Getting back into exercise

[doadeer]

I wondered if anyone is starting a new form of exercise? Trying to get in shape? Recovering from an injury? I would love to have some company.

I haven't put in "exercise" as worried they are all super fit 🤣

I've had three years of injuries and chronic pain in my pelvis and back. I'm trying to introduce exercise to support my very sore body but easy to get dispondent about how difficult it is.

Anyone fancy joining?

I'm not very good at keeping up with threads but I'll dip in and out!
I'm 58, with arthritis in my lower back and hips, fibromyalgia, mild POTS and some old war wounds that give me some trouble.
I've recently had hand surgery, still in a cast, haven't been able to do my usual physical activities (I have horses, so looking after them independently and riding. I also have dogs, and usually drive to nice walks).
I'm trying to find some doable form of exercise, to improve my mental health if nothing else!
I've had a few goes at starting yoga on YouTube, but find it really hard watching the screen and trying to get into the poses, plus everytime I put my head down I feel like I'm going to throw up!
Hopefully people will have some good ideas we can try.

Ooh I just signed up for the gym yesterday!
Have also come down with a summer cold at the same time... but will be going for my first session next week!

Hello @cherrytree63 nice to meet you. Sounds like you're having a tough time.
Have you tried chair yoga? It doesn't all have to be downdogs. Or starter pilates which is mainly lying on your back!

@NoNameNellie welcome!

Are you nervous? Were you a gym goer previously or totally new arena?!

@doadeer thanks for the welcome and the suggestions!
