Fitness

[wellinghall]

O wise FList, I need your help.

I want to get fit. No, scrub that - "fit" is far too high a target to aim at. I want to get a little bit fitter, and lose the couch potato status I seem to have acquired over the last few months. I do have some physical issues which complicate this - knee, feet, shoulder, nose, lungs, to name just the most obvious - but they don't have to keep me welded to the settee.

Does anyone have any suggestions for:
- some sort of fitness program I could follow? - in fairly easy steps, please!
- some sort of (realistic!) target I could aim at?

I only exercise if I need to. So it works, because at the moment it is cheapest and most convenient for me to cycle to work. Is there any way you can change your life to cycle more places?

(Sorry if this is so completely wrong for where you are / how you're physically issued, but it works for me, so I thought I'd suggest it)

Also, we used to have a video called the Y Plan countdown, which was fun because it took 12 minutes a day, and you got to progress through different levels. I have no idea if it was any good, but it was great fun! Lots of bobbing up and down aerobicsy type stuff to music, and some press-ups and sit-ups and things.
