Why not start a light exercising early?
I started with 80lbs to lose and very low energy levels.
I could barely finish 10min of moderate cycling.
2 months later I didn't just have increased energy, I'd put on muscle and was now able to do 60min of cycling no problem.
When you're very heavy, cycling and swimming are great, because they're low impact. Jogging, running, etc is real bad on the joints when you're 75+lbs overweight. |
