Do or do not, there is no try. Literally: do something. Anything. Right now. Stand up and do two air squats. Don’t let the fear of not knowing the perfect answer get in the way of starting something right now.

Workout:

Exercise 1: wall press. Stand in front of a wall. Put hands on wall just below shoulder length. Bend your elbows (not at your waist) and let yourself get closer to the wall. Push back to standing. Do this ten times, rest for two minutes, and do it again but the second time do it until you can’t do any more.

Exercise 2: Air squat. Stand in front of a normal dining room chair. Sit down in the chair. Without using your hands. Stand up from the chair. Do this ten times. If you can’t do ten, do as many as you can. Rest standing up for two minutes. Do a second ‘set’ of these but instead of ten, do as many as you can consecutively (up to say 30).

Congratulations, you’ve done your first structured workout in a long time.
