I'm currently 22 years old and weigh around 195 pounds, I'm probably in the worst shape I've ever been. I've dealt with being overweight on and off because since I was young, I became accustomed to eating mostly junk food which also led to overeating. I was my skinniest probably in 7th grade since they made you run laps etc in gym. Now I'm not in school or with no job, I haven't had a workout in forever. I do briskly walk outside (not everyday) only for like 30 minutes, and I get kinda winded so that says it all.
I've been trying to eat less, but I still eat shitty. I'm going fully cold turkey today, just pure healthy food because I can't take the fatigue, the weight etc. I've been to a hospital recently (thought it was pneumonia I had at that time) everything checked out okay thankfully yet I know I'm still out of shape and need to change that asap. Though where do I even begin? Eating/calorie wise I know I need to make a deficit and I got that covered but how much exercise do I start off with?
I'm genuinely curious because earlier I started working out with some amazon workout video, a beginners thing that lasts 30 minutes. I literally only lasted maybe 15. I was seriously embarrassed because at one point I even ended up falling during some squatting exercise. I guess I'm not that used to squatting for that long like in a fast manner too. So how long would any of yall recommend I exercise for/what exercises should I do? I'm thinking definitely walking for 30 minutes twice a day, once at morning and then around evening. But besides that what else could I do? Also are there any workout or general fitness apps yall would recommend?
Any advice or input at all I'd really appreciate.
Edit: Thank you very much to those who have responded/are responding, didn't know if this was gonna get any traction, so I'm shook lol and also grateful.
