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?

I second cycling. If you have the time for it, it's a great way to spend an early morning on a day off. It makes the surrounding area seem so accessible and interesting in a way that a car just doesn't.

For example, I like to go to our city pool sometimes on the weekend. It's about a 5 mile / 15 minute drive. On a bike it's only about 30 minutes, so timewise it still works out for me. But I enjoy the mental relaxation that cruising through the neighborhood to my destination brings.
