Answer I think you are on the right track. Continue eating well adn incorporating some exercise at least 4x week. Once you are ready, begin strength training and maybe taking some classes. The web has ALOT of fitness info and as long as what you read is credible, then it should be helpful. You can get some info at www.standapartfitness.com
