Hi IzzyRae, I struggle with the same thing. It makes it so much harder to find the motivation to exercise when suffering from depression. At least that’s what I find. What type of exercise are you looking at doing? And what can you do right now? For example, I enjoy walking. I can do a brisk walk for 45 minutes before getting too tired.

It totally depends on the exercise you're doing! Don't rush it over complicated exercises to burn out yourself if you aren't coming from a sports background. Are you going to the gym? If yes I recommend you doing the scalators (or stairmaster) and/or walking with short intervals of running if is the scaletor is too much to build up stamina.

If you are really out of shape, I would recommend looking into Joyn. It’s a free website with exercise videos designed for disabled/fat people. They have low and high impact exercises, as well as flexibility training. It could be a good way to build stamina!

Thank you all for the input! Last year, I changed my diet after being diagnosed as diabetic. I lost 50 pounds in 2021, and I’m at a standstill. I’m trying to incorporate some exercise to fit my new healthy lifestyle! I know weight is just a number, but with each pound I lose, I physically feel better!
