Start out slowly with exercise. Try getting outside (go somewhere beautiful and you’ll forget you’re exercising!) for a moderate walk three times a week for around 15 to 20 minutes, gradually increasing the time and intensity as you get stronger.


Also consider meditative and relaxing forms of yoga. Once you master these activities, your mind and body will be ready to take on more challenges like weight training, pilates, swimming, cycling or dance.
