Exercise on a budget

Hi all, I'm starting my 12 week plan today. I'll have to go a lot longer than that but I'm hoping this plan will get me a good start. I'm looking for tips for exercises I can do at home preferably. I have a stepper machine but after 3-4 mins my knees hurt so much so does anyone know something else I could try for the first few weeks and then maybe work my way up to something more intense?

Hi Chelsea,

Great that you're starting the NHS 12 week plan today, and I'd like to wish you the best with it. It's a really great plan.

Do have a look at our Welcome Newbies post too - it's in the Pinned posts area (right-hand-side of the homepage).

Regarding your query about exercise, I'd like to give you the link to the NHS Fitness Studio, as it is a great place to look round to see if you like the exercises there - you can definitely enjoy them at home:

Hi, I can recommend Leslie Sansones walk at home videos, free on you tube, the 1 mile happy walk is fun!

These are really good 😊 I also put my music on and dance around 😊 Stair climbing is good, and just plain old fashioned walking outside 😊 If you want to boost the effort tins of baked beans make good weights!

Good luck
