Your problem is to make yourself fit because your fed up with sedentary life style.so you can do many excersise except weight training like jogging,fast walk,streching,yoga etc.whatever you do one thing always remember that when you do any physical activity must wear supporter .if you are over weight then first burn your exyra fat then you can do some weight training.
