Hi. I’m Brian. I’m looking for exercises that fit my health style. I have a bad back and can’t do a lot of long standing, high weight lifting, and bouncing or jumping type exercises but I need to lose weight. I walk about an hour intermittently every day. I’m looking to lose 75 pounds to be at my preferred weight. If anyone knows of any exercises that I can do to help me on my way to my goal I would really be grateful for any input you could offer. Thank you.

    Hi Brian, I’m Angie. I have 61 pounds left to get to my goal weight. I also have back pains from a herniated L5 and bulging disc in L4 and L5. I am starting hot yoga. It is supposed to help loosen muscles and reduce inflammation while you work out your core. Also, swimming is great for the back in the summer. Best of luck on your weight loss/health journey! 🌻

    Hi Brian, I spent 2 weeks in Italy and probably walked 3 to 5 miles a day. I was not watching my diet during the trip because I was in Italy. I came home and was surprised that I had lost 5 lbs in those 2 weeks. I did not need to lose weight but I did. Walking 2 to 5 miles a day on hilly ground at a reasonable pace really works.
