(relatively) quick/easy/at home exercises that are efficient?

[bbch25]

So I am quite overweight/obese.
I do have current knee/feet problems so something like running, jumping, and even walking isn't the best option. I ask for at home because money is a bit tight currently.
But, my physical insecurities are getting a bit over the top now and seeping into other insecurities and jealousy etc. So weight takes a while to lose, but knowing you're doing something still gives you some confidence.

So if people can offer some decent exercises and perhaps how many etc?

You need low intensity cardio anyway to burn fat. And for a minimum of 30 min to start the fat burning cycle. If you are afraid for your knees, try swimming (for 30 min to 1 hour). If you have no free swimming pool around, go for walking anyway, but buy good demping shoes. And I would suggest a start to run program when you feel ready for running. It will gradually increase the running time vs walking time and condition your knees and anckles.

If you have a bike, biking is another good option. Better for the knees. But at least a 1 hour ride.

Thanks, I'll look into the shoes then, no swimming options around really which sucks because I'm a swimmer!

[Xfitchick]

Try lifting weights or sit ups, push ups there are lots of videos on you tube you can watch to help😊 but please don't think about starving yourself that's never helpful

[bbch25]

Ha, I'm never hungry so I probably already do starve myself without realising. Eating healthier is already on my list though!

Youd probably be able to find a much wider variety on google.

[bbch25]

Yeah but some people here are very into fitness or maybe even professionals and may be able to say what works better whereas google gives 100 things and realistically 99 are crap perhaps and do nothing.
Besides, if I can do both - why not!

Honestly I don't think this would be anymore credible haha. If you want accurate answers and maybe a more personal routine you should find an exercise forum, plus might even find people to talk to throughout it and motivate ya.

[bbch25]

True, but hey, that's still a helpful answer :P
I don't really know any forums though, this is the only website I'm on so

Once again google is there to answer all of lifes problems haha. Just look for an active one "workout forums". If not goodluck anyways!
