This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean if you're this overweight, not sure if running is the right move. You'll just end up hurting your joints.

Exactly. My coworker is very overweight and they're trying to lose it, and they're explicitly avoiding running and focusing on walking for exactly this reason.

Even if you're not overweight, walk before you run so you can build up all the supporting muscles you'll need so you don't injure yourself.

Yeah I'd say you should probably try swimming or something instead. Unsure of any other activities that are easier for the body.

Cycling is a dream if you have the balance. You get to go fast which pleases my dumb monkey brain
