      It’s such a double edged sword. Exercise helps my low energy and motivation due to depression, but low energy and motivation make it extremely difficult to start exercising.

      But I absolutely see a drop in both when I get off track. That’s why, even if I’m sick (and not incapacitated), I’ll still go do something, even if it’s just walking on the treadmill for 15 minutes (at home, I’m not going in public when contagious)

        Yep. Easiest way ive found to start is to get a buddy and guilt trip each other into going regularly

        I stopped in October and started again yesterday (combination of sickness and weather) everything hurts a bit but i feel better, and im going back tomorrow 😐 takes a few weeks to stop hurting and start feeling good
