    I found this on you tube , only ten mins long , just do what you can , it's all about progression, use this page to keep notes, you'll soon feel and see how easier it becomes :) I can only do 5 mins right now, aiming for at least 7 by the end of this week. Keep going you can do this.

    Sure anyone can join in, doesn't matter when you start as long as you can commit to it everyday for 30 days. :) Whether it's just for a few mins or for 10, 20 or even 30 mins. You will find yr goals get easier day to day :)

    & good start Aniqa109....vix4001 :)

    Day 4,,,, yay managed 10 mins after strength training today, can do 100 at a time. Basic jump two feet, I hop 30 at a time and knee lift jumps 50.. Such an improvement in such a short time,, was knackered , out of breath, sweaty and red faced lol :)

    amazin, you can really feel the difference by just doing this small amount every day,, 5 mins of it is far more knackering than 5 mins on a treadmill :)
