So true.... Exercise was not a way of life growing up except at recess.

Thanks for the advice. 10 minute starters sounds just right.

Welcome
You can do it.
Try joining the 10 minute exercise challenge for starters and go from their.
Exercise was always spellt exorcise for me.
We come from that age when exercise meant running round school playing fields in a t-shirt and navy knickers in the bleak midwinter. Kind of colours your attitude doesn't it?

Good luck
Nan

This 2013 I want to be a better, healthier me! I've struggled with my weight for nearly a decade. Since I was a thinner woman until after the mid-life births of my children, I don't have a history of being athletic or active. I could always "eat what I wanted" and not gain weight. Not th healthiest approach to food and exercise, but it's what I lived through my mid-thirties. Soooooo, here I am, accessing the support and tools of this friendly site. Planning that this year of my big 55 will make me a healthier, hotter senior for years to come.
