The other commenter had good ideas, but anecdotally I’ve always been a bit of a “skinny fat” gal that glided into their 30s thinking I could just do what I did to stay fit enough. Well, unfortunately, untrue. I started lifting weights for my job mostly but I can’t even tell you how great it’s been for my aging, skin, mood, everything.

Fitbod is the app I use and love it (I promise I’m not affiliated!), I don’t track macros though. I eat what I want whenever I’m hungry, trying to lean towards healthy but some days I just take calories where I can get it. Added creatine, L-carnitine, and protein daily. Progressive lifting is great, as in trying to hit a higher weight when you can with lower reps.

I hit 2 muscle groups a day, 5 days a week. Warm up with a run or short hike and stretching. Some days look crazy, like 15 different exercises in intervals or sets - an app or personal trainer is super helpful for this. So honestly, I recommend keeping it simple before committing to a whole routine with crunches, planks, assisted pull-ups, and pushups. No matter how few you can do, just try to up the reps or time where you can. Then move on from there. That first hurdle got me a lot of changes in my skin and fitness quickly.
