Hi All,

Due to medical issue,

The doctor has recommended doing jogging exercises for at least 10 minutes a day.

But my working hour is damn long which leaves home at 6 am and reaches home around 9 - 10 pm or later and having a long hour of sitting.

Hence have some idea about getting a sports machine to support the jogging exercise after working hour to have a healthier life and to lose weight.

Any recommendations on the 3 items above?

Appreciate your recommendation.

Thanks in advance.

Previously I got jump rope daily.

Not sure is the wrong position or overweight or what my ankle injured and went for physio at the end. doh.gif

Doc recommends using a machine to support it better.

But I not sure about that.

if you are really severely overweight, then you shouldn't be exercising daily. your legs can't take it. once you lose more weight slowly you can increase the frequency.

easiest and least harmful is to just walk. park your car further away from your office. use the further toilets.

have to cultivate exercise habit before buying those equipments otherwise it's just gonna be another decoration at your home. what you should buy is a fitness watch and aim for for 2000 steps daily. if already 2000 then try 2500 or 3000 or more.

and of course, more importantly is to diet properly because you can never out exercise a poor diet. eat more protein cut liquid calories

Thanks for the advice.

Already starting to do that activity slowly and starting to cut down my meal.

But at the same time also thinking of just get a machine to support the exercise on daily basis.

elliptical machine would be the best for high intensity exercise for fat burning.
rowing machine is not too bad also, but seldom see people buying for their home.

Rowing is good but need proper form or u will get injured. Elliptical is also good as it’s a total body workout. Hands, legs and core.
