Greetings, comrades. So to cut the story short, my physical state is absolute junk and it’s about time to do something about it. I am overweight and lose breath after going up s flight or two of stairs, my back hurts almost daily and lifting things heavier than a backpack is stating to feel hard. All the doctors say I require exercise to resolve most issues. However, due to long commute and a few other issues, I can’t really visit gym on a regular basis (plus it’s not cheap). So what can I do from home to stop being a useless blob of blubber? For reference, I have a set of dumbbells, but using them hurts tendons in my arms more than it seems to affect the muscles.

I am seeking advice from the comrades

    If your aim is getting healthy, I would say walking and some body weight exercises should be enough.

    I would aim to do something like:

    1. 1min Jumping Jacks
2. 2x10 push ups
3. 30s High knees
4. 3x5 squats
5. 1min plank

    This plan shouldn’t take you more than 30/45 minutes. Feel free to change the sets/reps as needed I used the format sets x reps. If the reps are super hard feel free to lower them and when felling confident increase it again !

    Good luck on your fitness journey, any question feel free to ask.

    Open to Criticism :)
