Make sure when you set up an exercise program that you include aerobics in the mix...it's very important. It will warm up your muscles and increase your heart rate, preparing you for the rest of your workout.
There are many options you can chose from that will fit in with your personal schedule and physical ability. Walking, running, elliptical, tread mill, stair step. I really like the elliptical, as it really burns the calories in a shorter period of time.
Leslie Sansone has a great selection of in-home walking DVD's. I've used them for many years. These are particularly good for slimming up your legs and providing overall fat loss.
It doesn't require an hour to reap rewards from aerobic exercise. You can warm up in 10 minutes, you can burn calories and get a good exercise in 20 minutes.
If you are not interested in lifting weights, that's ok. The great thing about exercise is, it is very versatile. Do what works best for you...just keep it going so you get results. I think some people give up too soon. Be patient.
Also, don't forget to stretch and cool down at the end of your exercise, so you can bring your heart rate back down to a resting point.
Know that each time you choose to exercise, you do something that is healthy for your body. Keep it up, and you won't be disappointed.
