buying multiple exercise dvd's and not doing a single one of them. Boy, do I need energy and motivation!
start slow.. the energy will come. Start at 5-10 minutes what ever you can do and then increase a bit every day. You will find you respond quickly. When I started at the gym I could not do 3 minutes on the elliptical. Now I have fantastic endurance. Find something you like to do. I started yoga and while I can not say I am good at it, I do love it. Slowly my flexibility is improving. When I had my surgery I could not walk to my mail box without thinking I was going to die! Getting out of the sofa was a strain on my knees. Now I am at the gym 5-6 days a week and loving it. If you had told me that back in August I would have laughed myself silly!! Good luck, honestly if I can do it any one can!!

thanks DIane! I walked for 19 minutes on the treadmill this evening and did 4 squats with the perfect pull-up bar.

I am proud of you!!!!!! Now remember tomorrow just tell your self you are going to move your body again! By the way I can not do a pull up or push up to save my life! I gave up on the pull up and keep trying to do the push up but my upper body strength still stinks! I will keep plugging if you do too!!!:drool:

Maybe exercise DVDs aren't the right exercise for you. I find them pretty boring myself....

I walk or ride a stationary bike. I read a good book at the same time. It makes the time fly by, but I also only do "fat burning" level of exercise only. Maybe later when I get slowly into better shape, I will kick it up to full cardio training.
