However, you don't see yourself as a gym rat or jock. Inactive and significantly overweight. You get winded lifting a bag of Doritos. Patti prescribes familiar and fun cardiovascular exercise for obese and overweight clients such as cycling, running and walking. At this level, stick to cardiovascular exercises.
Strength training comes later.
If you can't get to a gym, a stationary bike at home will do the trick. If you have a treadmill as well, try doing 10 to 20 minutes of exercise before and after school. Play basketball when the weather is nice and go on a 15-minute walk two or three times per week. Not overweight, just inactive. You often dream of going varsity, but think you don't have what it takes.
