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 :)

    Number 1 rule is consistency. Whatever workout routine and schedule you adopt, you must stick with it. No don't skip it because you were tired. No don't skip because you were hung-over, no dont' skip because it's a nice day, or a rainy day. Do it consistently, and commit for months.

      Also, because you need to be consistent, it has to be sustainable. Has to be something you won't hate to do. Biggest reason why people on diets fail.
