Iām in the poorest physical condition of my life. I have neglected my health for over two years. Today I have decided to take my body back:
200 a day till 200k
No way I can do 200 pushups, but I will do 200 units of exercise per day as I work myself back into shape.
Today my goal will be 80 pushups and 120 crunches. I will mix in some walking/jogging this week and will count 1 mile as 1 unit. Might also explore 1 minute of planking as 1 unit.
Open to advice and emotional support. First 30 pushups are done

i would do 1 mile as something like 15-20 units. a mile of walking is definitely worth more than 1 body weight rep.
and maybe do 1 minute of planking as like 3-5 units.
you dont wanna under value them compared to a pushup and then not do them because pushups or crunches are easier.
if you have somewhere to do them, dips and pullups are both amazing. you might need some help for pullups, if no person, you can use a stool. and just barely push up with your legs.
same with calf raises and body weight squats.
you can add resistance bands or weights to any body weight excersize to make them harder as you improve or even just to make them equivalent in effort expended to each other.
Just finished up for the day. I did one set of twenty pushups and then four sets of fifteen at different points during the day and did two sets of sixty crunches. Definitely way harder to do the pushups! Anyway, onward. š«”

I neglected it for 15 years... if your brain is trained well you'll be back in shape as soon as you restart
