K i just found out a really good exercise that is REALLY easy and u can do it in ur house,in ur pj's, w/out shoes, watever! K wat u do is set a timer for 20 min- 30 min. and get on a pretty tall set of stairs run up and down the stairs 5 times ( going up once the down once equals one time) then take 10 second breather do this till the timer goes off then walk up and down the stairs 5 times to cool down.

if you do slideways leglifts it will help alot. do sets of 50 on each leg 2 times a day every day. so its easier if you do them when you wake up you calye in bed and do them and right as youre getting in to bed at night!!! trust me it works!!keep the faith! good luck.... rose m.

I nikki, if you have a big dog ask your parents if you could walk with it! cause big dogs pull and it makes you walk faster. Or when you get use to it, try it with no dog, try speed walking I swear the first time is hard but it's fun! Good luck!!!
