I've been using the Jillian Michaels app, but I'm still too heavy + out of shape for some of the exercises. Found this youtuber who has posted modifications for many exercises...its great to see a plus sized gal doing the movements.

This is amazing, Finally something useful after so long for beginners.

Tips to start a walking program if you are overweight: If you are absolutely new to exercise, start by walking for just 10 or 15 minutes each day. Gradually add time so that you work towards one full 30-minute session. Don't worry about speed or pace in the beginning. Make consistency your goal.

Thanks for the advice, guys! It's great to have it all in one spot. It's sometimes hard to search for good tutorials

Exercise regularly.

There are a few things to keep in mind when starting to exercise as an overweight beginner. First, start slow and gradually increase the intensity of your workouts. Additionally, focus on exercises that are easy on your joints and avoid high impact activities. Finally, be sure to stay hydrated and eat a healthy diet to support your workout routine. With these tips in mind, you can begin working towards your fitness goals in a safe and effective way.

Four whales of doing sports at home:
organization
Plan your workouts in your diary and stick to the plan. Leave the right amount of time for sports. Classes on the residual principle - when I do all the work, they will not lead to anything good. Leave time for rest - after sports loads, the body must recover.
Adequate loads
Do not turn yourself into a driven horse - adequately assess your level of training and do not drive your body with planks and multiple sets (approaches). The first training should take place at a moderate pace, with a gradual increase in intensity. This will allow the body to adapt to the stress.
Too hard intense workouts instead of promoting health, on the contrary, weaken the immune system. And this is the path to fatigue, frustration and refusal to train.

Remember, fitness is health, joy and pleasure. You will feel it yourself when you are euphoric after the next workout.

Regularity
It is important not to interrupt classes. It is easy to lose fitness, but it is more difficult to restore it.
Already 10 days after the cessation of training, aerobic performance worsens - the body's ability to absorb, transport and use oxygen during exercise decreases. Gradually, muscle mass is lost.

The metabolic response changes. During the period of physical activity, fat is used as energy (the body's response to fat oxidation increases). The cessation of exercise leads to the fact that the body begins to use carbohydrates as fuel, and the breakdown of stored fat decreases.

And if you get sick, overtrained?
In this case, skipping classes is not only possible, but necessary.

Proper nutrition and drinking regimen
Stick to the right diet.
Your diet should include:

proteins - protect muscles from destruction during exercise, restore damaged tissues and promote the growth of muscle fibers;
"healthy" fats - increase endurance, speed up metabolism;
complex carbohydrates - a source of energy, fuel for the body.
