There are many videos on Youtube with different workouts with varying levels of difficulty. From what I've been told, Tai Chi isn't quite the way to go, though. It should be something really exerting, like lifting weights etc. Exercise yoga seems to be one way to go.
I got the barbell workout I use now from some random guy on youtube. Its really effective.
Since I am now considered to be 'cured' I no longer receive a gym card almost for free. I don't think a gym membership is worth the money, so I bought equipment. I have a barbell, some weights and a couple of dumbells. It cost about 80 euro, and it lasts practically for ever. Its all you need, really.
Quote:I can't agree more about having a goal, either. It's still uncertain whether or not I will be able to achieve mine or not, but I'm pursuing going back to school and eventually working again, and it does a lot to keep my priorities in focus so that those mornings when I "just don't feel like it," I can force myself to do those things that I know I need to do to keep it together.
Again, thank you for an excellent post, Sven.
I suggest you pick a goal that is something fun to look forward to, and that you are certain that you can attain if you work hard enough. Its best to have only one goal at a time. To me, school and work are too much 'musts' to qualify as good goals -- in this context, at least.
For example, I just booked a trip to Prague this summer.
I've been told that trying to give people direct advice like this isn't always the best thing to do, but in this case I just couldn't help myself. I hope you know I mean well!
