Thanks Linda and Chrissy. I'll start walking tomorrow. I have a history (not a recent history) of taking on very ambitious and strenuous exercise plans and then bailing out because it's too much.

Still, I like the idea of lifting weights, moving something more than my legs, but know nothing about where to begin. I'll try looking for videos as suggested - great idea! Printed instructions on how to use the calf machine don't go far when you don't know what a calf machine is.

What's an online trainer? Sounds less intimidating than a live one.
