How should an extremely overweight person exercise?

By not letting...: Don't let your weight be your enemy! that means avoid activities where you carry full body weight. Good activities included cycling (outdoors or with machine), swimming, using a rowing machine. Lifting weights with a resistance machine. Many others!
