I find it very hard to sustain exercising. Over the past 5 years, I've gradually felt physically weaker and more tired. My condition is such that, according to my treating specialist, if it weren't for all the years of ongoing therapy since I was a very young child, I would have 'ended up in a wheelchair, undoubtedly.' I fear that as I get older, that is the fate that awaits me.
I am attempting to do bodyweight exercises, but after menopause, my sleep has been absolutely horrible. I’m tired all the time and experience consistent lower back pain. I really would like to get stronger, but I don’t know where to start. I used to love to run, but I know weight training is important. Where should I begin?
I am going through a separation after 23 years with my husband. This was not what I wanted, and I find myself in a bad emotional spot and have lost my motivation to work out. I went from walking every day, strength training 5 days a week, and monitoring my macros daily to barely being able to eat and having little motivation to exercise. I would like to get back to a healthy and manageable strength routine. What would be a recommended exercise plan for someone who is getting in very little calories and, although was very fit, is not feeling very strong or capable at the moment? Thank you!
