So, how do i move. walk.
when within minutes
i feel like my heart will
explode out of my chest from pain
or fall over because
there is no oxygen to
keep me breathing right.
the pain scares me.
how do i get past it?
where do i start?
seriously.

Tricia, that's how I felt when I started. I took Susan's advice and modified by walking at a pace where I felt I was taking in more oxygen - breathing a bit heavier - but not where I felt pain or breathlessness. And I kept at that level for 30 mins

..then, gradually, day by day, I found each walk that bit easier, and was able to increase my level of intensity (adding pace or resistance) so that I was always in oxygen, challenging myself but not hurting myself...and my fitness level built...soon

I was able to take a class with Susan (using her videos) and move on to higher levels of intensity. Susan will probably explain all this far more eloquently, but I can assure you that you CAN do it, and you'll thrill yourself as you do! Go Tricia!

Tricia,
I echo Brians answer. On the first day of my NEW life (only 17ish days ago) I made myself get up and walk..fear and questioning be damned. For that day I just did it.

One foot in front of the other. Slowing down until I got to the pace that I was able to cotinue. It was just 15 min that first day. Now I walk a little more briskly and can do it for 45 min. Just 17 days. I'm still unfit...but fitter.

Im still overweight...but lighter. I've got a long way to go...but I've started. You and I and so many others are going to do this together. Susan told me (all of us) it was more than possible. It is. My best to you.

Thank you for the support Susan and everyone else. I am humbled by the strength you have given me. Im pushing through the fear because your words crawled inside my soul today. I moved for 25 minutes today because you held me up. I'm forever grateful.

in this together...and I've just noticed I named myself Tricia in that last post, that's how inspired I was! LOL! LOL ...Reading Susan's "Stop The Insanity" changed my view of exercise forever, and this site is continuing to inspire and reinforce
