Hi, I’m a newbie to this forum. This will be my third time on the 5:2. Lost 10lbs the first time but a change of job made it difficult to stick to. The second time was very half-hearted and didn’t lose anything. The recent heat wave in the UK made me realise that if I weighed less I would probably have coped better with the heat. I have, at most, 28 kgs to lose. I’ve also noticed my knees are struggling slightly if I’ve knelt down a can’t get up so easily.

As I’ve never been a keen exerciser and have had many gym memberships over the years I need to do exercise for free as I am unemployed at the moment and I’ve decided that means power walking. I was looking through my cd’s and found that the “Hits of Erasure” from the 80’s/early 90’s to have a very good BPM for this. Or at least 12 to 15 of the tracks. I wondered what other music people walk to. Has anyone else managed to lose weight without having to do high intensity, or group exercise.

Thanks Lael. I’ve been looking on Youtube for ages but all I kept getting are the usual gym type workouts. This looks great, I’m definietly going to try this.
