Newref - don't get in shape to work MS games. Get in shape because you'll feel better, think better, be better.

See a doctor before undertaking any weight loss/excersize program.

Generally speaking you should be able to do 30 minutes (minimum) on a treadmill at a pace that sustains a heart rate of 75% to 80% of your max rate. Max rate is 220 - your age. If your age is 20 you need to sustain a heart rate of 160 for a half hour, 3 to 4 days per week. When you can do this working MS will be nothing. For you this might seem impossible, work up to it slowly, it's not gonna come in a day.

While you're at it: pushups, situps & pullups. Do them with good form, a few to begin with & go from there.

Diet: if you put sugar in your coffee or drink non-diet soda stop. Stop eating bread. Have a few handfuls of veggies and/or nuts for lunch.

Good luck
