Some people say that for the best results, you should do more than 20 minutes at a time - say 30-40 minutes. The theory is that during the first 20 minutes of exercise, the body is burning carbs stored as glycogen in muscle tissue. After this it starts to burn fat.Others argue that while it is true that the longer you exercise, the more "fat calories" you burn, the key factor is total calories expended. So if you find that you have trouble walking for 40 minutes at a time, try breaking it up into two 20 minute walks at different times of the day. Or four 10s, or whatever works for you.My opinion is somewhat divided. While I think the total calories view is generally right, I don't believe that you get much benefit from a lot of short bouts of exercise compared to fewer, longer bouts. On the other hand, some exercise is better than none.I've been there. In fact I used to get panic attacks just from walking up more than a few flights of stairs. Seriously.I'm very sorry to hear that. It sounds very extreme <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> Good luck with whatever you end up doing...It'll be interesting to see how things go at my next session. Since our last game I've been diagnosed with diabetes so I pretty much have to stay away from junk food from now on. Unfortunately, our group's self-appointed supplier of viands practically lives on the three Cs: coke, chocolate and chips. He always brings a ton of it to sessions. I don't expect him to change his habits, so I guess I'm just going to have to hope I get a good roll for my WILL save <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
