Not enough!

I need a good regimen to take me from couch potato to mildly active, and go from there.

exercise, like smoking cigarettes or eating a plant based diet....no good for you.

Remember
No exercise (especially biking), inhaling anything, or eating red meat.

Realistically
Smoke while jogging on your way to grab something healthy

Best program I know of:

8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Shed Up to 2 Pounds a Week -- Guaranteed by Jorge Cruise

There are several books with similar titles from the same author. This (with the exact title listed above) is his first one and his the best.

I used it, and recommend it.

I have been looking at one of my biceps and can not believe how large it has gotten. It is larger then it ever has been and I can not attribute it to any one thing. I have been working about 80 hours a week but that should not make it large because I am not lifting anything of major weight.

Muscle conditioning can be optimized for power or for volume. Heavy loads with fewer and slower repetitions favor power development; lighter loads with more and faster repetitions favor volume development. This might be an explanation.

Why not try falling from the couch to the floor?

That is an exercise..... trying to get off the floor back on to the couch! LOL!

I do 4 resistance, 2-3 cardio (running) plus daily yoga. I plan 1 to 2 days of rest but like to do a challenge every week. For me it works to do resistance and cardio as “one” workout.

I try to do it at least 3 times a week. It was difficult in quarantine because I was used to weight training. But closer to autumn, I bought some sports equipment, but recently I became generous and ordered a Marcy Smith Cage Workout Machine. I think now training will go faster and more vigorously.

i got a couple of 10 pound weights and a staircase from my garage to my living room, i lift the weights as i go up and down the stairs. but then i also have sugar cereal and a spoon.

caramel creamer tastes too good by the way especially the oat milk one. i could put little cups of it at the top and bottom of the stairs to motivate me but that would be self defeating i guess.

will power is everything i think. getting good habits. i think it's ok to be bad sometimes (lay around, eat sweets) as long as we also exercise and eat vegetables. i personally hate vegetables (unless smothered in salad dressing or something) so what i do, what works for me, is i just blend up a bunch of vegi's in the blender everyday and chug it. keeps the tasting down to under a minute.
