    today was upper body and by god dumbbell overhead presses hurt the back of one of my shoulders so much i don't understand why. no other exercise bothers my shoulders. are there any alternatives that provide the same benefits? i'm limited to 2 52.5 dumbbells and i have some resistance bands laying around here somewhere

    20'-ish sun salutations and yoga/stretch-y stuff.
    4.28 mile walk, 3.8mph. Colder (49F), windy, but sunny, so good.
    Around 40' easy-pace stationary biking, while (!!!) playing games on my phone.

    Trying to take these elderly, messed-up knees right up next to the brink, not over - so far, so good; discomfort, but no full-bore pain. Garmin fitness age now 25! WT actual F'n F?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Now worried that it's *broken*. 😬

    I'm hoping to add back in some core and/or more explicit strength work to the routine, but am feeling like (sigh) I'm teetering right on the edge of undesired cumulative fatigue, overstress of the problem body parts, so holding here until that changes. (Second guessing whether I'm slacking, of course.) HRrest hanging out +/- a couple of beats, so that's reassuring.

    In think in have the dorkiest workouts😂 40 mins of Just Dance on the Nintendo switch! Ftw!

    @Iwannabeapunkrockmom, fun workouts are the best workouts!

    It's Winter, my river is frozen (I love rowing the rowing shells, but that doesn't work on ice), so I'm just mostly doing tolerable stuff so I don't need to start from square one come real Spring. You are winning. That's pretty great! 🙂

    Agree completely! I row all the time on a machine. When you break down what I do, it's quite absurd actually. As my wife says, "you yank on a chain...". Does that sound bad?? LOL.

    I've done that Just Dance game and it's great exercise! Just enjoy it!

    That's a great start. Nice job!

    Today I decided to walk rather than take the car and then did an express body pump workout.

    Walked some 18km yesterday all in all, including walk to the station and back home. Slept miserably as usual for some reason. I just don't manage to wind down, have problems getting my heart to slow down when I go to bed and fall asleep. It's not drastic, mind, 75-80 as compared to 60-65. But yeah, being active all day means a poor night *yawn*

    I went for a walk yesterday, and ended up running for 10 minutes. I'm new to running, but it was quite fun. I don't know how far it was - my guess is that would have taken 20 minutes to walk that bit, so 1 mile. So I'm slow, which is expected.

    I lifted in the evening, doing 3 sets of 70 kgs (bench) and 3 sets of 5, 30 kgs (overhead press).

    Today I walk around block twice today was exhausting but I feel better for it

    Keep it going! You're doing great. We've all started somewhere. For me, when I was at my biggest (which was around 10 or 11 years ago), it was just literally a few steps at a time. I injured my knee pretty bad and it was all about relearning to walk back then, so if I did 10 steps, it was a good day.

    Did 30 minutes of rowing today. Slight progress. HR didn't get over 70% max. Then did 20 minutes of pretty easy stuff on the LateralX.

    You're doing just great, starting with what's a bit of a challenge, but doable. Perfect.

    Lots of us here didn't start being active or athletic from childhood. I sure didn't: I started being routinely active while still obese, very soon after cancer treatment, when I was already in my mid-40s.

    You're in one of the most challenging phases right now, IMO, that phase where we start to make a change in habits. You can amaze yourself with what you'll accomplish, if you just keep going patiently, challenging yourself little by little.

    It's a great sign that you're already feeling good after having done it: Yay! 🙂
