Where to begin?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I’m 42M wondering where to begin. I’ve lost 100 lbs since Spring 2025 (thanks GLP-1 wonder drug!) and it’s time to start getting in shape and recomposing my body to the extent possible. Doctor’s orders.
I haven’t been to a gym since college and I simply don’t know where to begin. I’m not even sure I should be starting with a gym but part of me feels like I need some accountability. A lot of posts recommend starting with some sessions with a personal trainer, which I’m definitely open to. But more than anything I was hoping for advice from those that have started from a similar place on where to start. Gym? Resistance training? Both? Is there an app people like for workout routines? YouTube? Personal trainer? As you can see my mind is overwhelmed.
I have an hours intensive job and young kids, so finding time is going to be challenging, but something I simply have to overcome, primarily for said kids, my wife, and myself. Any guidance is welcome. Thank you all.
