mikotondria3 some of your responses about orange men at the gym sound like me when I was out of shape, crazy depressed and unwilling to do much about it.
I got a weight set though. One of those cheapshit spinlock 110 lb ones. It shocked me how out of shape I was. I could always curl 40 lb even after not working out for years. And here I was barely able to hold a 40 lb dumbbell! No fucking wonder I was totally fucked.
Sitting on your ass all day staring at screen, going to grocery, work, and sleeping is like living as a sick patient in a hospital for YEARS. The real disease is lethargy.
So if you don't want to go to a gym, which is understandable in your fragile mental state, get some weight equipment at home. You can actually buy everything you should need for looking like a fitness model if you have 6x10 ft of space. Refer to http://forum.bodybuilding.com/fo… for equipment, http://startingstrength.com/ for how to work out effectively. For a full body workout you need a power rack, 3-400 lb of weight, and bench.
But with just a weight set you can get pretty far. Jefferson squats/deadlifts can hit legs well. You can bench on floor. You can throw down some 4" thick boards under you and the 17" diameter 45lb plates to get full bench range of motion on floor. You can get a trap bar, build a 4" platform for that and do a type of squat/deadlift.
The key to lifting depression with exercise is intensity. You need to put in an hour a day, work out so hard you pant for a few minutes. Work the whole body, don't just do what seems fun.
I wish I didn't buy a cheap spinlock set though. Wish I at least bought this http://www.ivankobarbell.com/pro… that company is like the Apple of weights.
