Exercise
Ok, first things first. I am NOT an exerciser, but I want to get more fit. I am 5 9, and I weigh 218 lbs. Yesterday I had my first "official" work out, which was stretching, 2 stair laps,some strenghtning exercises, 2 sprints, walking, jogging, more strecthing and dancing. It took about an hour and a half to do all of that (and it was precisely in that order). Was that starting out too big? Or should i tone it down a bit? Thanks! Sorry if it's in the wrong category.

I think it's great that you want to get more fit!
If your starting out doing all of those then it might be a bit hard to stick to. Try cutting out half an hour or one of those that you know won't have a very big impact on you. Or if you really like them,try to rotate exercises.
Hope that helped a bit.
P.S. What helps me keep going is music! :)

The best way to work out if you're just beginning is to start out with a low base time and work up.
Like do 30 minutes every day for the first week. Thats the minimum amount of exercise time recommended.
Then the next week do 45 minutes a day. Then the next week do an hour a day. Or do an hour a day and then a half hour the next.
If you start out high you'll get stiff and sore fast =/ You CAN keep going like that...but if you aren't in shape you'll probably want to stop all together after a while because you'll be too tired or sore to keep going.

The important thing is that you stick to what you decide to do. That being said, you probably won't stick to something that lasts that long. Try just taking up an hour; cut something out. Also, make sure you enjoy your workout.
