[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2094896, member: 256617"] Walking I believe is the best starting exercise. Progression is easy with either distance, double time or depending on your route pushups. I have read that the legs are more insulin resistance than the upper body, so how about lunges and squats. These are great exercises with minimal injury risk, perhaps after a walk. Again easily progressed by pulsing to fatigue and sets. Building muscle will also decrease insulin resistance. Once all of the above is too easy, you can add dumbbells in hand to the leg workouts, and use these for some upper body as well. A final progression could be power lifting. [/QUOTE]
