Your physical health is everything, its number one. It's your responsibility to make sure you're in top physical form so you can be around as long as possible to protect those you love.

Your body is your most important prep and I find the most neglected by preppers. This prep must be earned, it cannot be purchased.

With a little bit of determination and effort by this time next year you could be a force to be reckoned with. You could look and feel great.

I believe in you, believe in yourself.

But I'm fat and self-conscious and live in a city so everywhere I go I will be seen being fat. Please help

Fat man is grey man. They'll never see you coming.

You don't need to go anywhere. I was a sedentary doomer before the pandemic, and since then I just used it as an excuse to not go anywhere and I only got fitter everyday.

Try some of those:

  • Jump rope, you can get real adult quality ones, with ball bearings, for under 30$. Try 5 minutes twice everyday, once you can do it without sweating, crank it up gradually to 15.

  • "Mini-stepper"/Mini-elliptical machines, ~100$ on amazon. Just make yourself sweat. https://www.amazon.com/Stamina-55-1602-Inmotion-Elliptical-Green/dp/B009N9PW1Q

  • Resistance bands. Full kits usually have handles and doop-stopper to mount them in any doorway. Under a 100$ you have something almost just as good as a 2000$ pulldown machine and it's a lot more portable and versatile. Have fun pulling in different direction, complement this with a weekly push-up session and you're gonna be fitter than 80% of the population.

  • Grip strength trainer. Grip strength is the most reliable indicator of overall health. Use this daily to know when you're dying.

Sadly I live in a second-floor apartment, so no jumping or loud stomping can happen. So definitely resistance exercises are doable, but cardio will have to wait I guess

Depending on how out of shape you are something as small as cutting out sugar/soda and walking every day can make a difference, enough to get the motivation wheel turning.

Stop making excuses, fatty. Mini-steppers are nearly silent, water rowers make a soothing water swooshing sound and you can step outside of your apartment to jump rope 5 minutes everyday without anyone ever seeing you.

take the wheels off your bike and make a wooden stand for 20 bucks.

In that scenario push ups, air squats, and crunches are your best friend. You can do a lot with the basics and cardio.
