Touché.

I just hate old threads.

My answer to what are some exercises for the morbidly obese:

Anything that they can stick with. Honestly, anything that increases activity on a consistent basis does the trick for them. The playing field is a bit different than that of their leaner counterparts.

I'm working with an obese woman right now.

She is doing daily walks. Working with resistance bands and dumbbells from home. Walking up and down her stairs a handful of times each day. Flexibility work a handful of times each week. A few yoga-esque type movements a couple of times per week. Some calisthenics.

Really, it's anything.

Curves might work for some. Not really a fan.... but if it works for you, have at it.
