Starting an exercise program
Sometimes it feels like climbing a mountain would be easier than getting started on an exercise program and sticking to it.
• Start slowly and go at your own pace.
• Choose activities you enjoy.
• Pick a time of day you have time to exercise.
• Write down why you want to exercise and review it often to reinforce your motivation.
Many experts advise that you consult your doctor before starting an exercise program.
