SelectHealth's program "Get Fit" will help you create a personal workable exercise program, maintain an existing exercise program, or just provide you with information about exercise. There are three options beginner, intermediate, and advanced as well as programs specifically for women, the core (torso), the home, and the workplace.
If you do not currently exercise, start now and set small, realistic goals for yourself. These could include starting out by walking ten minutes a day, and gradually increasing the walk to 15 minutes, and so on. And don't forget to celebrate each milestone.
