I really want to get back into shape, but not become a gym bro. What’s an achievable way for me to actually improve my fitness level?
It’s great that you want to get into better shape without going overboard. The key here is consistency and finding something you genuinely enjoy. Don’t aim for perfection, aim for progress. Start small: maybe a brisk 15-minute walk a few times a week, or try a sport you used to like. The evidence shows that even moderate activity has huge benefits for both physical and mental health. The important thing is to make it a regular part of your life, not just a temporary fix. Think about what fits into your day and what you find fun.
