Hi guys! For the past… ever, I’ve been putting my health and fitness aside. I tried a few times to get into the habit of exercising to no avail. I’m not overweight or anything but neither am I strong or flexible as I want to be. Mainly because I don’t want to have health troubles later in life. HOWEVER, to get started I needed to google of course and… best 10 xyz, do this, don’t do this, you breathe wrong, you stand wrong, you do everything wrong, this is the only solution. All of these can be found about anything related to fitness. How does one get started with all this nonsense, misinformation and clickable? What’s even real anymore? Thank you in advance :)

    Find something you enjoy and forget about the rules. Climbing, swimming, jujitsu, rowing, football… You will stay with it longer because of the social network you will make. Most of these groups will share kit and teach newbies if they are worth their salt. :)

    I desperately miss climbing but I got too injured for now (unrelated). I made some friends for life, though, even if I cannot get back into it. I was more fit at 30 than 18 with those people.
