I’ve been thinking of just walking around tracks or trails but the weather over here has been cool with the wind and all. I don’t like gyms too much as there can be a lot of people there. I’ve gotten so lazy and uninterested in exercising since Covid. I eat healthy mostly except for ice cream most of the week. Haven’t worked in like a year so stay home a lot and bored af. Idk I just haven’t been myself since getting overweight and not exercising in some capacity. I have anxiety and depression as well so that factors in too. I only get motivated to make some changes when I get high at night and say I’m going to start doing things tomorrow. Once I’m sober I lack the motivation to do anything

    I think you should actually go to the gym. I understand you dont like it, but when I started doing gym for strength exercise, it was completely different than i though it would be.

    I went with a friend who showed me what exercises to do, and we worked out together first times. Then I just started going myself. I can tell you, after 2 months, you will see your body looking visibly better, which means you get motivated to keep working out.

    Also its only hard the first weeks (at least for lifting weights, not cardio which i hate myself also and just dont do).

    About motivation, I believe you need to understand the enormous value of doing something you dont want. Being able to mentally break through that feeling of not wanting to, makes you strong. You should try it.
