Can I get some fitness routine recommendations?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I don't have any goals for weight loss or anything like that so don't suggest something that's made to make me smaller. I mostly just want to get a healthier body because I'm having heart palpitations that keep me awake at night and I know that getting fitter can help lower my bpm. Does anyone have any good recommendations on how I can do that? Preferably something I can do at home because I can't afford to go to a gym regularly.

Right now, my routine is just to take daily walks and increase the amount of time I'm on those walks. Started at 5 minutes, then 10, then 15, and so on with each passing day.

Jump rope is one way. You don't even have to do more than like 10 jumps the first day. Just increase by 1 each day. If that isn't an option, then I recommend cycling. If that also isn't an option, dancing. If that isn't an option, yoga is always good and will help your heart more than you might expect. Same with meditation. But calisthenics can be great too (crunches, planks, side planks; body weight squats, lunges, donkey kicks, and calf raises are some of the best for getting your heart healthy.

As a lifetime athlete and someone who has done a lot of research, the statement "You can't out-exercise a bad diet" comes to mind. Exercise is great, and you should absolutely work yourself up to at least 30 minutes a day (walking is fine), but if you are having unhealthy body issues (evidenced by a body that has a hard time walking more than 15 minutes), the best course of action is to change your diet. Most of American grocery stores carry 80% or more garbage products, that are only technically "food" and not actually good for you. Starting off with eliminating processed food would be a good start, including any fast food and a good number of non-fast food restaurants as well.

nothing good here

Bread, tortillas, bagels, everything made with flour is a huge one that people think is healthy but isn't. Picking 90% of your food from the "green" group below, with about 5% from the "yellow" group, will do you a world of good after about 2 weeks. Occasional exceptions from the "orange" group, and avoid the "red" group entirely.

I’m not doing a raw diet

[zeitgeist057]

Cooking food is fine, and recommended for many things (legumes, animal protein, eggs, &c.) to make them safer and easier to digest. Or do you mean, "I'm not doing a healthy food diet"?

Your choice, but I can say walking for an hour a day won't negate the effects of eating mostly processed and ultra-processed foods.

One possible option, if you wanted to tone specific parts of the body or shape them, is you could buy simple dumb bell weights. You don't have to go fancy or buy a lot, probably just light weights if you haven't done weight lifting at all (maybe a 5 pound and/or 10 pound dumb bell).

Also ab and chest workouts are great; planks, crunches, push-ups, etc. Walks are fantastic and highly suggest you keep doing that.

Good job and keep trying at it!

Go to your local park or walk around your house area for probably a good 30 minutes leading up to an hour when you get in better shape. If you can, jog than jog
