Hi new in this section of the avf boards
I am totally unfit,....kind of sit down lie down get up goto car drive arrive sit down again.
I never ever did any sports really even in school, just wasn’t interested so always bunked off.
Never done strenuous work or activities
Quite a heavy smoker aged 48
Started swimming last year used to manage 4-6 lengths and arms would pack in (breastroke) first two sessions I was out of breath at that distance
Had to relocate home so didn’t keep it up
I suffer from social anxiety so feel dodgy walking in to a gym......
Anyway rather than pay out for gym membership inc swimming I am thinking
A) build up some fast walking start at 15 mins and increase over month
B) pressups
C) situps
D) stop eating crap and get a decent diet going on
Questioning you all am I on the right track????
I intend to join swimming/gym once stamina improves and I can feel good instead of being ashamed at climbing out after 4 lengths haha
There is a leisure centre 7 minutes walk away from me
