They do say not to exercise in the first week or two but it's down to each individual as everyone feels differently.

As for which exercises to recommend... some people suggest light walking, some go to the gym for full-on work outs. Personally I jump on my x-trainer every so often or do a Carmen Electra DVD, nothing too strenuous for me.

Did you exercise much before coming on LT?

No, I didn't do any at all. I walk to work, It's like a 20Min walk. But that's all I suppose. I've got quite a few work out dvds. So I might give those a try

Sounds like a plan. And then after the first week or so if you feel like upping the pace a bit then you can but start out gently, definitely

I started walking on the treadmill at 65% of my max heart rate (which is the optimum fat burning rate) to work out yours subtract your age from 220 that then gives you your max heart rate (100%). Then just calculate what 65% would be.
