If you would have told me 3 1/2 yrs ago that I would be running over 3 miles every morning I would have fell over laughing. I was 47 then and all my numbers had been good to that point. Then I got a blood sugar test up just over normal. Since my dad had his first bypass at 51 I realized it was time to do something. Started with 10 minutes of walking and went up from there. I now look forward to the morning exercise & wake up easily. Before it was a struggle to get up every morning. BTW I’ve also lost 55 lb.
It can be done! Start slow & don’t overdue it. Watch the calories on the treadmill meter. Then when you think about eating sometheing you shouldn’t, think about how long it will take to burn it off.

Good for you!

Bravo, starting slow and not burning out early is key. As a former college wrestler, we would eat, some of us as much as we wanted, then go ride the bike until most calories were burned off. Think about it, next time you eat too much, just go ride the bike at the appropriate level to burn off the calories.
