I am 5&#8217;4&#8243; and weigh around 200 lbs.  I have a treadmill and would like to know the best way to use it as I&#8217;m not ready to run as I find it too hard on my knees and I have a bad back. What do you suggest?<br \/>\nThank you, <br \/>\nKim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi Kim, <\/p>\n<p>Before starting any exercise program it is important to consult your doctor. Let your doctor know of your intent to exercise and of any discomfort your are currently experiencing (i.e. your knees and back).<\/p>\n<p>Weak knees and a bad back are common ailments of having too much weight on your frame. The excess load stresses the joints and alters your posture. If you follow the program set out below, coupled with a strength training program and a healthy diet, not only will the pounds start to come off, the stress on your frame will also be reduced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A treadmill workout for beginners, after the jump&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/01\/a-treadmill-workout-for-beginners\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>A Treadmill Workout for Beginners<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/01\/a-treadmill-workout-for-beginners\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent link to this entry\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/forward\/19292601\/\" title=\"Send this entry to a friend via email\">Email this<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/01\/a-treadmill-workout-for-beginners\/#comments\" title=\"View reader comments on this entry\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filed under: Advice, Fitness, Ask a Fitness Expert Hi Sarah, My resolution for 2010 is to lose 50 pounds.
