I'm looking for a bit of advice and encouragement really.
I need to lose weight and obviously it is easier and better for me to combine healthier eating with some form of exercise.
The thing is, too much exercise makes the joints revolt (oh how I hate my revolting joints sometimes!) so I just wondered what kind of exercise others on here found useful, or if anyone had any tips.

I was just posting about the same on another thread!!
I am lucky enough to have a treadmill and walk on it as often as I can. I also try to do a little yoga and used to love swimming, but it hurt my neck :xmas_redface:
My MIL has a small like exercise bike thingy which sits on the floor and isn't a bike....not a very good explanation that!! She also has two very lightweight weights which she lifts daily to keep her arms strong.
Seriously though I think whatever we will keep on doing is best and to start off very very steadily.
Love and luck

And good luck with it. I hope it goes well.
That was 3 years ago when I was 78. I still do what I can but no more than 5 miles and find that it is not the actual walking but the morning after that it all catches up.
Best wishes to you with your plans,it sounds as though you are starting the New Year off well.Build up slowly and steadily.

Our Arthritis Branch has a yoga class once a fortnight.
We walk ??? LOL once a month
Zumba {seated} once a week and swimming once a week but there is a massive waiting list for that.
Apart from those I need the motivation to keep up my exercises at home on my own. :frown:
I try to do some stretches every day and some exercises my physio gave me and on my back in a semi supine position for 20 mins every day. I TRY dont always manage it
