Okay I'm 27M so I'm not old by any means and I have no long lasting health conditions other than my knee flaring up every now and then due to a motorcycle injury.

Anyways I walked past this old man's house on my way to work the other day and I glanced in his living room window where I noticed this poor dude had all these hoists and equipment in his room just so he could stand up and get changed and I'm assuming to take a shit too, I've also seen carers and nurses go into his house previously. I thought to myself, I really don't want to end up like that.

I'm not fit by any definition of the word so I'm dieting at the moment to lose weight and am going to look into implementing more exercise into my life mainly cardio based and once it gets warmer in going to cycle a lot more, especially in the new year.

Anyway from what I can gather, other than illness or injury, one of the reasons we get like that and become more immobile is due to not using those muscles. So I was thinking maybe yoga so I can stretch and use these muscles that aren't usually used on a daily basis so I don't become immobile and as an added bonus I could become more flexible. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on where to start Ideally stuff I am do at home and not have to go to the gym as I don't have one close enough to me and don't really have the time to travel. I'm not even sure if Yoga is the way to go it's just the first thing I thought of.
