Welcome to the painful world of exercising, or rather trying to keep fit.
From your other thread, I shall assume that you are female although I may be wrong.
Seems like you have a problem with general fitness.
If you feel breathless now, it is perhaps because you are being too ambitious in your training.
Take it one step at a time. Start slow, start small.
First, try taking it slowly by slow jogging, as in really really slow and small steps, for 15 mins. Do it 3 times a week on alternating days. Do not be too ambitious and go threadmill immediately. Even then, try doing a low speed at first. The most important principle is to start slow then progress when you feel that you can handle it better (eg after 2 weeks and you find your current regime gives you no kick). Do not straight away go for high speed running on the threadmill for an hour unless you are ready for a marathon.
From what I infer, you are trying to lose weight so why not just do slow jogging at first for 15 mins straight, rest for half hr, then do another set of 15 mins. When you are comfortable, start increasing in small increments of 3~5 mins. Then keep progressing until you are able to slow jog for 30 mins straight. Do not bother running or jogging fast as those merely help you build muscles and make you heavier instead of lighter (muscle weigh more than fat for the same volume).
I am no fitness expert but this was the regime I put myself through when I had to past my NAPFA this year (I am male btw). If I believe I managed to shave 2 mins off my 2.4 and go from 0 to 7 pull-ups in 5 mths (not superb progress I guess but enough for me) using this regime, I believe it should help you lose weight and increase your general level of fitness.
Good luck!

Do a little everyday.
From your profile, I can see you're not as of the younger people.
But for all people, the standard is do a bit everyday. Yes, you'll be surprise, by the end of three months you can see some results.
be patient. Don't kept on looking forward for results. Just do it.
You will see the light. -

Stamina is bad... need more regualr exercise.. Cardio every alternate days. Jog every morning would be better to burn off body fats. Find ways to motivate yourself to lose weight, i'm doing that now and i have lost 6kg this year already =D. Strive on!
If you have difficulty in breathing, i sugguest u go see a doc. -
Try walking, slowly first for any time you like but don't go on until you are panting and uncomfortable.Originally posted by alba:i have tried to do exercises after so many years i never exercise now trying to do some. bit too bad, the moment i start, i felt so uncomfortbale like chest so heavy, tight and hard to breathe, i tried the cycling only for 20mins i coulnt' take it anymore, i can't breathe and felt so scared and i felt like crying cos i fail. i can see others so successful doing threadmill and machine, i am struggling just to finish off my 20mins slow cycling, it is so sad stress and useless. why is this happening. i can't breathe after 10mins, when i step on the treadmill i did for 4mins i felt dizzy all over. i hate this. how am i ever going to be fit? i am becoming rounder, fatter and heaviner and face all over so puffy.
Walking is a good exercise for all ages, it is low impact and it is one of the best exercises for losing weight. Because it is easy, you will not lose interest and stop.
As you walk, you will find yourself walking longer and faster, gradually.
To be cool about walking, go walk by the seaside, or round the neighourhood or to buy something.
I walk, moderate speed,, 5 - 6 km/hr ,almost every weekday morning when it is cool for an hour. Weekends , I sleep in.
When I am too lazy to go out, I turn on the tv and walk as I watch my favourite programme.
I have written three chapters in my blog about walking: "Walking and our Fats", "Power Walking" and "Shape Walking". Walking and eating low carb, low fat, high fibre and high protein helped me lose 14 kg to my current weight of 49 to 50kg. Not only that, I am healthy as proven by health examinations and blood tests.
My lunch today is 10 sticks of satay and 3/4 of a cucumber with some sauce. chinese tea and my exercise today (it is school holiday, so I can't go out as much as I want), 1 hour infront of Chanel News Asia.
p/s: you may want to check with a doctor about your health. -

Do you have any medical conditions?
You should at least go for a medical checkup just in case.
As for the exercising, start slowly...
I am a good example...
I am near 230 pounds...if you rate my BMI, I am in the super duper obese category...
Start slowly, sometimes, you will only see results after a certain period of time.
If you can only jog for 3 rounds around the track, then jog for three rounds around the track until you feel that you are really to go for another half round or one more round...
There is no need to envy people...
You see people with the most amazing stamina now but you don't see the efforts & time that they put in to achieve that kind of fitness...
Set your goals and map out your strategies...
Just make sure you are determined enough to stick to your strategies & reach your goals...
Good Luck dude...
I am too on the same path as you...

This is what happens when you don't exercise for too long.Originally posted by alba:i have tried to do exercises after so many years i never exercise now trying to do some. bit too bad, the moment i start, i felt so uncomfortbale like chest so heavy, tight and hard to breathe, i tried the cycling only for 20mins i coulnt' take it anymore, i can't breathe and felt so scared and i felt like crying cos i fail. i can see others so successful doing threadmill and machine, i am struggling just to finish off my 20mins slow cycling, it is so sad stress and useless. why is this happening. i can't breathe after 10mins, when i step on the treadmill i did for 4mins i felt dizzy all over. i hate this. how am i ever going to be fit? i am becoming rounder, fatter and heaviner and face all over so puffy.
You need to start slowly, let your body get used to it , gradually.
Start on the threadmill. You need to up your cardiovascular ability.
Start by doing only 5 mins.
Then gradually add 3 to 5 mins each session.
Eventually your body will be able to take longer sessions.
Then after you can do at least 10mins on one exercise without any problem.
Move on to do other types of exercises.
After awhile you will have no problem doing multiple routine.
20mins during the first few sessions may be too straining. -

let me give you step by step
dont rush into excercise first
i.e running on threadmill, thats tough if you are not use to excercise
go on the bike and ride for 30 minutes and keep yourself distracted by watching tv , time will pass very fast.
wear double layer of clothing
drink lots of water
now
this is the most important
dont eat after 7 pm for one week, do that and you will see yourself losing weight , once you lost weight
you will find it much easier to excercise
you can drink water, and a bit of fruits, just dont eat anything else
first few days , you fill find that you will not have constipation problem because you are not eating , they will start to cleanse yourself daily ,
i know you will get hungry , so sleep early..
wake up and reward yourself with a good breakfast and some snacks
keep active
