At 280 pounds without being able to do much walking in the winter between sidewalk conditions and so dark so early I am kinda lost for exercise. I do have a set of 2 pound hand weights and could definately get a aerobics step but would prefer to not spend a fortune on equiptment. Anyone know of a fairly simple dvd for those who are not so coordinated and not ready for something killer hard?

Walk away the pounds dvd is a good one if you are just starting out. Also the biggest loser dvds are great. Lok on craigslist and amazon for used copies. Also check out your local library dvd section.

I would recommend getting a 5, 8 & 10 lb hand weights too...2 lbs is not going to be enough very soon!
