Some context. Full time shift working nurse. I am a clinical site manager so visit every ward multiple times of day. I walk on average 12-15k steps per shift. I have a partial knee replacement on right secondary to a ju jitsu injury (fractured my distal femur during a sacrifice throw that went wrong). I’m an ex prop/hooker at 5 foot 8. I’m strong but very inflexible due to the arthritis in both my knees. I take naproxen daily (and gut protection) to manage the pain that is now chronic. I have paid for my gym membership which has 24 hour opening times for over a year and been twice. I just can’t get out of my own way…yes that’s ironic being fat. I know how much it will hurt, I know the DOMS that will occur…but I also know how proud I would be of mini achievements…but to now just get on with it. I don’t know anyone else that goes to this gym. So nearly 50, needing a buck up as I know being this weight at this age puts me right in heart attack alley…could do with some helpful individuals to steer me in the right direction. Call me a pussy if needed… I’m not weak willed I can just foresee the effort and pain required. submitted by /u/rotters_
