if you're new to exercise or have struggled with it in the past talk with your doctor about your exercise plans. after that start by incorporating more activity into your daily life. for instance: if you always take the elevator try the stairs. if you try to park next to the door of wherever you're going park further away and walk. if your habit is to eat at your desk take a 10- to 20-minute walk first then have your lunch (or take a walk after you eat). instead of watching tv all day saturday and sunday plan active weekends. go to the park take a walking tour ride your bike or row a boat. if you prefer a more ambitious routine you can join a gym or try working out at home. try for 30 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobic activity (such as swimming biking walking dancing or jogging) at least three to five times a week. weight training can also help tone your muscles and elevate your resting metabolism rate. (the rate that the body burns fuel for energy) whatever plan you decide on it's a good idea to set weekly goals.
