LOL

About a decade ago I decided I was going to get fit and lose weight. I have knee & back issues (lost 2cm off a leg in a motorcycle accident) so I didn't think I could do anything but walk, so I bought the cheapest eliptical trainer I could find. Day 1 (January) exercise consisted of assembling the unit and a bottle of wine. Next day I was on for a few minutes. I got up to 5 minutes and when I could do 5 minutes a day for 6 days I went to 10 minutes. Then 15, 30, and sometimes more.

In May that year I was running sub-30 minute 5k races.

So yes I agree that there is something terribly wrong if you cannot do 30 minutes of exercise at a time... but I also know that you can fix that!

For 30 years I didn't think I could ride a bike because of my leg length discrepancy... once I found that out I never ran again.
