    Do all the excersises have to be done at once or through the day. Like 2 mile walk at lunch and 10 jumping jacks. Then after dinner 3 mile walk and 30 jumping jacks. Reason I ask is, I have a bad knees and a 5 mile walk at once or a lot of jumping will kill them.

    If we can break it up throughout the day, I think I can do this.
