If I did your workout I'd end up in a hospital
Holy endorphins, Batman!
But I am not a couch potato. I was an avid runner (many 10k's, planning on some marathons) then ended up with early degenerative arthritis in my hips, probably from a teenage injury. So I switched to aerobic walking (needed something low-impact). It's walking with that funny gait that Olympic race-walkers use, although they're much faster than I am. (I can do it at a 10.5 minute mile pace when I am really motivated-- I finish ahead of 1/3 of the runners in the average 5k race.) Believe it or not, it is a more effective CV workout than running, for kinesiological reasons. Been doing it daily except Sunday since 1988 for about 45 minutes each day. It's great for CV health and weight control.
I also do light weight lifting 3x week, just to keep from going totally flabby.
