Q.

How much exercise is enough? Should I try swimming?

I was wondering if you could help me. When I started this programme I was working out using DVD's, walking and once a week attending a yoga class.

As time has passed I have found I can't find the time to do all of this. I walk to work which is 40 mins brisk walk (breaking a sweat) everyday. Do my yoga class once a week and squeeze in a toning DVD a couple to 3 times a week.

I am not one of these gym-crazed people I get too disheartened too quickly and also find that my programmes make me tired so I eat more and never lose any weight - just maintain it.

So the question - is the walking and the DVD and yoga class enough to count for exercise? If not what could you suggest? I do run but again that tires me out and also my knees are begining to hurt. If I started swimming how often or how many lengths should I look to do? Thanks for your help.
Regards Anna
