡I want to be flexible again. I do not like feeling stiff and sore all the time. It is not a good way to live life.
Current Programs
Bigger Arms x 1 Set only to start out
Wall Push-Ups x 1 Set only to start out
Daily Abs x 1 Set only to start out
Glutes of Steel x 1 Set only to start out
Better Legs x 1 Set only to start out
I will also be doing my own stretching daily and soon hope to be able to get on the treadmill or exercise bike to get in cardio. In addition, I will do some of these beginner free-weight exercises
The plan is to update nightly with my progress.
