Reply to comment by DEN0MINAT0R in Exercise linked with increased longevity. Compared with just two minutes of vigorous activity per week, 15 minutes was associated with an 18% lower risk of death and a 15% lower likelihood of cardiovascular disease, while 12 minutes was associated with a 17% reduced risk of cancer by Wagamaga

Thanks for the advice, but I feel worse after pretty much any level of exertion. I've mostly been walking 30-45 minutes most days for the past few months which doesn't seem that intense. But I'm exhausted and useless for the rest of the day once I've done that.

Hmm, yeah in that case you’re probably best off talking to a fitness or health professional, who can give more personalized guidance. Sorry my unsolicited internet advice wasn’t helpful.

Have you tried indoor rock climbing? It's a great work out and really fun

That doesn't seem like a good match for me - I don't have much upper body strength and I hate heights. I know people who like to rock climb but I never saw the appeal tbh.

I'm struggling to walk on a regular basis, harder workouts seem like they would be worse.
