Fitness for beginners
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Swimming or water aerobics, floor exercises such as yoga/pilates and sit-ups and variations thereof, weight training (with medium-weight barbells, you can keep going longer and make it aerobic). |
jfed51 11 years ago | Just starting this plan and looking forward to getting the ball rolling. I am a breast-cancer survivor (1 year ) and I have had knee surgery (which didn’t fix the problem). I have never been big on exercise, can’t get down on the floor, but I do have an elliptical machine and can use that with my knee. I am not a runner, but I do love the water. Any ideas on low-impact exercises that I can do? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Start with those 25 steps, then add 5 each day or two. In the meantime, work the parts that don’t hurt – arm lifts, stomach crunches, etc. The trick is to start small and slow, add a little every couple of days, rest every other day, etc. |
Proycejack 11 years ago | I have just begun! Isn’t this a song title. My main difficulty is exercise. Months ago I was in so much pain with knees and hips I could barely walk. Now am relatively pain free but can barely walk 25 steps before I am out of breath. Any tips on how to begin to rebuild my stamina? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, and welcome. No need to get into the recipes if you don’t want – just go for the whole foods. You will find that there are many dairy-free and gluten-free options. |
trimnow 11 years ago | I am overwhelmed by the cooking necessary. Tomato bake for the after dinner snack? Not going to cook it, I know myself. I am gluten and dairy free which makes substitutions difficult to navigate.I haven’t started. |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | A couple of suggestions: |
Csilva 11 years ago | I really don’t like vegetables. I have always been a picky eater. Help. |

Miss Slim One 11 years ago | Where can you buy SWG products? |
younismo 11 years ago | Also, for the free vegetables list on this link: https://www.trimdownclub.com/free-vegetables; is it allowed to eat from them as much as you want for the entire day any time in the day? because I read this written at the bottom of the menu: Thank you. |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | SWG stands for “sprouted whole grain”. In SWG products, the grain seeds have been allowed to sprout before milling, with makes them more digestible and the nutrients more available to the body. |
