What are some good exercises for a new carnivore? I usually walk, and I’ve also tried dumbbells (15lbs), but then I got cramping and a headache lol! Suggestions please!
For context, I’m a 30 something mom, who used to exercise a lot before kids. Now I’m pretty sedentary [emoji51]

Hi everyone! My name is Mikenna, and I’m one month in. I’m a mom of two kids, have epilepsy for most of my life, and thanks to the SAD, I’ve also felt horrible most of my life! Haha I’m feeling really great on Carnivore, and plan to stay with it (which is a big deal for me!) I usually get bored quickly, but this is different. Glad to be here!!

Wow! I had no idea. I have been feeling better in that aspect as well. I don’t feel like I’m about to have a seizure hardly, if at all

Thanks! Tomorrow is officially 1 month!

One of the first things I discovered about carnivore and another reason why I love it is that it doesn’t require exercise to work. In a world where every health advocate preaches exercise as being mandatory for weight loss, carnivore rails against the norm and wins.
One of the wonderful benefits of carnivore though is that it makes you want to be more active. As you heal you feel better and have more energy and in my case a renewed commitment to improving my health in every way.
I was so wracked with pain and malnourished that I couldn’t do much and so initially I didn’t do any kind of exercise but the healing continued and the weight fell off. To me this dispels the notion that exercise is essential to weight loss. But as I healed and my energy increased I just couldn’t help myself, I had to exercise. It just felt good. I used to be a gym rat but my failing heath made me stop and exercise was doing nothing to help me because it was all diet related.
Here in a little bit I’ll finish up my morning chores and then I’ll go for a three mile walk. Not that I need to but because I want to.
I think that a brisk walk is the absolute best exercise you can do for yourself. Sprinting, if you can do it which I can’t, would be next and straining your muscles by lifting weights or using rubber bands (which is what I use) is next.
None of it has to be intense unless there’s a goal your trying to achieve. I’m trying to strengthen my shoulders so I did some shoulder workouts yesterday that have me sore today. My goal is to get over a hurt shoulder (rotator cuff) and see if I can get strong enough to pull my bow for next deer season.
It doesn’t matter if you do exercise but it is good for you and will make you feel better and it doesn’t matter what exercise you do just as long as your moving.

It's probably more of a matter of getting back into the habit, the swing of things.
I walk a decent amount, participating in the local hiking sprees or even just walking the dog. I try to sprint when I can. I also use dumbbells and do push-ups and crunches. I recently bought a treadmill but I haven't set it up yet, but I want to get my heart a-thumpin' more.
I really want to get a weighted vest and go rucking (basically means walking wearing weights).
