Fitness

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?

Walk more. Since I started to walk from Victoria to the office each morning (just over 2 miles) back in October, I've dropped a dress size. I don't know how much weight I've actually lost because I hate being weighed, but the looser clothes and needing new jeans because I could pull my old ones down without undoing the zip are a good indication that it's working :-D I also feel a lot better in myself.

Once the nights are lighter I'm going to walk back in the evenings too as it's far better than squeezing onto a sweaty tube.

What a coincidence! I travel from Victoria to the office every morning too...

That made me laugh :-)

If I walked from that Victoria to my office each morning I'd be very late, but *very* fit :-D
