2. Yes, absolutely

I'd start slow by either walking daily, strength exercises or yoga. I love yoga, my muscles feel worked out without the pain.

You can always change your routines daily so that it doesn't get boring. On the days that I don't walk or engage in yoga, I'm doing strength exercises. When I was younger I had 7% of body fat and it was easy to do push-ups. It's not so easy anymore, so I'm having a slow start on the strength training and that's okay. I'm also resting on my knees for the push-ups, once I get the upper muscles strengthened, I'll be trying for regular push-ups.

I would also cut down on caffeine, take fish oil supplements and try to consume more vegetables to effectively lower your heart rate.


Good luck, Tobin.

P.S. Don't forget to change your daily routines so that you don't get burnt out. I can't stress this enough.
