Hi,
I am 52 and 35 lbs over weight. I am limited to certain activity such as running, jumping etc., due to a weak bladder and other, wonderful, medical problems I will not get in too lol.
Most of us can walk. I have incorporated 45 minutes of walking and 30 minutes of floor exercises. It has only been a week but I have lost 5 lbs and my energy level is rising. In one more week I will up my walk to an hour and my floor exercise to 40 minutes. I know the key is remaining consistent.
I wish you the best on your journey. I for one am thankful we have this site. Good company.
