I’m so jealous. I have pots and now that I’m old, high intensity exercise is impossible. I bought a bike, if that doesn’t work out, I’m out of ideas. I have pretty severe depression and I long to feel that feeling every day.
Good news! Exercise helps against depression! Biking is a very good way to get moving if you have other health issues. I’d also look into swimming if you have access to a pool (or a lake or ocean where it’s safe to swim).
I have severe pots too. Might sound obvious, but try aiming for medium intensity like fast walking and compound exercises like beginner-intermediate calisthenics such as inverted rows.
If even that is too difficult there’s stuff like recumbent bicycles but those are expensive.
Oh, there are sooooo many types of exercises! Search and try things YouTube can offer. I sometimes do the smaaall morning routine- stretching neck, moving shoulders, waist, hips, knees and ankles. It takes like 5 mins, but feeling rest of the day like -15 years. It’s impossible to call them exercises, just a minimal movement. Like they did at school years ago before starting classes.
