Health is overrated

Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. FML

First impressions

Today, I joined a gym. I’m overweight and not very athletic, so I was nervous. I looked around and tried a treadmill. I start walking at a chill pace, then got ambitious and cranked it to a "light jog." Within seconds, I tripped, fell, and sent the emergency stop button flying across the room. The gym staff ran over and I swear someone said, “Well, at least he’s trying.” FML

Walk at a slower pace at first. Skip the treadmill, and walk around the block or up and down the street until your endurance is built up.

And stretch beforehand! It’s extra important to do so when you are just starting to work the muscles again.

Taking the first step is already great work, please don't get discouraged because it's hard to climb back up. You can do this!

Don't give up! Maybe get the trainer from the gym to help you plan an exercise regime, and slowly build up your workout. If you're not used to exercising, take it easy at first. I'm so proud of you, OP, for getting started! You'll be so glad you did!
