If you haven’t been physically active for years, be sure to start with a goal that is realistic and manageable for you. You might start with 20 minutes of walking twice a week for 2 weeks. If that is too much, start with 10 minutes. Just be sure that the activity you’re doing is realistic for what your body can do. When you’re ready, bump up the number of workouts per week or increase the length of the activity, but not both at once. Taking on too much can leave you achy, defeated, and more likely to give up.
