Hi after a very hard couple of years I suffered a complete mental breakdown from ptsd a months ago. I am slowly (very!) putting myself back together and would like to try and get some health and fitness back. I put on a huge amount of weight due to medication and shot up from a size 16 (which isn’t small I know) to a 20/22 in just a few months.
I am now on a different medication which should halt that but the fact is I’ve still got the weight. It physically hurts to exercise I feel so weak. I walk the dog and do not lead a sedantry life style at all but i want to become stronger physically and mentally and feel that this may help me rebuild my life. I have 8 weeks off work (I have quite an active job where I am on show a lot of the time) and would like to use this time but I have no idea at all where to start.
I can’t face classes at the moment and running is painful on my knees so looking for other things. I have taken out a swimming membership but feel very self conscious in a costume.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thank you x
