What is your go to workout/exercise?

When I started I decided to look at my life and have a look at where I could fit in some easy excersise as I was not fit but wanted to get fitter. I did not want to join a gym and felt no need until recently

I started with simply walking. I extended my time walking, it helped I had a goal as my work is 4.5 km from home. I started with just once a week walking there and back. I also started walking to the store for small things I needed to buy. These days (3 years later) 15km I consider a nice afternoon stroll and I walk to work 4 days a week. Our preferred holidays now are long distance walkways. (Which we won't be able to do this year, but that is a different story)

We cycle a lot here and I took that further and more often and further. Upping slowly over time. I love taking the bike on a nice day and do a 30-40km roundtrip, takes about 1.5 to 2 hours only.
I already did yoga (once a week an hour) and started doing some moring stretches, both to wake up and to get the energy flowing. About a year go I added resistance training and found I loved working with free weights.
I now have a gym membership and love it. I joined just 3 months ago and when I felt I needed to get further in my excersise. I now do the you tube videos as well and some are harder than others.

If those home videos are your preferred way to do it make sure you watch them before you join in to see if they will fit you and stick intitially to the beginners. You will increase your strength over time and as you gain fitness you will be able to do many of them.

Trampoline exercise has its ups and downs.

I started with walking. Just walking a little, like 3km here and there. I ended up walking 10-12km several times a week. I then moved on to some basic home workouts from YouTube (like Jessica Smith) and running. I now can run 7-8km (still with a bit of walking) and can do higher intensity workouts like Insanity and other HIIT without any issues/modifying.

Basically, over time you'll just gradually "get there". If you prefer the home workouts, follow the modifier and if you need a break, take one anytime! The benefit of home workouts is you can pause whenever you feel like it! Stick to a single workout for a couple of weeks and then decide whether it's working for you. The first week is usually the hardest.

Good luck to you!

I love YouTube for fitness videos and absolutely love JessicaSmithTV. She has a large variety of exercise videos and in most of them, her dog, Peanut is there. I find I laugh doing them and it makes it more enjoyable. She's very encouraging and her moves are easily modified if need be.

When I first started out all I could do is walk. 1/4 of a mile was a real challenge. But I kept going...

Soon I was able to do 1 mile without stopping, then 2 miles etc., I then discovered Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home videos. Those workouts helped to build my endurance and stamina even more. Before I knew it I could do 5 miles in one shot and I wasn't sore or tired.

Fast forward 4 years later I am now fast walking daily getting up to 8+ miles with ease and 2 - 3 miles of light walking on an active rest day.

Now I am in excellent shape and can do more so I also love to lift, plyometrics and bodyweight exercises and I'm not into dancing or boot camp type workouts.

Also I only workout at home or outside. I lost 80 pounds and have been maintaining my weight for over 3 years without a gym membership. I use a lot of Beachbody workouts and workouts on Youtube (Jessica Smith, Fitness Blender etc.)

Take baby steps, build up to it and work for it. Everyday. It will be tough at first, but your body will adapt as you continue to challenge it!

Walking at first, and it soon became one of my favourite activities. I'd listen to audiobooks (usually fantasy genre), music or BBC Radio iPlayer dramas (usually horror) and the time flies by. I get off the train a stop earlier and walk home 5k daily and added a long Sunday walk of 16k. Walking is the best.

Nowadays I do what seems to be known as 'fitness walking' which combines jogging, almost like a C25K programme. It's really amazing, me and my wife go for a 80 -100 mins walk/jog and burn 700kcal. It's actually enjoyable and something we look forward to. There's nothing like getting back home and pouring over the data (we use the Mapmyrun app which syncs with MFP). My wife has a Polar HR band and can see how many mins she was in each HR zone. The technology these days is amazing, smartphones have transformed our fitness levels.

My dinner is heavy then lunch. mostly I don't take breakfast. But still I am overweight by 30 Kg (66 Lbs).

From last one week, I have started walking for 15 Mins after taking dinner and planning to gradually increase to 1 Hour.

Advice is much appreciated regarding how to lose weight.

Walking. When I started, I could barely manage 3 miles a day. On average, I now walk between six to eight miles each day.

I run every other day, bicycle 2-4 days a week (more when I'm bike commuting), do a few hikes every month, and force myself to do some basic strength training 2-3 times a week.

But I built up to that gradually. I walked a lot, hiked occasionally, and bicycled from time to time when I was at my heaviest. From 2008 to the present, I got more serious about cycling, and gradually went from occasional 10-20 mile rides to regularly cycling 50-100 miles a week, longer some weeks. In 2014, after I had lost a lot of weight, I took up running again, with the Couch to 5K program, and cut back a little on my cycling.

The human body can adapt amazingly, as long as you keep two basic principles in mind:

1. To improve fitness, you need to stress your body a little bit more than it's used to. If you can easily walk 2 miles, try 2.5 next time.

2. But the improvement comes not from the stress itself but from recovery, which means alternating hard and easy days. That's especially important with high-impact activities like running, and with strength training, but it's a good general principle to keep in mind. If you always train hard, you'll just feel exhausted.
