Walking definitely improves my lower back pain and anxiety, but my right foot is an asshole and likes to swell up and hurt constantly no matter how nice of shoes I wear. Walking makes it worse but I do it anyway for the other benefits.

I had a similar problem... Swimming was good for me, until the "recurring ear infection" nation attacked.

It's always something. Human bodies a weirdly durable and fragile at the same time

Do you maybe have the ability to try other things too, like cycling, swimming or YouTube-guided yoga?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I've been meaning to try yoga, I guess I get intimidated because I'm not as flexible as I used to be. I know yoga is exactly what I need to fix that, but my stupid human brain thinks I'm going to hurt myself or something.

Thank you for the advice! I'll have to find some beginner yoga videos this weekend and see if I can't find something that works for me

Any recommendations for guided yoga? I've always wanted to try yoga for general health benefits but I worry that my form will be all wrong without an actual guide, and I have zero interest in the new-age/spiritual/religious shit

I've gotten most of my yoga instructions from Wii fit lmao. But there's a YouTuber that does workouts that I've liked, she seems to do yoga too https://m.youtube.com/@Heatherrobertsoncom/search?query=Yoga Rule of thumb is, if something hurts in your joints rather than in your muscles or tendons, you're doing it wrong. I think the injury risk for yoga is pretty low though.
