These are all excellent suggestions. I’ll just add that anything that gets your heart rate up over 120 bpm means you’re doing it right. Find something you enjoy or at least don’t mind and try to stay over that number for as long as feels sustainable. You’ll find that you get up there faster and sustain it with less effort as you get in progressively better shape.

How do we go about shutting down a sub anyway?

The only exercise program that works is the one you can be consistent with. Just start with 5-10 min/day on either piece of equipment. Watch a show or listen to music, a boon or a podcast. and when that gets too easy add 5 more min. Rinse and repeat

Maybe check out Couch to 5k
That's one possibility. I'd definitely recommend starting very slow. I've just recently been starting to exercise again, and I had some Achilles tendon pain by doing too much too quickly.
I don't have a whole lot of experience with bodyweight exercises, but I would definitely recommend squatting and lunges to help strengthen your legs and core. Upper body exercises like assisted pull-ups.
Don't be discouraged by not being able to do a lot at first but focus on getting better with each work out. I've been having to do that lately knowing I have the strength/stamina to do more, but my body is just not ready/used to the movements.
If you need some added motivation (I know I do), it'd be cool to either keep in touch on this thread or messaging to log our workouts too

I'd start with a nice walk around the neighborhood, work your way up. 15 mins a day then when you are feeling it move up from there. I also think exercise should be fun so I do dance workouts from YouTube, growwithjo is a great channel and she even has seated and workouts as short as 10-25 minutes. Find something you like if its walking, a sport, a yoga class at a nearby gym.

I was over 40 when I started. Just stay on track & if u get off track don’t let it stop u. Even if u eat some bullshit, don’t just stop working out. Keep on keeping on! I went from flabby to super cut, and now I’m moderately cut lol. It’ll change ur life!

Cardio will only go so far you need to implement a strength training with weights or machine routine you can Google many beginner ones and YouTube correct form

From personal experience, from a person who also enjoys hiking-- if you have a safe place to walk, then just walk. You don't need equipment to do what you want to do-- just walk. Start with shorter distances and gradually increase speed and distance over time. As a human, you are literally configured to be a walking machine-- go with it. If you are bored walking, try listening to a podcast or your favorite music while you do it. As long as you have a place to walk, don't ever believe anyone who tells you that exercise machines are required to be fit. PS: I owned a gym for more than 10 years, and made a good living selling access to machines-- I didn't use machines then, either.

I think motivation is key and not over doing it to begin. Don’t want injuries. Strava is an app my friend downloaded and I joined and logged my workouts to help motivate each other. We set a challenge of a certain amount of miles by this spring!

Not if you discount infant mortality. People definitely were not getting cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Of course people didn’t have antibiotics back then either. They weren’t dying due to their diet, that’s for sure.

Are you willing to get on your equipment once a day? Start with your lowest winnable strategy. For example, are you willing to try 1-2 minutes on each piece of equipment?
Forming the habit is not easy, but repetitions are key to making it feel almost automatic. Using you equipment for a minimum amount of time will lead to longer workouts and more challenging ones (when you feel like it), but in the meantime, get those small wins to build momentum. I'm rooting for you!
Start today. Workouts do not need to be arduous to be effective, especially when you are not starting from a super high degree of fitness.
