Good advice, Dan.  I would modify the recommendation
to 40 miles per week on a bike, at least to start
with, for someone who probably doesn't exercise at
all.  

Although there seems to be "a little" exaggeration
on this thread, it is clear that some of the WKPP
divers are in great shape, with superb VO2 max's,
and there really is no substitute for good physical
conditioning in diving, or anything else.

I am lucky to do 40 miles on my bike, averaging 20
mph, once a week.  And I used to bike and ski (cross-
country) competitively.  Just do it, you'll be glad
you did.
