Give it a go, if your knees hurt too much then speak to doctor. I found it really hard the first couple of weeks, then seemed easier, then harder again. we are currently on week 8 which should be 28 mins of running, but she made us do 30 on Monday morning as it meant we finished at a good point. Will see what she has in store for us on Wednesday which is our next session.

Think I'm going to try it first jogging on spot then when I fished course do it outside and build up slowly,x
 
Well at the moment I am walking at least 7km per day between the 2 factories rather than be driven. The distance is about 1.5kms one way.
Plus the other walking I do I am averaging around 13,000 steps each day much to my amazement.

They aren't really girly chores though, you may say that as there are females in the household but for single men it's an everyday part of life lol xx

Trying to do two 30 minutes walks a day I start the heart rehab 5th of June 6weeks gym classes so they can monitor my progress without putting to much strain on my heart to quickly. Then I can start exercising properly. Planning on getting a bike and making the most of our sports club membership pool and gym lots of classes I can join.
