Exercise equipment recommendations

muddlingmywaythrough

Recently things have been getting on top of me and I think I have very mild depression. At this stage I do not want to go down the GP/possible medication route as it is not severe (I just feel quite low) and I just want to see how much I can help myself first.

I know one of the big remedies always suggested is exercise so I am going to give this a go. I do a lot of walking anyway and I am outside fairly often so I want to focus on 'proper exercising' to really build up a sweat (I'm not overweight or anything but neither am I the fittest so this probably won't take much!). I don't want to spend loads of (or ideally any!) money but would appreciate any suggestions for what type of exercises are best to do or any pieces of equipment that are most effective. I tried an exercise bike but got bored and found I didn't lose any weight. I have got a cross trainer which I found to be good at working up a sweat and have a fitness dvd and dumbbells

Yes sorry, I couldn't work out how to delete a thread 🤔

I wonder if a forum guide can join the two threads, and actually this is probably the better board than the other one.
