    Hello,

    Has anyone advice on bringing fitness levels up, starting at literally zero? I'm losing weight and can currently do 3km in 10 mins on the bike, 4 if I really really push. I can't run, I have issues with my hips so I can't really do couch to 5k. Any advice for getting fit? :(

    what would you like from your fitness? Capacity to deal with having your heart rate elevated or some basic strength/muscle tone combined with good mobility to stay injury free? it sounds like your could be biasing things more towards the former and less on the latter

    You need to put a proper training program in place so where it’s a 50/50 split of structured weight/body weight training and your cycling all ntefrated with mobility work

    Consistency is important.

    The most important thing is that you do something regularly. I wont tell you what something is as you are just starting out so something so basically anything works but it has to be done on a consistant basis.

    If you roll out of bed and 10 push ups 10 squats 10 minutes on the bike 10 push ups 10 squats.

    It will be a major start.
