As you become accustomed to exercising, and incorparating a suitably balanced diet, your energy levels should increase.
First thing, is to have a check up with your Doctor, to establish you are in a reasonable level of fitness to start.
Time is a concern for a lot of people. Balancing work, social lives, and such...but consistancy is important.
If possible, its good to set aside, an hour a day, 5/6 days a week. If you dont feel able to jump straight into this schedule, donate as much time as possible, a long, and up to, these guidelines.
The best exercises are in part, the ones you love to do! Most people have there own tastes. But, things like, running, swimming, cycling, rowing, are all great. But then , if you read back through posts, here in this thread, you'll find other alternative routines.
From the information, you have kindly given, i would think it best to include both aerobic, and anaerobic types of exercises.

I KNOW I should be running after work (for that ever approaching 5k run....) but swimming laps after work just feels so darn good! Last night swam for 30 min....warm up with a 500= 20 laps....then sets of 100s =4 laps back, kick, free, breast. 36 laps total

Today:
Warm up, and stretch.
Eight sets of barbell behind neck press.
Four sets of dumbbell lateral raises.
Four sets of standing, side to overhead dumbbell flys.
Four sets of barbell upright rowing.
Four sets of barbell shrugs.
Four sets of barbell straight legged dead lift.

I have to say that although I'm considered the sporty/ athletic one in my family- I absolutely hate exercising! I just try to walk anywhere as much as I can instead of being driven and eat healthily. That's my bouts of daily exercise and the occasional yoga practices.

Great job there! How long does a workout like this usually take you? I get sooo impatient when trying to take up a weight lifting routine.

shoegal2183 April 27. Swimming is fantastic because it gives your body more of a workout than running does...

As for me, my friends I have to say the last 4 days of work have been terribly busy and literally I don't have time to spare for my routine workout. But tomorrow is Friday, and I will resume my running regimen. I'll keep you all posted

 

[shoegal2183]

I'm glad you are back SirSunday....and yes....thank you for the reminder that I only have a month to get ready. Sounds like a lot of time, but I'm a bad runner!

More swimming tonight because snow has come back to Chicago

Swam for 40 min

600 free(=24 laps)
100 back (=4 laps)
200 kick board (=8 laps)
100 free arms only..with floaty thing held between ankles =(4 laps)
100 kick (=4 laps)

[adorefaith]

good on you shoegal

ive been trying to incorporate swimming into my exercise regime but i'm hopeless...LOL...i dont know how someone can swim so many laps.! i can barely get through 2 laps of freestyle....whereas running is much easier for me...so i must need to work on my upper body strength. i'm a bit better at breastroke...i can manage about 15 laps with little breaks every 2-3 laps. i need to keep working on it..

 

[handbag Whore]

Sirsunday - thanks so much!

I am (finally) "back on the saddle" again...i ran a good 3 - 3.5 miles at a comfortable pace. The calf is still a little tight, but thats nothing some good stretching cant fix! ...i hope...
