I need to start exercising and from what I've been researching I'll be starting with low intensity stuff for sure. I have adrenal fatigue so I'm not sure if that's an issue for you but it's important not to burn yourself out even more by exercising too hard. So yoga, swimming, pilates etc are good.

I think I might start with a body balance class, by the sounds of it it's a mix of pilates, yoga and tai-chi.

Perhaps an aqua aerobics class too.

I really really want to do a spin class but I am no where near fit enough for that yet!

I'll come back tonight when I get home from the gym.

Good for you! I am seriously considering rejoining the gym but I am making myself lose a few kilos first to prove that I'm serious.

I would start with the classes, body balance is good. I loved body combat and body attack, but stay away from attack until you get a bit fitter as it's pretty high impact. Spin is the devil.

Beyond that maybe see if you can get some personal training sessions as that will give you an idea of stuff you can do on your own in the gym.

I always loved body jam...it is dance fitness.

The other thing I did was use a trainer for one session at least and get an exercise program up and running. Makes life so much easier at the gym each time and you know your working towards what you want to achieve, but just exercising blindly.

Yay, that's awesome! I rembember feeling so proud of myself the first time I ever joined the gym

I agree that classes are a great place to start, especially of you're not really sure what you should be doing. I love body balance! You can't go wrong with that one and always feel so relaxed afterwards, but you will really feel it the next day! Body combat is great too. Its based on kick-boxing (I think) and is a great cardio workout. I also like pump for strength training. I find doing weights pretty boring, but pump makes it so much fun.

Good luck with your journey to fitness, I hope you enjoy it

Body Balance is a beautiful class to start with - my next bet would be with Body Pump. Just let the instructor know before the class starts that you're brand new and they'll set you up with light weights and watch your technique throughout it (dont stress, it'll be worth it in the end).

These are the two class which will give you quick results and a toned body. Stick to pump x 2 each week and balance 1-2 each week too....Then cardio Aqua aerobics is always good fun too
