I'm restarting after gaining back from a big loss that finished at the beginning of last year. Last time I did lots of walking and then bicycling. I'm struggling a bit getting more active this time. I think my biggest problem is that I want to go at the same level that I was going when I stopped and I need to slow down a bit and build back up to that.

What are you doing to get more active? Any exercise programs, youtube workouts, or other resources you've use that you enjoyed? Are there any exercise or active hobby lemmy communities that would pair well with this community?

Running. AFAIK the most efficient way to burn calories. Doctor put me on the scale a few months ago and I was like "ohhhhh. Yeah that makes a lot of sense". So I've been running, trying to do 3x 10+km runs a week.

Going on a fast one tonight - going to try and beat my last pace. When I'm going for it I've been hitting around 4:50/km but I'm trying to get it closer to 4:30/km.

(Also, I stopped all treats except stove-cooked popcorn.)

Anyways I'm already down a belt loop!
