Since I was like 12 I was blessed with the genetics of an 80 yo. Having muscle spasms, hernias, and all sorts of bizarre crap. The two times in my life I got into a workout regime things would get progressively better until months down the line, when I'd have to do surgery of some kind, likely because I 'worked out too much'. Doctors tell me to start lifting weights, but they don't seem to believe me and simply tell me I'm a male and young and shouldn't be as frail as I am. No tests in 20+ years have shown anything out of the ordinary, except for whatever problem I developed all of a sudden, so it's no wonder. I'm afraid that trainers in a gym wouldn't be any better. Got no idea where to start. Pool workouts with the elderly maybe?

    There are many low impact sports such a yoga, swimming or even bouldering that build muscle. You may also want to consult a trainer who specializes in sports rehabilitation or the elderly.
