When you’re severely depressed, exercise seems impossible. You need help to get to the point where you can start really exercising, but try to walk until then
Yes. Once when i was fat the only exercise I did was pace up and down my lounge room. I wasnt leaving the house much at that time. I did lose weight (lived off pizza mostly) and eventually things got better. For a while.
I would like to point out that we also shouldn’t judge people who are too depressed to even get started with a walking routine. If they need therapy, if they need medication, if they need encouragement from friends or family–we should try to be supportive.
Walking around the block can seem like climbing a mountain to someone in the depths of depression.

Does pacing count as walking?

At least you saw that it can work. Thanks for sharing.
