Joe Rogan gave the best advice I’ve heard for anyone out of shape who wants to get serious: Don’t try to make up for years of neglect in a few weeks.
Start stupidly light - 20 minutes, 5 push-ups, 5 squats, 5 sit-ups. Take breaks. Build slowly. Use the sauna and cold plunge for recovery. If you jump straight into what fit people do, you’ll wreck your body and quit.
Consistency beats intensity when you’re starting from zero.
Research on exercise progression (including the popular “10% rule”) shows that gradually increasing training volume by no more than 10% per week dramatically reduces injury risk in beginners and previously sedentary people, while still producing significant strength and fitness gains.
