Am I A Rebel Or Just Plain Stupid?

UPDATE:

I cleared off the treadmill and it still works! First hurdle overcome. Then I actually got on it and walked for 45 minutes. I was only in the warm up mode but it seemed like a good walk and at a steady pace. I plan on trying to do another hour tonight. It's a start!!! I WILL use it daily as it is right in my bedroom and it is a huge eyesore so it will be difficult to ignore.

I am hoping that it will be the start of my exercise programme and that I will add to it with other forms of exercise. Still trying to decide if I should join a gym. But I will take step one in that regard and go check one out tomorrow. I liked Curves in Canada but here it is run by a man who sits in the middle of the action (it is a women's only gym) and does not have up to date equipment so I paid for one year of membership and went only twice. Guess I don't want to waste any more money. Thanks again for inspiring me to get started.

The one thing I think I can add is don't over do it. Start slowly, especially at the beginning. Injuries will set you back and make you want to give up. A couple of miles walking at a time will soon become three miles and so on. And allow for at least 2 days a week off, one of them a weekend day if you can. In the beginning, it may be every other day or so until your muscles get use to this. I hated exercise and just started to do it because I had goals and dates on what I wanted to lose by a certain date. Eventually, it became something I couldn't do without (my wife says I've become addicted, but she loves the results). I get a rush and it makes me feel great.
