The best way to start a routine is to pick something that fits into your lifestyle.
Experts recommend doing aerobics -- run, swim, walk, ride a bike -- for 20-30 minutes two to three times per week.
Do full-body strength training once or twice a week.
To help keep you going:
- Set short-term, realistic goals.
- Keep an exercise diary
- Find places in everyday life to exercise automatically.
- Make a commitment to somebody else.
- Find a workout buddy.
- Reward yourself, but not with food.
