Look, I've been down this road with my own desk job grind, and let me tell you, all those fancy morning workout plans sound great until your alarm blares at 5 AM and you realize you're not a robot. I doubted it'd work from the start, especially with a commute like yours - by evening, you're probably wiped, but forcing a gym sesh then just leads to half-assed efforts and burnout. Tried both, and mornings gave me a brief energy buzz that fizzled by lunch, while evenings messed with my dinner and sleep, leaving me cranky. Sure, some folks swear by one or the other, but if money's tight and options are limited in your small town, don't buy into overcomplicated routines. they'll flop. Stick to basics or you'll end up like me, skeptical and back on the couch with excuses.

Yeah, the apps and fancy gels will not fix going too fast on day one. Use a free couch to 5k style plan or a kitchen timer, walk run, and sip water with a pinch of salt. If you are getting chest pain or nearly blacking out, doctor beats a subscription.

If you can follow conversations fine one on one but struggle when things get loud these might be worth trying. My FIL has mild hearing loss and has been using the Nova for some time. It will not restore hearing but it has made a big difference for him in noisy places. They also cost far less than traditional hearing aids.
