Choose exercises or activities that you enjoy. It is much more likely that you will stick with an activity that you like. You can even make it a social event by inviting friends to share in the activity. Inconsistent exercise is much less beneficial than a sustained exercise program. The types of exercise you can do are numerous and include walking, running, biking, swimming, calisthenics, tennis, basketball, skiing and weightlifting to name just a few.
Most studies show that moderate exercise is highly benefitial.
Enjoy your exercise. But don t overdo it. Whenever we exercise, we use up vital nutrients and produce free radicals. To prevent damage to our arteries or internal organs from an exercise program, it is wise to eat a diet of complex carbohydrates, protein, and essential fatty acids. You may want to consider supplementing your diet with antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, and beta carotene, as well as the minerals selenium and zinc.
