I think it heavily depends on the individual. Personally I've gone from nearly sedentary to running ~35 miles per week (and lost ~15 lbs in the process).

- pferde 6y agoWhile it's an amazing progress, make sure not to overdo it. Muscles get used to increased stress quickly, but joints (especially knees) and tendons not so much - and those also heal much slower after a stress-induced injury.
- 112012123 6y agoA really good point! I'd run a bit in the past - though not to this extent - and it's amazing the degree to which injury management becomes a part of running. I'm definitely an amateur compared to most people, but I've already learned so much about random human anatomy each time something breaks...
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoI've gone from walking 80minutes/day and doing 16-8 'fasting' to eating comfort foods and barely leaving the house. Principally for me I was able to use getting to work as a motivator to exercise (and everything else fell in to place to some extent); now work is in the bedroom. It's a problem principally of depression/lack of motivation; but one that I was managing prior to lockdown. Experiences are so varied across the board. It wouldn't surprise me if overall people, like me, were worse off in general health terms.
