Hello!
I've been on for about a month off and on, looking for support or suggestions to stay on track for good! Hoping to do a complete overhaul of my diet and slowly...very slowly add in exercise. I would love to be able to run eventually but baby steps
I injured my back over the summer was in serious pain up until a few weeks ago. Now that I feel comfortable moving, I need some motivation to get started in the right direction. I never want to take my health for granted again!

Was a doctor involved and have you been cleared for activity? Feel free to add me.0

Yes! I was working with my doctor, a chiropractor, and my PT. They have cleared me for low impact cardio and strength training. No running yet. Thanks!0

Hi, @Klolittles! Baby steps are a good way to begin. If you're looking for good, low impact cardio, may I suggest the elliptical? It's how I got started 16 months ago. Once I was in decent shape, I started doing high intensity interval training, and my weight loss and fitness really took off.0

Thanks! I'm looking into buying one second hand.0
