How do I get back?
25M. Vegetarian. I was doing just fine wrt to fitness a couple of years ago. Went through a surgery then and had to take bed rest for a month. Covid came into picture after that. Couldn't get back to the same level of fitness at all.
Now I feel tired all the time. I try working out now, my body pains and I'm finding it extremely difficult to get out of the vicious cycle of eating bad and waking up tired.
Were any of you in a similar situation? Any suggestions are welcome
Start with a few walks. Try increasing your protein intake a bit( I would not advise supplements without lifting weights). After a few weeks, join a gym.
I would encourage you to try social workout formats (Cult, CrossFit or group sessions). This helped many as group-motivation kicks in once u see everyone making their best efforts.
Start with baby steps, intake paneer, banana , curd/yoghurt, peanuts, pineapple/kiwi, ghee more in your diet . these foods release happy hormones. Hire a trainer , strength train thrice a week, dance on your fav songs. Also practice pranayam if you can.
