So i (f22) have never been an active person, im a uni student and I do pretty much 0 excercise per week and probably less than 5k steps on a bad week. I really want to commit to a gym routine to build up some functional strength and to properly get in shape but I find that I have such bad anxiety in the gym, I'm like a fish out of water whenever I go and it just feels impossible to get set into a routine.

My goals are to purely build muscle and toning as I am (thankfully) recovering from an ED, so my baseline weight is on the lower end, however I am in a position where due to a complete lack of any joint strength due to rapid uncontrolled weight loss coupled with hypermobility, I find it extremely difficult when I can manage to go to the gym to not overexert myself and leave my body destroyed for 2 weeks.

I really want to make this lifestyle change but I'm finding it so difficult to get started or go by myself without pestering one of my housemates to come along with me, so any tips or advice or anything would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, for a bit of context I am in my final year of my bachelors degree, and I've decided that I would love to go into teaching in some capacity. The idea of being a primary school teacher has always been appealing to me as I grew up looking after and teaching younger cousins and love working with kids. I am planning to apply to the Jet Programmes later this year to work in japan as an ALT for a year or two, to give me a break from Uni (which has been quite taxing) and to build up savings before coming back to complete a pgce and obtain my QTS before going into the workforce. so I am wondering what the state of schools are like currently as I have heard rather grim prospects from other posts and what the sort of pro's and cons would be of becoming a primary teacher
