DH and I are both trying to lose weight. DH is using an aerobic fitness thing on the XBox Kinect, which he's doing 3 times a week.
I tried DH's cardio aerobics but, at 50, found it was taking me 3 days to be able to walk up the stairs comfortably again
Instead, I power walk as fast as I can without breaking into a run on a treadmill for 30 mins 3 or 4 times a week (about 1.75 miles each time). I break a decent sweat from it.
I am thinking about trying to go swimming at least once a week. I am useless at it and tire really easily but of course, even if 2 lengths exhausts me, I am gettimg my high level cardio exercise from it, aren't I?
Do you think it's 'enough'? Or should I grimly press on with DH's aerobics?

30 mins power walking x 3 per week; decent swim 1 x week. Enough?
