Eh I mean immediately jumping into 60 mins of running every single day is like the recipe for a TMTS injury. Doing a gradual progression is probably better. Assuming OP has safe streets to run and even likes running.

I agree that exercise can be great though. Something to do, endorphins, health benefits, something to track improvement in over time, and so on. Diving into it can be super super grounding in times like these, although I know how cliché it is to suggest and how disheartening and even condescending it can feel. Like “oh you aren’t happy in your capitalist hellscape? Have you tried taking on even more work? Have you considered that you just don’t have the right attitude or aren’t doing the right things to earn happiness?”

At least that’s how it always felt to me when I was in this darkness, and would hear people who were so much better off than me suggest such totally asinine things as taking up running or baking bread.

But these pursuits are actually the most potent act of rebellion you can take against this system that’s fucking us. It is NOT a coincidence that we get home from work feeling run down, like we’ve spun our wheels another day for nothing, like we need some type of release. That release is then sold to us for any amount of money we happen to have; maybe booze, maybe electronics, maybe junk food, you name it. These types of releases are not rejuvenating and you just string yourself along until you next clock in.

The leeches in power want you on this merry go round for the rest of your days. So screw them all.

Devote yourself to some physical hobby they can’t charge you for. Running is an all time classic, I endorse resistance training as well (check out Hybrid Calisthenics on youtube for great progressions you can do with no/minimal equipment if gym access is an issue).

I know it still sounds cringe lol. There’s really no convincing way to get the message across with words. Wishing you all the best OP
