Another exercise support thread

[forward]

I've run these threads periodically and like to update the titles to encourage newbies to read.

That's because the best advice I got was to exercise to get rid of stress. It works. I really urge newbies to consider. It can be about as close to free as you can get. You get a free skin lift, possibly lose weight, and feel stronger and more confident. You also get endorphins going--better than antidepressants. For many people, all these benefits add up to a 180.

BH has given some great advice on this thread, and that is cool, esp. given that it can be so hard to siphon through the tons of stuff out there for weight loss, etc..

As an FYI, I am not "buff," and didn't intend to lose weight but I was physical therapy material when I came here and now I'm lifting 12-pound weights, cardio about 4x/week 20 min each and yoga about 2x/week. I feel much better and happier (and nice thing is that it will show....)
