Sounds like you're doing quite a lot! I need to kinda work up to it, I guess. Years ago I was doing 40 minutes (two different aerobic activities, like stairs and bike or treadmill and NordicTrak) plus light weights (well...Nautilus) a couple days a week. Now...well, twenty minutes three or four days a week is a big goal and one that'll take some getting used to. ;-) I'm kind of ashamed for getting out of it. Sigh.

I know how you feel--I used to do more when I was in high school :) But like you say, you need to work up to it. If you can get in the habit of 20 minutes 3-4 days a week for a while you'll be doing well. I started off like that and after about a month I found I could add on 10 minutes pretty easy. I think part of the key is periodically pushing yourself to do more than you're used to doing, but don't push yourself so far you overdo it and get discouraged. It sounds like you're doing pretty good :)
