Congratulations and kudos to you for making a great decision to exercise! You've received some excellent responses to your question from folks who live a fit lifestyle. They've encouraged me when I needed it most to just get to it (I was dragging, feeling I was too old and out of shape).
I'm just starting my "official" lifting this week at a local community college. Been using free weights, and want to learn correct form and procedures. Eventually, I may want to keep it to a home exercise, but getting to weight training class twice a week is sort of like my habit of checking in here at these boards - it keeps me ACCOUNTABLE.
The WATP workouts are terrific! Armed with the 1, 2 and 3 mile walks, I no longer have an excuse to not move my body.
Glad you're here
- keep asking questions and posting.
Jean
ps: Do check out the stickies Mel referred to and the "Stumptuous" site recommended by SusanB - they're both encouraging and "uplifting"
