Greetings, comrades. So to cut the story short, my physical state is absolute junk and it’s about time to do something about it. I am overweight and lose breath after going up s flight or two of stairs, my back hurts almost daily and lifting things heavier than a backpack is stating to feel hard. All the doctors say I require exercise to resolve most issues. However, due to long commute and a few other issues, I can’t really visit gym on a regular basis (plus it’s not cheap). So what can I do from home to stop being a useless blob of blubber? For reference, I have a set of dumbbells, but using them hurts tendons in my arms more than it seems to affect the muscles.

I am seeking advice from the comrades

    First of all, I am not a medical professional of any kind.

    That being said, it’s difficult to gauge this without some idea of your diet. All the exercise in the world won’t do much in isolation of a proper diet, one which is low in empty carbs and sodium, and high in protein and essential vitamins and minerals.
