I have a total gym can I get some help using it from the Sparks coach? and I have an Air climber that I started using yesterday I "m alternating days on it. Trying to follow a high protein diet with moderate to low exercising to start out with. Really need lots of help staying motivated.

I'm 65 with bad knees so I'm not getting down on the floor! But I am committing to walking the dog at least once every day for at least one mile.

I'm just over 50, have a knee issue so I'm taking my time doing 3 days a week program, so this is a good way to evaluate my position as I'm just starting back.

I have a 1 week vacation beginning on Good Friday. Maybe I'll try these 4 Fitness tests to do at home and see how I'm doing. I'm going to Atlantic City and I plan to do a lot of walking in the boardwalk ,and no gambling... I just hope the weather cooperates.

So I am on week two of a brutal workout regiment. I worked out with a trainer for three sessions and let me tell you it made a difference. Those strength training machines no longer scare me. And there are only a few that are extremely challenging because I am so short. They really should make machines for those that are vertically challenged.

Serileigh, I suffer with these elements also. Today is the best one in a long time: Wearing both leg braces I intent to walk around the cul de sac, which I haven't been able to do for weeks! It helps that last night was only complicated with minor leg spasms, easily relieved. :-) I hope you get additional insight today for whatever your particular situation is.

These are all great, if you don't have mobility and chronic pain issues. What about addressing those as well?

I have been sick for a couple of years, just getting back to trying to get healthy. I am walking and doing stairs, plus I found a video on Spark that does strength excercises using a toning rope. I just got the rope so will start the toning tomorrow. Wish me luck!

This is great--I know that I will start well below the average level, because I've been unfit for too many years; however, I intend to make the excellent scores within the next year.
