I am in very bad shape right now - forty-six years old, five foot nine inches and 210 pounds. I did drop 10 pounds recently though. Cholesterol was "through the roof" - need to have it checked again since diet and exercise changes.
There is an exercise room at work and I just started using it.
Professional rowing machine (concept II erg) every day - this is easy on the joints and is a great cardio workout.
Light weights every other day (build endurance and not bulk).
I find that a simple strain and injury can plague me for months. Hence the rowing machine and light weights. I avoid running - hard on the joints and body - particularly for those of us who haven't worked out in a decade or so...
