Workout Review

I thought I'd have a glance at other workouts on the internet. Cheeeeeeeze! It seems that everyone would have you cavorting round, and they all make the claim that they are the best.
What is the best? I think that's a very difficult question We are all different shapes and sizes, ages and abilities
.
In my twenties, I was still fat but regularly killed myself with high impact aerobics and step. I absolutely loved it. Twice a week I could hardly walk, but the adrenaline made me a junkie. One of my daughters is addicted to Zumba the same way that I was to my beloved aerobics. I see her immediately after her class and she glows - I remember the look. At its height, my addiction led me to the gym every day; I'd do a circuit, a step class, then another circuit.
BUT I was 30 years old, eighteen years later, and about 15 years since I did any serious exercise, I am looking for something a bit more gentle.
I know, because everyone tells me , that I need to do some exercise. It will help me lose weight obviously, but there is more to it. My Dad was a paid-up member of the 'healthy body, healthy mind' lobby, and expended a lot of energy lecturing me on the principal. On a nice summer's day, I would be sitting inside reading, or something, and he'd start. I needed to be outside enjoying the fresh air, getting some healthy exercise. It didn't take me long to realise that he didn't want to cut the grass himself, and would much rather I did it! We had one of these ancient push lawnmowers, which sat out all year long and had notoriously rusty, blunt blades. If you didn't catch the grass before it got too long, then the mower just bent the grass over! He used to lead with "Do you want to be white and fat?"
Anyway, back to the subject. It was an unhealthly mixture of scepticism and laziness that led me to investigate The 7 Minute Workout. I'm doing a bit of listening to motivational speakers (you can tell it's working, can't you?), and they all talk about exercise as being important in an overall healthy and successful life. I do walk the dogs every day, but they are very tired animals, so don't like to be away from their beds for long. I suppose bending to pick up the poo counts as stretching, and dragging them round the block is good for my 'bingo-wings', but I can't really kid myself. I have also been delusional about my ability to exercise because I have a sore back.
In a previous post, I talked about my backache, and possible links to aspartame, the artificial sweetener.The truth is - and no-one is more surprised than me - I have not had a sore back since I stopped ingesting that poison, and so I've no excuse there.
So, I'm back at the beginning, searching for an exercise routine to suit me. I cant remember how I came across The 7 Minute Workout, I'm a marketer's dream and will always open emails that promise me infinite wealth, my own Learjet etc, so when someone sent me an email saying I could be thin and rich, it would have been irrestistable!
I've just started my second round of exercises, and even in that 7 minutes, I get a little buzz. I'll just start there..........
