Ok hope not posting twice my connection cut out. Doing the step away from the scale challenge but need to motivate myself on exercise.
M--F exercise DVD, and try doing pushups everyday. As of yesterday I could do five in a row.
Sat & Sun go for a long walk. If weather is not permitting do a 30 min walk video instead.

I have to say you guys are awesome on your exercise accomplishments I hope to work up to that.

EagleRiverDee the functional exercises are core and stretches, I do
10 ea of a few different crunches, calf, quadriceps, hamstring and back stretches, shoulder shrugs and toe lifts.

The strength exercises are squats, lunges, and arms, bicep, tricep, flys and presses, with 5kg dumbbells.

Not too strenuous, but I wasn't doing anything regularly so I was feeling it at first, feeling better already. I can't find my book at the moment, but luckily I've started this a few times before and made a little checklist so I know what to do.
