If you want to keep it simple, I would alternate a short strength workout, with a little aerobic exercise every other day. Squats (with a little weight added), push ups, and sit ups one day, and a jog, or bike ride the next day. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes a day, but would make a difference in two weeks. Eat a little protein after each exercise, to help put on some muscle.

Carefully go through a stretching regime after exercise as well.

A reminder on safe stretching

Feel for the stretch, NEVER feel for any pain
Never bounce the stretch
Breath, don't hold your breath
Hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds
Again, if it hurts, or you start to feel a muscle spasm, stop

Now I have take some of my own medicine :wink:

So am I, but that's not a guarantee that you will make time for exercise. I know :lol:

I'm a tea girl at heart. When I say I hate coffee, its more that I have to be in the mood for coffee (which is rare), and someone else has to make it. Cappucinos are the best Ive had so far, in fact the best coffee I had was at a little cafe in Christchurch in Dorset.

Black and strong is the only way :wink:
