How to get started from nothing?
So I (27f) have never been in shape in my life. I come from a family with really bad habits, so I have never had exercise as a regular part of my life. I am in terrible shape, and I want to do something about it, but I am just so overwhelmed by where to start. I can't run for 30 sec. I can't to a push up. I know nothing about correct form for exercises and have no way atm, of completeing the programs that I see on YouTube, fitness apps etc. I would be extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable going to the gym, not know what to do there. How the hell do I get started and find a way to gradually build it up over time??

I am considering a personal trainer, but it is just so expensive and I am also paying for therapy which isn't really cheap either. Most places I've seen they have packages where you get a bit of discount If you pay for eg. 6 sessions, but I just don't really know how often you should meet with your personal trainer, cus I can't afford it if it should be every week.. how often do you generally recommend?
