There are nice workouts that can be found on youtube that works well. I started with the walking videos. And then I added some really light weights and went from there 

I walk in a hilly area when I can. I also have an exercise bike in the living room. 

I started at almost 300 lbs and I had the old Sweatin' to the Oldies videos. I loved them and just told my husband the other day I wish I still had them. Anyhoo, nowadays I look on youtube for exercise videos, whatever my interest is that day. I tried yoga yesterday, about broke me 🤪 

I started with a peddler until i could walk. I still use it and watch a cycling video tour while doing so. Or watch my soap. There are lots of simple exercise videos for seniours , even some done in a chair. Some are set to music and more like dancing, which I enjoy. I am finding I don't have the co-ordination to Zumba like I did, but it is fun. I thought I would take a look at belly dancing.....Resistance bands are also inexpensive and easy to use....even sitting! 

try the chloe ting work outs or even try starting out with walking. Dont over work yourself & start slow so you dont hate working out 

There's a workout regime called "walk away the pounds" its sort of walking in place so its a great place to start i think. 

I love walk away the pounds. I did some yesterday 

try light callisthenics with music on try 10min. day per session. add additional 10min sessions when you want too. Its easy to do you neef no equipment and burns calories not even enough time to hate it. and try Walking for 20min. day. clear your head get fresh air see the scenery.  

I am in the same boat as well. 

I’m having a hard time exercising! I started at 350 so moving is hard. I use resistance bands on my arms and legs right now. 

90% of weight loss is what you eat 

Get into or get a whirlpool/Jacuuzi, sauna steam/dry-heat and do some yoga poses and/or light stretches until you can move onto pilates. Zumba should be your goal.  

If you can get to a pool. I recommend you do lunges and upright push-ups while standing, press arms in/out at the edge of pool. Lunges can be done with feet on side of pool while holding onto edge of pool and just sway back/forth. Or, do lunges the OG way.  

I’d start with regular walking ( 1.5 - 2.0 miles a day) and maybe some beginner yoga moves. Overtime you could add some light weights - swimming is another great option if you have a chance these days. For yoga I use this app I’m called down dog, it is awesome! Keep your daily log and you’ll see results soon. Good luck on your journey! 

i dont get out much with my 3 kids. so i put on this thermal vest thing i got at Wal-Mart and do some streches then i jump rope or roller blade. i started with 10 min of jump rope because thats what i could do in the beginning. im am now up to 20 min. i would say youtube some stretches and find a cardio workout that you can handle 

I do dance fitness.. BollyX and Zumba.. just move at your level as long as you can .. don't worry about the choreography.. let the music move you :) and have fun, (BollyX on demand, BollyX.com are sources, Zumba.com has inexpensive classes or find people streaming (Zoom) in your area. walk, pools are closed now where I live. just enjoy your movement and build up your endurance. take your time so you don't get hurt. 

Walking, yoga, and I’ve just discovered that some people do hula hoop workouts! 

I do body groove, it is so much fun and gives you a good workout. I also downloaded the fiton app and do some of those exercises. Their workouts are about 10-20 minutes give or take a few minutes. Plus they have different categories to choose from, I do the senior workouts. 

weight lifting. the heavy ones. if you can do three sets of 12 without a good effort on the last reps then it's too light. I like it because I'm uncoordinated and it doesn't involve a lot of jumping around non sense 

Thank you guys! I had no idea so many people commented! Is it really 90 % of what i eat? i work out i just always feel like im not doing enough
