Very out of shape, tried doing a 15 min full body cardio thing on youtube (HIIT?). I was able to complete it but At the end I felt like I was gonna die 😂 should I switch to an easier video? And does it get better? 😂

Whenever I stop working out and restart I do a mental “Day 1, Week 1, Month 1” to mentally pace out the difficult upward climb of getting back into shape. Each is a milestone I celebrate. By the end of Month 1, it’s typically much easier.

Maybe pull back a bit. You don't want to be so beat up that you dread doing it again. If you're just starting, it's okay to work your way up. Even if that means doing steady longer workouts to build up some minimal endurance first.

But you should definitely push yourself! It's only 15 mins because it's meant to be high intensity.

It gets better! But like others said make sure you’re not *too* exhausted to where you resent working out. You have to take it slowly and think about it as a long term commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Some days will be better than others regardless of your fitness level, but showing up for an “easy” workout is better than nothing at all!

HIIT is hard and stays hard because you can do things with more power and control as you get stronger. But that first day AHHHHHGHHH does go away — if you did the same workout for 7 days by the end of it you would really surprise yourself. Promise!

You got this! It definitely gets better. Like others have said though, if you feel burnt out or too exhausted one day, don’t hesitate to do an easier video, go on a walk, or whatever else feels good in that moment. It’s all about making movement a regular habit and sustainability

About 10 days ago I was exposed to someone who later tested positive for covid. I’m super careful normally. I got a rapid test 7 days after exposure and a PCR test 8 days after exposure and they both came back negative. Since about day 5 after exposure I’ve been SUPER tired though. I’ll drink a ton of coffee, way more than normal, and still feel exhausted. Then off and on I’ve been having stomach issues. Have any of you had this happen? I feel like I have to have it but the tests say no. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
