DebbieC1970 58 Posted January 14, 2013 Carido at first, treadmill or elliptical and talk to a trainer about weight training. My PCP wants 45min 4-5 times a week. Build up to it, Ur body can do amazing things. Good luck! 1 jms413 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lapbandster 496 Posted January 18, 2013 I do the elliptical, i think thats the best way to start out After you build up some stamina and get stronger muscles try running on the treadmill. Of course do strength training too! Lift weights, do sit-ups, and use the calf press machine. Those are all fairly easy for a beginner And increase the weights and ammout of time steadily so you'll really build up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
