If you have serious health problems or haven't been exercising, get exercise clearance from your doctor before starting any exercise program.
Activity is one of the healthiest stress busters.
The best activities are those you keep doing. So before you rush off to join a health club, take a little time to set goals, devise a plan, and figure out ways to overcome barriers that might sabotage your good intentions. Formal exercise is great for boosting fitness, but don't rule out other kinds of activities to help you stay healthy and enjoy life. If exercise is a bore or a chore, you won't stick with it. If solitary jogs sound unappealing, check into group exercise options like joining a gym, enrolling in a yoga class, or finding a sports team.
