in Fitness and Exercise
Im trying to motivate myself to start doing some exercise. Long story short I struggle to go outside and I get tired very easily so I want something to get me slowly into exercising.

I'm just not sure what to do. Equipment wise I only have a mat and a long barbell. Currently the goal is to just get myself moving but eventually stomach and butt is what I want to work on.

Any help is appreciated

    Like just walk around the house?

    Perhaps around the block?

    Or down the driveway and back?

    I started with the following video. I find that I need structure and to be able to mimic movements, so I prefer workout videos. All you need to get moving is enough will power to press the start button, after that the routine flows smoothly and before you know it you are done.

    Also find this is excellent as it has a warm up and cool down, so you don't jump straight in/sudden stop at end and potentially injure something!

    Leslie Sansone "Walk At Home" or Jessica Smith walking videos are fun. Jessica Smith TV has lots of variety for other types of workouts as well.

    I like Leslie Sansone for walk aerobics. But I also will walk laps around the house while talking on the phone or listening to podcasts for a lighter calorie burn. I would walk outdoors but it’s unbearably hot outside...

    For strength training I am really enjoying HASfit on YouTube

    I like the Body Groove short videos. They get me up and moving and after I feel better. They are also a good warm up before I go walking.

    I use the 7m workout app on my phone it’s a bunch of 7 min. Work outs and they start with beginner. I use it every day some times twice a day and you don’t need equipment

    There are loads of aps you can download to your phone if you dont have time to go out. there are lots of 30 day challenges that are usually only 5-10 minutes long but they all help. If you want a longer workout there are also loads on u tube you could use. Good luck

    Squats, planks, and complex moves that engage multiple muscles at a time. Also, try to walk outside. Start slowly and work up to however far your feet can take you. Starting to change habits is a slow process if you want lasting results.
