hi, quick rundown about me:
- i work in healthcare. used to be day but now on nights. 12 hour shifts with a two days on two days off schedule. on days, i walked 25-28k steps a day. on nights it's 5k or less.
- im super inflexible it's crazy, this is something id like to prioritize BUT while also building strength, if possible.
- i am on medication that makes me hella dehydrated, but i struggle with thirst and knowin or remindin myself to drink.
- i do have a smartwatch, so certain health data is available to me.
- i do have 24/7 access to a small gym with only a couple of machines and swimming pools.
- i own: dumbbells, a yoga mat, 3 levels of resistance bands, and a foam roller. i also have recovery stuff like tens units, feet soak, heating pad, massage gun... if any of that matters.
- i am freaking smooth brain and uneducated. assume i know ANYTHING about anything and you will be gravely disappointed. but i am wanting to understand better why x does y and gets z result so any and all info is helpful.

@Blackpillirony and @TonyDr might have some good recommendations, but for me I would recommend working on becoming more flexible. It wouldn't help you build muscle directly, but it would allow you to do proper form with the weights/etc and reduce injury.
