Hi there.
My trouble is that i, probably like the rest of you need to lose weight, a lot of it and due to medical trouble i can not get my heart rate up above 100 to 110.

So does anyone know of indoor ( its not nice weather here ) exercises that would raise a even small sweat? all ideas welcome.

:-)

I was on toprol for a long, long time and came to believe that you can burn calories and even improve cardio without the vaunted heart rate hitting certain numbers. I had GPS and until I lost enough to get off the toprol 115 was a high pulse on the elip machine , even after 30 or 40 minutes. Yet, I toned up and improved cardio quickly. Now I'm off the toprol, I've lost over 130 lbs. and I can hit 150.
I don't know if your restriction is medication related but if so this may help. After all our ancsestors didn't run too much but the walked a lot.
