Real talk, a good workout 5 days a week will have a noticable impact on your body by the 30 day mark.
I went from literally struggling to lift 50 lbs to being able to do my first full pullup of my life (and immediately after I did a second one to make sure the first one wasn’t a fluke) with just 1 month of daily exercise. I also started to feel noticably healthier and felt my body start asking for healthier foods. It actually got kinda finny one time I heated up a steamer bag of veggies because I just wanted a big plate of veggies, then my mouth was going “eww I still hate cauliflower” while my stomach was going “YES GIVE ME THE CAULIFLOWER”
I was following this guide which was extremely helpful in that it explained the terminology, provided different levels for each excercise so you start with what you can do rather than fighting a pushup or pullup that you can’t do, and provides clear points where you “level up” and can move up to the next level for the excercise. Nice part is, it’s all pushups and leg raises and such, so you just need a patch of floor somewhere to do it
Anyways my tired brain isn’t making a fully coherent post, but point is, more people should try excercise because it’s really cool!
I’m at exactly one month in of following hybrid calisthenics and am experiencing the exact same thing. After almost 175lbs of weight loss and now exercising regularly, I have tons more energy both physically/mentally and for the first time in my life look forward to just doing something to get my body moving. Being able to adjust the exercises for difficulty has been a game changer.

True. Also: starting to train had a massive positive impact on my psychological health. I feel so much better now than before.
Training also teaches you discipline. You can’t train if you don’t have the mental strength to regularly force yourself to do it.
The only thing that you’ll have to come over is the constant muscle soreness you’ll have.

Hey good job on the weight loss! I can only imagine how much of a journey that must’ve been
Thank you! I’ve still got about 50lbs left to lose but we’re in the home stretch now after about 3 years. Slow and steady wins the race 💪😤
