This might be on the long side, but bear with me. I'm a 32 year old male with a LOT of weight to lose. I haven't gotten an accurate weighing in a long time, but I'm in excess of 400lbs, and around 6'3". Obviously I have a lot of work to do, and I'm running out of youth to have my body work with me. I own a fitness tracker (a fitbit versa) and I recently have started exercising using Ring Fit Adventure.
I've taken to exercising four to five times a week at around 45 minutes total. I manage a retail store as my job, and am on my feet for about 44 hours a week. The next step is managing my food intake, and continuing the habit of 'daily' exercise. I have a few questions regarding my situation though.
Owing to the fact that I'm so overweight, I can't do everything that others can do. RFA is a great tool, and I feel like I've made a lot of progress in just under the month that I've been using it, but I'm unsure of how far I should push myself. Many of the levels in the game require jogging in place, and the battles are fought using the resistance in the ring, and using body weight (standing squats, overhead bends, etc.). I can't overdue it and injure myself. I'm feeling really accomplished and I'm worried a setback would REALLY set me back.
So, the questions. Should I utilize Noom in addition to my fitness pal for calorie tracking? What should I look for as the 'sweet spot' of pushing myself while exercising? And on 'off days' should I do light cardio on a bike, or truly rest? Thanks so much for reading and giving me some insight. I really do appreciate any help from others that have done this same thing.
TL;DR I'm fat and trying not to be. Read the last paragraph
