[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op a repeated theme in your comments is you’re a quitter. You quit walking because it wasn’t working fast enough. Quit peloton because the seat was uncomfortable. Quit multiple personal trainers. Your biggest challenge is not going to be finding the magical workout. It’s going to be not quitting- you have to continue doing it even if it isn’t comfortable or fun or fast. If you can manage that, you’ll get somewhere. [/quote]

OP. I didn't "quit walking because it wasn't fast enough." I quit ONLY WALKING. I walked, then realized it wasn't doing much, so added short spurts of jogging, and then increased the jogging until I made it all the way to jogging 25 minutes. That took about 7-8 months. Then I injured my achilles and had to rest for months. Then I got out of shape again. Ready to start again. [/quote]

Yes, that’s clear in your comments. My point is, anything you’ve tried could’ve been successful for you *had you not quit all of it.* This isn’t meant to insult you, it’s to reassure you that any physical movement will work for you from where you’re starting as long as you just stick with it and don’t quit. Physically fit people have one thing that helps make them fit: discipline. It isn’t a magical workout or genetics or motivation. It’s just the discipline to not stop doing it, which is what you really need to focus on. [/quote]
