The road to fitness starts with assessing your current state of health and fitness and developing a plan of sensible eating and exercise that is right for you. Start
with a physical exam, especially if you are overweight or have any
medical problems, including heart disease, diabetes or bone disease. To
learn more about your health, you can calculate your Body Mass Index
and Once you have a clean bill of health it's time to get moving, literally. Start
slowly. Getting started too fast can lead to injuries and discourage you
from exercising. Gradually increase activity over a few weeks. Work up to 30 minutes of moderate physical activity (walking, gardening) at least 5 days per week or 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity (running, tennis, swimming) at least 3 days per week.
