Might be best to check with your doctor before embarking on any exercise program, esp if you havent done any exercise for a while.Any movement is good, even fidgeting, armchair exercises are a good start, your body is supported whilst you are doing the exercises, not sure about a trampoline just yet, you dont want to hurt yourself.Another option are Therabands, these come with instructions and are gentle and effective. A link for you, this book is supposed to be one of the best for armchair exercising <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rosies-Armchair-Exercises-Complete-Workout/dp/0951851179" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rosies-Armchair ... 0951851179</a>As you lose weight and move around more you will soon be able to do a lot more, build confidence and feel comfortable to join a gym if that is what you want to do eventually.Dont feel a failure, you are anything but, I think you are very strong and brave to face up to things and willing to make the necessary changes to make you healthier once more.Good luck x x</blockquote>
