    Hi. Have you tried jump rope? Id recommend it. Start steady 30 seconds on, 30 seconds rest. Continue that for 5 days then increase the jump time by 10 seconds each week (rest 30). Just start with 5 minutes per day for the first 2 week then increase week on week. Good luck.

    Sounds like you need to gently strengthen your core and back muscles before attempting any more high impact exercises. Walk before you run, so to speak. Walking is low impact, unless you’re hiking a demanding trail. Other low impact exercises are swimming, yoga, and biking. Try beginner yoga, there is a free channel on youtube that’s helped me a lot: Yoga with Adriene. Good luck on your weight-loss journey.
