Quotes
A gentle start-up training plan begins with an attitude change. Getting the right mindset is the first step. Are you sufficiently strong minded to begin and then persevere? If not, stay on your couch. If you do mean to start something, then start gently, after a proper medical. Begin with walking a set time every day. Then increase in sensible increments. If you are still "with it" after walking, try walking and jogging, then jogging, then running. That regime will keep you occupied for the first year! Training is a progressive activity - and you have to persevere.
