So, I'm really struggling. Covid completely wiped out my stamina. I used to do sports like volleyball and hachijojima daiko and go running 3x a week, but now I get winded after 2 flights of stairs. Because of that, I've put on a ton of weight in the last 3 years. Like almost 30kg.

I hate it. I want to feel better. I'm sick of things like being on my hands and knees being painful, you know?

I've tried asking doctors here for help but japanese doctors just say "lose weight", like, they won't even entertain the thought that I might be TRYING to but it doesn't just magically happen

I guess I need to just... not think about what I used to be able to do, and approach this like i'm literally starting from 0. Do you guys have suggestions for the lowest of low impact? Obviously "walking" is a big one, and I have been doing that! but it's almost winter in Hokkaido so unless I invest in snowshoes that won't be so easy soon...

reading this, my single piece of advice is for you to push yourself beyond what you are currently comfortable with or what you think you can presently handle, whatever method of getting back into shape you choose
