The Body Project helped me enjoy exercise

Sorry I don’t usually post on Reddit, just a normal lurker! But I thought posting about something that’s helped me lose ~10lbs would be helpful to some people. Something new I have tried to implement into my life is getting some type of movement into everyday. No matter if it’s a 30 minute walk, bike ride, etc. I always try to move in some type of way. When I noticed that moving everyday helped not only my physical health but also mental health, I decided I wanted to try working out again. I was initially intimidated by the idea of working out but I found this group on YouTube called the Body Project where they have 10-30 minute videos that focus on just moving your body. They have participants of the videos in all different sizes which also made me feel better about my own capability because news flash- working out is not just for those who are athletic! I always found it hard to follow workout videos of people who were obviously very physically fit and their programs were too intense for a beginner like me. The Body Project also have lower impact versions of most exercise moves for those who just starting out. The trainers really encourage you to take breaks when you need it and the trainer Daniel is especially so inspirational and supportive that it really helped me feel motivated. It’s a nice (and free) resource to get yourself started without feeling judged or incapable. Just thought I’d share in case someone else was feeling the same way I did initially. Good luck to everyone on their weight loss journey!
