I started doing light exercises throughout the day, just to get used to actually move, without them being so heavy that I eventually give up. What exercises should I do to hit all muscles? I've been doing push-ups and squats. Is that a good idea or should I replace them with something else?
Just keep going. I used to be like you, but shit changes fast. It gets better, and what you used to call a workout won't even be a viable warm up in a month or so. Squats and push ups are great for a start. Do sit ups too and doorway rows for your back, so you don't fuck up your posture by having a weak back.

buy an ab wheel and do a very light set of 3 reps when you wake up and go to bed.
core/lower back will help you the most
Robert Harris
Nice, never even heard of doorway rows before. I do have a bad posture so I definitely need stuff like this. Thank you very much.
Zachary Lopez
start drinking shit tons of water and eating. don't get hung up on macros, counting calories etc. shoot for 1g/protein per lb of for your desired weight.
Thomas Bailey
Have you heard of our lord and savior, Dr. Mike Mew? Glue your whole tongue to the roof of your mouth and you literally won't even be able to breathe without good posture. It's a great and simple way to both check that your posture is good and remind yourself to keep it good.
Asher King
Unfortunately I'm very poor, but I think my father has something like it. It's spring-loaded and once you push it forward it pushes back. Is that ok?
I'm going to start light with low-rep single sets for now to get used to physical activity, but I'll keep this in mind when I get more serious, thank you.
I have actually, and it still blocks my airways with the straightest posture I can reach, so I just push the tongue slightly forward to open a small passage. I've been doing it occasionally (whenever I remember) for a few years and my face has gotten visibly better developed since, but I don't know if it's because of mewing or just because I grew up.
Joseph Cox
just do planks then
Sebastian Hughes
Found it. Looks exactly like this. Tried it but couldn't even do one rep. Maybe in the future.
you dont need to do 1 rep. just keep the thing under your head and start straitening your back until it becomes to taxing, ab wheels can be done for 1/6th reps until you improve to full reps
Justin Bell
Pull your shoulders back when you can't get your head any higher. When you can't pull your shoulders back, see if tilting your whole ribcage back helps. Being able to hold a full mew at all times is the easiest way to keep your posture good in my opinion. Especially when it becomes subconscious.
I'm trying but I don't see any difference. It's equally blocked regardless of posture.
John Ward
You got a sunken chest?
Josiah Powell
get moar sunlight OP, open up the blinds.
Austin Peterson
Very slightly, but it's barely noticeable. Why?
Lincoln Kelly
I do try to get as much as possible, but yeah, it's probably not enough.
Joseph Wilson
I do too, and fixing my posture seemed to do wonders for it. I couldn't find anything to support that better posture and muscles around around the ribcage should be able to fix it. It undoubtedly did something for me, and everyone I know who has it used to be sedentary in puberty, so I'm gathering evidence to see if I should hold on to that idea or I'm just a freak case. Try tightening your core as hard as you can, push your chest forward and pull your shoulders back as far as your can. Do your ribs and the area where your ribs connect to your sternum hurt?

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind.
>Try tightening your core as hard as you can, push your chest forward and pull your shoulders back as far as your can. Do your ribs and the area where your ribs connect to your sternum hurt? No, but I feel it pulling. I'm also a bit barrel chested if that has anything to do with it.
Didn't really hurt when I did it until I got a bit stronger, too. I'm counting that as a minor victory. Being barrel chested fits with my guess. If one side is worse than the other, try sleeping on the other side in the same position you usually sleep, even if it's uncomfortable. That's should also make a noticeable difference after a small number of nights, like 2-3. I feel like a real internet doctor now.
Ryder Roberts
no, just do your rep until that position then go back. but do it on your fucking knees not standing
Adrian Johnson
I don't have a side I usually sleep on. I think I alternate pretty equally. Looking forward to getting stronger and testing your theory. Thanks Internet Doc.
Got it. That's much more manageable, thank you very much.
Brayden Brooks
keep it manageable and after you get used to it in a week or 2 try to make the wheel go a bit beyond your head after you have straitened your back. keep going until full kneeling ab wheel
Kevin Ward
Alright, thank you very much.
Samuel Walker
OP here again. I have weak wrists so I do my pushups on my knuckles. Should I stop?
Lincoln Young
I've never met a man who does push ups on his knuckles because it's easier. You should do wrist work, but I don't know what that would be with these exercises. Pull ups with a strong grip are great forearm and wrist work, so maybe the doorway rows. You shouldn't do things that outright hurt, but maybe work your way up from push ups on your knees. Do them when you're done with the knuckle ones, I guess, just make sure you save some energy for them.
Brody Hill
>I've never met a man who does push ups on his knuckles because it's easier I do it because it's harder (even if not by much), so I get to reinforce my wrists while doing pushups.

Sebastian Butler
Oh, ok. That makes sense, then. Disregard the push up on knees part, then, just do them on your knuckles until it's too much, then change to a normal position for the rest if you can still do more. If you're doing very few, do extra on your knees when you can't do normal ones anymore.
Aiden Hill
I think I'm gonna do it this way, thank you very much.
