Tips for exercise

Hello all.

Just joined so still finding my way around.

I have to admit it I am fat! Trouble is that I have just had a back operation so cannot do very vigorous exercise. The only thing I can manage is walking the dog every day. Probably about half an hour.

Any tips please?

Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum glamgran56

I like your user name by the way, it could be me as I’m 56 and a new Granny, but I’m not feeling quite so glam after festive over-indulgence!! Lol 😊

I hope your back soon heals, walking is an excellent exercise and many of us like the Lesley Sansome walking videos on You Tube, especially the ‘Happy Walk’. I also like yoga but have to advise caution just now after back surgery, have you seen a Physio? They are very useful for exercise advice.

For weight loss however, it’s far more important to eat less, it’s about 80% diet and 20% exercise

Id like to invite you to our Newbie Club where you'll find all the information you need to navigate the forum. Please read it carefully as it has links to the 12 week plan and a pictorial guide to finding all the Events and Challenges.

We hope it will also be a good place for you to connect with members who are also just starting out. If you just post a few words to introduce yourself and respond to others there, you'll soon break the ice.

Best wishes

Anna. 😊
