Getting regular exercise doesn’t necessarily mean putting yourself through something that seems like boot camp. Little things can help you more than you think. Simply going for walks or taking stairs instead of an elevator can make a difference and help lower your cholesterol.

If you’re feeling more ambitious, join a gym or explore new sports like golf, softball, or tennis. Do things you like to do, and have fun with them. The best way to make sure you stick to an exercise program is to make sure you’re enjoying yourself. Better yet, get a friend to join you. Of course, you should be sure to talk with your doctor before starting any exercise regimen.
