I think your perceptions are skewwed....I see no one pushing hard physical
exercise in here. Several in here do promote exercise, including me.
For me it is a moot point.
:: Strenuous exercise is a big exertion when you're 300lbs.
I used to weigh 367 lbs. Strenuous is strenuous...and it relative to the
person doing the exercise. IMO, large people benefit most from exercise in
terms of weight loss. One can rack up large calorie burns with moderate
effort and time works for you.
You can have a stress test done at your doctor's office if you're concerned
about your limits.

That's okay...then you'll learn your limits. Over time, you'll get to where
you can withstand your heart pounding. But don't just rush into it. Work
up to it slowly.

Then you truly need to consult a doctor or specialist before launching into
an exercise program.
