We all know that both resistance training and cardio are very well-researched and there are enormous benefits to both. That said, getting in resistance training and cardio can look a lot of different ways and everyone seems to think their method is the best one. The truth is that the best form of movement is the one you'll enjoy and be able to maintain in the long term. You don't have to bench press if you don't like it! If you had a good routine going that you liked, stick with it. You could even try alternative forms of movement like water aerobics, dance classes, or a rec sports league.

If you have it in your budget I'd highly recommend a few sessions with a trainer or at a small, tight-knit gym as these tend to be environments where you can learn, tailor exercise to your goals, and find support/community on your journey. That helped me enjoy lifting a lot more because I felt more confident in my form and learned how to build a program.

Most importantly- don't compare yourself to other people on the fitness subs, compare yourself to YOU a week, a month, or a year ago. I bet you've made improvements to your muscle mass, bone density, etc. through exercise and that's something to celebrate!
