Unable to run or walk quick!

You don't have to walk fast. You just have to walk more. Try walking at a comfortable rate and be vigilant in monitoring your food. You can do it.

I agree, any activity is better than none. And, as you build up that strength it will become easier.

This sounds strange, but when I had problems with my back I couldn't cycle, so I used to lie on the floor behind the exercise bike and cycle from there. It's something you could only do at home but it worked well for me whilst I was injured.
Whatever exercise you do, I would start slowly, with a few minutes of light exericse and work your way up

Help!! I'm starting a weight loss plan in 5 days!! yup my new years resolution. the food part is never a problem but the exercise part is.
I am disabled.. unable to walk fast to burn off calories and cannot run either.. also i'm a non swimmer (petrified at the thought of water)

Is there anyone who can give me any exercise tips please? Forgot to add that cycling is also out.. i have a major balance problem due to recent chemotherapy!

Thanking you in advance

First thing... I hope your chemotherapy is going well and that you are able to overcome what you're going through. That takes a lot of strength, physically and emotionally.

Secondly, don't wait 5 days, start implementing changes, even small ones, now! If you have the time for it, walking at whatever pace for an extended period of time will burn calories. Most people prefer shorter, more intense workouts to get quick calorie burns to fit in a tight schedule also there are some added health benefits but first priority is to get moving, speed and intensity will come in time. There may be some bodyweight exercises that you can do as well that will help to build strength better than just walking would.

I agree, start slowly, especially if you are going through any kind of medical treatment. It also wouldn't hurt to run things by your doctor either to make sure that its physical activity that you're cleared for.

For calories, well this is a very helpful post to read: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

Finally, what are your overall goals and little information about your stats too... that's helpful in advising what exercises might work for you as well as any questions for calorie goal setting.

Any activity can help create a deficit.
Slow walking is better than no walking.

Good for you for wanting to make lifestyle changes! I think that you've gotten some great advice. Check out the Leslie Sansone videos. The Wii is a great way to get some exercise while having a lot of fun. Have you tried a recumbent bike? They have them both as stationary bikes and outside bikes. You could also look into an adult tricycle. These all would eliminate the balance issue. Do you use a walker? That might help with allowing you to do more walking without fear of falling. Walking in the mall would even do you well. The main thing would be to do something. Any activity is better than no activity. Best wishes to you!

I suggest an elliptical machine. It fully supports you, but allows cardio for your whole body. If you go to a gym they probably have several styles. Try all of them as each one has a very different feel.
Best of luck to you.
