Exercise

MsMocie, you provide a lot of detailed information. But I do wonder where you are getting this. Some doesn’t seem to make sense, such as your opinion that a person cannot lose weight through cardiovascular exercise. Technically if it uses calories and increases metabolism, that is a use of energy or calories. Isn’t it? What are your qualifications and training?

For the first 8 months or so I just walked. Over the last 2.5 months I've started adding in exercise video's in addition to the walking. I really hate the monotony of treadmill or other traditional cardio exercise. I've always liked weight training, buy gyms are still closed and I am trying to find programs that provide multiple benefits. The video's have been a good solution for me.

I did some low impact aerobics at first (bad knees), and just started the Piyo program. I am trying to focus more on strength and flexibility right now and it seems to be helping there. Even my knees are feeling more flexible although I'll likely never have full range of motion. As I build those two I'll look to layer in some HIIT to rev my metabolism more. I also love to hike which is good for building endurance.
