I'm just getting started with training after being trapped in a depression that never wants to GTFO. Super basic approach, get up. Drink water, eat a good breakfast, do some squats and push ups. Then I celebrate!
I try to avoid getting too sore as that would demotivate and make it harder to get the habit nailed.
I've been doing it for 22 days straight now, next month I'll join a gym and gently up the intensity.
Thanks for the relevant post for me right now! :-)
