    What kind of exercise do you do?

    Well it took a little bit for me to start exercising, at over 500 pounds it was hard to do much. I then just started walking, little by little I increased my distance and speed. Now I go to the gym 3-4 days a week do about 3 miles on the treadmill doing speed intervals of 3.5mph to 6mph. I also bike about 5 miles, and I just now began weight training. The weight training is a challenge, but I know it will be worth it in the long run...
