this is just me but i tend to start at the smallest step, like doing simple stretching to start off on the path to exercise. though i'd also like to see some other answers bc i'm feeling the same

I’m the same way, it’s really hard to motivate myself, but sometimes if I just decide to do it and just don’t think about it or anything about it (just kinda dive in without thinking about what it’s gonna be like) then it’s easier

It’s really hard to find a happy medium of building muscle to help our condition and not doing too much that we are in pain for days afterwards.

try seeing a physical therapist! they generally know how to deal with injury/pain and can help you push yourself in a healthy way without overdoing it

What kind of pain do you feel? Constant low back pain?

Yeah it's constant lower back pain :(

I have the same problem and I struggle with motivation to start most of the time. I would suggest trying to listen to your favorite music or get a friend to exercise with you. Those seem to help me a lot so maybe they could help you too! 🙂

And for the pain, I feel that too. I just tend to work through it and I think exercising and losing weight can help with the pain too but I'm not completely sure. It's never too late though!
