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.

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.

I've been exercising more than that now but I didn't for years. I detest exercising. I dread my workouts. I'm fatigued and sore afterwards. It is really hard to make myself do something I hate all the time.

Unless it gets better at some point I don't know if I'll manage to stick to it. I know it is good for me but I'm not sure it is worth the torture.
