the pedals)...? I have been very sedetary all of my life and I am currently starting to work with a nutritionist for weight loss. My current BMI is 37.12 (I know...that places me in the Very Obese category) and I have an overall goal to lose 100 pounds, but I am starting with a more reasonable and obtainable goal of losing 50 by the end of this year.
My mother has an eliptical bike (one of those stationary bikes that have the rowing handle bars), What is a reasonable speed and distance to start out at and for how long since I've never done this before? I have been doing ½-1 mile for 5-7mins at about 8.6-10.0mph and by the time I am done, I feel sort of faint.
What other simple exercising can I do at home without things like weights or having to buy one of those big ball things. Is there a certain amount and length of time I should exercise for each time?
Any advice?
I had an abdominal hysterectomy about a yr ago and I am still not 100% healed from that yet.
