"Clammy that's fucking gay I can do at least 10 pullups and 50 pushups."
Cool story, bro. Did you do any today? Yesterday?
If you do them every day, you're all set, you don't need this post.
If you haven't done any since last week, or last month, or last time there was a thread in here about doing them, then listen to this.
The working out might not be as hard as getting yourself to do it every day.
You know what's not hard? Flossing. I fucking hate flossing. It took some effort to get myself to floss every day. Flossing isn't difficult, making yourself floss is. The discipline of doing it every day might be what you actually need to work on.
1 pushup is BS. It's really, really hard to justify not doing even ONE pushup and ONE pullup. Do it literally every day. When you get overwhelmed by how dumb only one of each is, you're free to do more, but you are NEVER allowed to not do at least one.
I'm going to start doing this. Anybody else going to commit to at least ONE pullup and pushup every single day?
Or is that too big of a commitment for you?

About 3 years ago, I suffered a knee injury. Doctor told me I would be able to live a normal life without surgery, but if I wanted a complete recovery, I would need surgery. The surgery was risky, and since I'm young, he advised me to not do it.
Fast forward to 8 months ago, I was a fat fuck. Still am, actually. But I was tired of being fat, so I bought a stationary bike. That way, I could do some exercise, and try to regain the muscle I lost in my leg, due to said knee injury.
I also changed my eating habits. No more fast food, no more sugary drinks, among other things.
I decided I would start at 5km per day, and go from there. First day, couldn't even finish 3km. After a month, I was doing 10km per day.
But then I wanted more. Why not 15km? Sounds good. But my knee disagreed with me. Got some of the worst pain I've ever felt. After that day, I couldn't even get to 5km without feeling intense pain.
I stopped exercising and went back to being a fat fuck.
In hindsight, I probably pushed my knee too far too fast, and that's why it told me to fuck off.
Last week I said enough! I'll do 10 pushups, 10 situps, 1km in bike, 30 seconds plank, each day. I'll be slowly increasing the load on everything, probably 2~3 weeks intervals, and see how it goes.

I have a bad knee too. Multiple surgeries. First exercise advice: walk. Second, row. Third, deadlift. In that order as you are able.
