[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1637559, member: 100904"] Perhaps I ought to have made it clear that my mention of building up slowly was specific reference to [USER=196960]@ickihun[/USER]'s situation of back pain and walking or step counting with a fitbit device. I am not sure rushing into exercise is good for anyone who has been sedentary for some time. Especially those who have a lot of weight to lose, and are of a certain age. (Which was the focus of the article in the original post). Brilliant that you have found cycling is your thing, [USER=150927]@AloeSvea[/USER] . I quite envy you, as due to my own disabling health conditions, that is never going to be an option for me anymore, and I used to love it so. Though I do believe we can all find some way of exercising, have done so myself from wheelchair in the past. We need to find what suits us. Mine is water based exercise. Always with a slow warm up, followed by some fast cardio work, then a gentle cool down. I would be cautious about too much to soon, and cringe when I see or hear of previously unfit sedentary middle aged people rushing into HIIT as a solution. I think of broadcaster Andrew Marr, and what happened to him. [URL]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9993366/Andrew-Marrs-stroke-caused-by-intense-exercise.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
