    I lost 30lbs and doubled my muscle mass by doing a gentle calisthenics routine to failure every night while watching the whole series for King of the Hill. I found it kept me busy enough to not notice how much I hated exercise but it wasn’t distracting enough to need to stop and watch.

        20 pushups, 20 crunches, 20 squats, 20 good morning’s, 30-60 second plank, 30 second deep breathing stretch. Repeat this routine until you can’t keep proper form then stop for the day. Takes maybe 15min to do 4 reps

          I greatly appreciate your comments and clarification, and I don’t mean this in a rude way but… that’s not gentle for most of us 😅

            That’s perfectly cool, I started this whole working at a pretty lift heavy job so I had already had some muscles to work with. Do the same rotation, just do 5 each. When of feels like it’s easy, step it up.

            I’m a lifetime noodle armed gamer, if I can pull this off, you can. I believe in you.
