I recommend highly conscious and aware physical fitness, which is to say doing the exercises with full internal awareness of all that’s going on subjectively in your world while performing the exercises.
If you can only do one thing, let it be running. Land on the bowls of your feet while wearing zero offset running shoes (web search “zero offset running shoes”), heels ever so slightly off the ground. Never heel-stomp during running. Relax deeply. Let the belly drop naturally. Consciously slow down your breathing and try to breathe as slowly as possible while running. While running attempt to enter a state similar to sleeping without actually losing awareness. So this here is work for both the body and the mind. Adjust your pace to make running pleasurable and slightly challenging in order to habituate your relationship to running as something you enjoy doing and something you look forward to. Get plenty of recuperation time, don’t run non-stop, take breaks and let the body and mind recover. If you’re older the breaks have to be longer too.
Then if you have more time and energy I recommend body weight exercises including pullups.
If you still have energy left, run with the kettlebells.
This is “born to run” by Christopher McDougall running theory right? My knees are kinda bad now so I get most of my aerobic exercise from bicycles now. I should probably find some grass or dirt to run in.
I need to set up a pull bar.
I usually clean and press kettlebells when I’m watching YouTube trash.
Are battle maces worth it? I kinda think just beating a sledgehammer hammer into the ground would be an equivalent range of motion.

First I hear of this McDougall. I learned everything I typed on my own, painfully, by running in all the wrong ways first. That’s why I was about 42 when I learned how to run.
That said, if McDougall says the same things I say, great! No one should suffer injuries from heel stomping like I had. No one should go through the same hell as I. No one should have to cough up blood from their lungs due to overly rapid breathing, like I had. No one should believe the rate or breathing is a fixed and inborn quality. Instead everyone should know that the rate of breathing is a trainable quality. And the rate of breathing depends on the calmness of one’s deep mind. The calmer the mind, the slower the breathing can be. Hence why I advised to enter a sleep-like state.
I also combined running with meditation and psychoenergetic training (I learned psychoenergetics from Nanci Trivellato and Robert Bruce). That’s basically it in a nutshell.
