Pure Gym app
Couch to 5K app
The app gradually increases the duration of running with a mixture of walking with the aim to be able to complete a 5K over 9 weeks.

Workouts
Whatever you decide to do make sure you enjoy it. Change things up regularly to stop yourself getting bored. Listen to your body, warm up and cool down. I’ve listed a large number of exercises try picking a few to do. You could try doing each for 30 seconds, rest 10 and repeat 3 times or decide on a number of repetitions to do. If you are unsure of any of the exercises make sure you google them first as doing them incorrectly could cause injury. Most of these don’t require any equipment

Youtube Channels
My favourite youtube channels to exercise with. It works well to follow youtubers, because it makes you more motivated, however, it is important to remember that they exercise for a living and that you are not meant to be on their level, at least not to start off with. Do your best and as long as you keep going and are still able to have fun or at least enjoy it at least a little, then you’re going in the right direction.
