Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I'm going to try the ten minute suggestion. Today I can commit to that. It's super hard to even think about it when I just want to stay in bed because I have felt miserable for the last week. I think I can also commit ten minutes a day for the next week. From there I'll up it. It sounds so slow but I think if I add that to walking to my office building (2 miles) it might be a start. Anyone know what level of exercise you need to do to make the difference that some of the research talks about to get the respiratory benefits? At least then I can gauge how close I am to actually doing myself some good.

the best excercise for you is whatever you will do consistently, for me that means varying it all teh time I get bored easily.
To get respiratory benefits it all depends on your heart rate, I would recommend saving up for a heart rate monitor (polar is the best). You cna read in my blog about heart rate traning and there is a slew of info on web.
good job, congratulations on your 10 minute committment, seriously this is where it all starts!

Hey etabetac you've got to start somewhere and 10 minutes is a great start. Think about when you walk to work that you're saving gas, helping the environment, helping yourself and saving $$..that is pretty motivating!
Like Nicole said it does depend on your heart rate but I know you will eventually feel you want to add more time to your exercising and/or go harder which will definately pay off and help strengthen your lungs.
If you ever need any advice or are feeling like you want to skip a work out message me, I am here.
Rock CF!

Going for a fitness test and purchasing a heart rate monitor is worth while. It has helped me not dread exercising, because then you know scientifically how hard to exercise for best benefit. Judging this was previously a problem for me, but now I know if the little monitor stays around 130-140 it's enough, and amazingly I found I can keep going at this pace, which is a fast walk. Overdoing it is harmful and unpleasant (= difficult to be compliant). Joining with a friend or taking up an activity with set times each week can also help. (my husband and I attend a class twice a week together, and on weekends I do gym with another friend)
