Hi everyone. I'm looking for something to help get me in better shape physically with my stamina/activity levels. I've been in crisis mode for so long it hasn't been on my plate, but I want to start thinking about goals in the future and being ready to enjoy them. One of my main upcoming goals is to go to Europe and I want to be able to comfortably walk and explore while I'm there.

I'm currently fat, but don't want to focus on weight loss as a goal. I find that very counterproductive and demotivating for me.

I was thinking about something like a couch-to-5k plan, but with the goal of just being able to hike and stuff without it being exhausting.

I have had limited success with biking on a trainer in my room while watching subtitled shows I have to really focus on, but I think I need to pair it with some kind of motivation/accountability and/or other activities. I'm super poor right now so I can't afford classes/gym/complicated equipment - though I've thought about trying to get an affordable second-hand treadmill or something to give me some variety.

My questions are these:

1. Does anyone know of any programs/communities that could be a good fit for both the ADHD and the desire to not focus on weight loss?
2. What tactics have you personally used to accomplish these goals?
3. Is there some structured program I can follow, like couch-to-5k, but that is a better fit for my goals?
4. I've found that keeping a focus on WHY I am doing a thing (e.g. being able to hike around easier) is really key to me making time for it. Do you have any good ideas/inspiration for how I might keep this goal front and center and remind myself of the future reward to help cope with the present debilitating tedium?

Any other helpful advice is welcome. I want to focus on exercise only, not diet - I'm happy there. Thank you in advance!
