I'm Too Out Of Shape To Exercise

[honk 780]

You are so not alone. At my heaviest I stopped walking to the cafe at work for lunch because it was wayyyyy on the other side of the facility. About 1/2 mile from my desk. I had a really really bad knee problem. I ended up going to a ortho surgeon only to be told I had to loose weight because there was nothing he could do because I was too young for a knee replacement (38). He told me to consider swimming.

I bought a fat lady swim dress, swim cap, snorkle (makes swimming easier), Water proof MP3 player and off I went to the pool. If I can walk out of the locker room at 366 pounds dressed like that in front of the high school swim team; ANYBODY can.

Swimming or Water aerobics are great for heavy people. Now 147 pounds lighter I am doing a 3 miles walk daily (sometimes longer); and going for hour of water aerobics in the evening.

As mentioned previously some of us are carrying around AN EXTRA PERSON. No wonder we are tired all the time.

After you get clearance from your Dr., you could also try one of those handbikes. You put it on the table & pedal with your arms or on the floor with your feet. I first saw them on Dr. Oz & saw them at Walmart for $30.
