Hey guys,

I have been trying to implement a training routine for quite some years but I have been running through persistent problems. The thing is that whenever I go to the gym and do the basic cardio and some weightlifting (more or less 1 hour in total), I will systematically fall sick a couple days later. I have tried different patterns but the result is always the same. This happens during most of the year except for summer.

As a result, for years now, I have been piling up weight during the "winter season" and I do intensive gym exercises during the summer to lose all that I have gained. This yo-yo is certainly not good for my health, plus I will become 35 this year and I see that it's harder and harder to lose weight as before.

I know that the redpill is about lifting and stuff and I would be more than happy to follow a training routine but my body is not keeping up. I also had 2 surgeries last year and have been repeatedly falling sick over the past few months. I have already been sick 4 times since the beginning of the year. I take vitamins and stuff, they help for a short bit and then someone comes with the flu or some other virus, and I catch it instantly.

As a result, I have not been able to go to the gym at all for several months now...

I am kind desperate here and I do not know how to deal with this. Has anyone else been suffering from the same symptoms? I have even been considering cancelling my gym subscription and buy a cross trainer for home instead. At least I know, my home environment is cleaner that the gym.

Many thanks for any tips!
