Pritikin Recipes

So heres the truth, I’m 23 years old in a few months.

Excersize, health wasnt a priority ever in my life. I only realized it should be when I realized that by it being absent my entire life, im kind of bordering health concerns.

at 20, I became really depressed, slept 15 hours a day, would’nt get out of bed for work.

There came a point where I couldnt even carry my own body wieght for a period of over 40 minutes.
Im note even fat. Im 5’6 and 115 pounds. Last year that changed when I took a trip out of the country excersized with my friends, (mostly outdoor running)…
and then I got depressed again and it all went down the toilet.

I am at a point where I KNOW if I dont change the way Im living, permanently Im going to mess my body up, now and for the future me.

I experience arthritis pains in my joints, my shoulders are turning inward because I’ve never excersized them. I dont want to look like this. I want to be physically fit and able to maintain myself.

I dont have a load of wealth and can’t afford a personal trainer. Im going to be going back to school and working in the evenings.

What can I do? I dont need to just jog, do squats, pushups, situps (Which I already do) I need to put on major muscle and to excersize a majority of my muscles.

Why wont I go to a gym. If I do are club members kind enough to help me understand how to use each machine?
Maybe I dont want to hear your answer. Is it easy?

I guess Im looking for a shortcut and thats mistake number 1.

i need help.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond.
I’m not depressed because of my health, but those things that caused it are slowly coming to an end, thank you for your concern.

I’m a vegetarian, i take a mens health vitamin beneficial to vegetarians.
These supportive answers make me feel brighter.
I can do it, I think I will follow the advice given to me by each of you.
I have an hour max per day to do any type of excersize.

I appreciate this, everyone. Thanks

My question again was about fit over 40 and there have been some great answers
