Edit: I don’t drink alcohol, it’s just the best way to describe it. From comments I’ll be going on a low carb diet, thank you all.

Explanation: male, 38, 130 pounds. Skinny, low muscle mass but have a beer keg belly.

My day is 7am wake up. Get kids to school. Work until 5. Get kids from school. Cook, shower and then I’m exhausted AF.

I’m semi fit? I’m a mechanic professionally and spring til summer I mountain bike regularly. So my calves are monsters.

But would like… basic at home sit ups. Push ups etc like on a Saturday, would that help at all?

    Trying to do a set amount of exercise games in VR helped me get more fit. I’m not good at sticking with something but pretty great at playing the same sections of a video game telling me what movements to do everyday.

    Just having things to do/try as exercise everyday was more fun/rewarding for my brain… But I had to make sure they were exercise too.

    Then I’d do more as I got healthier, and eventually I attached weights to my wrists and legs.

    But if you’re a mechanic you might want to ease into it, because of your back.

    P.S also what everyone else said about diet is true… And both options, dietary changes and exercise will leave you feeling tired or lethargic until your body falls into line… So a lot of results come from mental discipline and committing to never missing a day or cheating yourself. Gotta hang in there and do your best to firgive and recover when you faulter.
