[quote=Anonymous][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]
This is So. Not. Helpful.
OP ignore this poster. Start walking, get a trainer to show you proper form to lift weights, increase protein, cut junk (sugar and alcohol). Also to the posters telling OP to jog/run, that it terrible advice for someone 50 years and self defined out of shape.

Signed 58y who was out of shape and overweight 30 lbs and now quite fit after a year walking and strength training.[/quote]

Some of you need to learn the difference between “this isn’t fun to hear” and “this isn’t helpful.” Telling OP her main issue is stick-with-it-ness and to focus on continuing with exercise when in the past she has quit IS helpful. The main reason she is out of shape isn’t because she never tries, it’s her propensity to quit anything she does try. So whatever she tries THIS TIME she needs to make it a goal to not quit when it gets boring or uncomfortable. [/quote]

+1 I’m a trainer and this is the key. Motivation is essential no matter what the exercise program you choose. Not just to get started but to stick with it in the rain, when you’re busy, etc.[/quote]
