My Exercise Program - What do you think?

So, I am new to forums, but thought I would share with you what worked for me. Rather than trying to make weight loss my goal, I chose to keep to the program and then up my exercise a little bit at a time. Ready for it?

Week 1-3 - Exercise on bicycle or tread mill for 5-7 minutes every day
Week 4 - Exercise for 5 minutes every other day (same exercises)
Stretch every day

After this program, I added only 3 minutes to week 1-3 every time around. I have been doing it for 6 months now and am up to 25 minutes every day!!!

Whohoo... it works! However, when my knees and ankles started to hurt, I stopped and iced and didn't start up the program again until they felt better.

Hope that helps someone.

Sounds great, I might actually give this one a try. I often try to do too much too fast. Thanks!
