Move - My Exercise
Exercise has always been a challenge for me, and to be honest I rarely did any. However, when I decided to start exercising, I fully commited and joined my local gym. I began researching which exercises would be most beneficial for me while minimising strain on my heart. mainly, I focused on assisted weight machines and swimming, while incorporating more walking into my routine outside of the gym. Below are a few of the machines I use on each visit. I will be looking to add a typical workout session on here shortly if you wanted to try it out. (Better pictures are incoming so keep checking in)
Swimming
Unfortunately, it might come off as a bit creepy for me to take photos in a swimming pool, and I doubt you'd want to see me in Speedos. However, swimming is an excellent full-body cardio workout that is gentle on the body. I usually aim for a one-hour session, during which I typically complete about 30 lengths. It's also a fantastic way to wrap up a gym workout.
Walking - Steps
I rarely walked because I found it painful. However, by gradually increasing my walking time and challenging myself to walk instead of driving or public transport, I improved my cardiovascular activity. This low impact exercise proved to be effective. The key was to prioritise as much as possible rather than fixating on a specific step count.

Leg Press
I find great pleasure in using the leg press machine, as it provides an excellent workout for my legs. I typically begin with a low weight and perform a continuous number of repetitions. Over time, I've gradually increased the weight. My goal is to complete 3 sets of 12 reps with a weight ranging from 30kg to 50kg, but feel free to adjust it to what feels comfortable for you.
Ab Crunches
This workout is performed on an assisted weight machine and is highly effective for targeting the abs. I've found it easy to start with lighter weights and gradually increase the resistance over time. I consistently complete 3 sets of 12 reps. I use this machine almost every session since core strength a primary focus for me.
Chest Fly
This exercise offers an excellent workout for both the chest and parts of the core. I've noticed some physical differences as a result. In all my workouts, I adjust the weight to enhance my routine while still challenging myself. For this particular exercise, I've been using a weight between 25-35kg, completing sets of 12 reps.
