Finally getting fit after 10 years of being idle - advice please

[AssaTM]

Hi all, I have digested as much as I can from all the great threads, however, it is massively overwhelming! I've decided to use the lockdown productively and have decided to get fit again for the first time in at least 10 years. I'm 6'3 and 108KG, none of that is muscle I can assure you.

To start off with I decided cardio would make sense so i've been mixing light running and walking, slowly increasing distance and speed naturally as my fitness improves. However my end goal is to very much be in the lean/fit mould. I do not want to be bulky, nor am I trying to be a strongman. But a visibly "toned" (I hate that word but for lack of a better word) physique that shows me just how hard i'm working is my end goal.

Since we are in a lockdown are there any specific home exercises recommended? any with equipment? i'm happy to buy basic equipment that may help, as i've seen some amazing transformations from people that are literally just working out at home with no equipment whatsoever.

I feel pretty good about the diet as I can grasp that a lot more easily, but the actual workout routine leaves me scratching my head on lengths, reps, how often etc so any help would be greatly appreciated please.

Thank you

That sounds great, thank you! for both the correct word and the advice! haha.

I will get started on them and hopefully going from doing nothing to the PE Lesson/Running I will hopefully feel the positive influence on my body over time

Hi all, thank you so much for all of the advice, it really is greatly appreciated I am very much aware it's not a one week switch around and that it takes time, so i'm not getting ahead of myself at least i've been doing the walking/running and just started integrating push ups, i'll add in the resistance bands and other recommendations people have mentioned here, anything that helps can only be a good thing, thank you again
