Larger lady/Asthmatic Exercise
I’m a large lady. Have lost just over a stone but still have a long way to go. I want to bring exercise into my day, but with being larger and asthmatic it’s hard to know where to start. Running and any walking that involves hills kills me. Can anyone suggest gentle exercise for weight loss?
