It\u2019s something that you don\u2019t need a whole lot of preparation for, and you can adjust your workout to your ability, going for longer distances as you get better, or trying to complete shorter distances in less time. Make sure to stretch though!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Airon Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with something light at first. Preferably something you enjoy. Long walks, light jogging around your favourite neighbourhood, shooting hoops. You might even want to ask a friend to join you. From there progress by taking the intensity up. You can do it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cecil W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well first of all, I think the fact that you\u2019re considering this is a great success itself \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffb to me, taking long walks or jogging are the best exercise,  no matter what age:D<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aisha N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Before anything, you must take BABY STEPS. Ease your body into this new lifestyle with intention and everything will fall into place with time. I am not a gym rat or a coach so I wouldn\u2019t really know form where to start, but my recommendation and most obvious suggestion would be to do some light cardio, lots of stretches, and maybe start with 1-5 repetitions of certain strength exercises such as push-ups, crunches, squats etc\u2026 Wish you well on your beautiful journey!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ira C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">maybe start if we slow steady walks every day and progressively get faster so it would turn into a run, remember push urself but not too much!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Andr J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Running Can hurt your body, knees, ankle, back. So the bests choice to start to be healthy would bike or swimming. Starting with small sessions of 20 min in the beginning and when it feels better increasing to 30 min, 35min then 45min.<br \/>\nWhen you reach the 45 min you can start session with exercise like split. An example:<br \/>\n10min warm up then run very fast during 30sec then 1min recovery and repeat it 6 times and 10 min cooling down.<br \/>\nThen after you can intensifies the sessions.<br \/>\nOr you can go somewhere like a mountain with ups and downs.<br \/>\nWhen you do a running sessions with an exercise, you should do a recovery running sessions of 45min to 1h to make your body assimilate what you did the day before.<br \/>\nIf you feel like it you can also had in your week muscle strengthening.<br \/>\nHope it&#39;s useful ! You can do it !<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ottokar F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You can try exercise by simply trying help yourself wakeup from lying down , because that&#39;s best exercise and really necessary , or something about balancing , but if u want to lift some weight ,it&#39;s just lift two big bottle of water , one right hand one left hand , that&#39;s enough, that&#39;s what my doctor say to my friend \ud83d\ude42 hope it helps \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Os Rio Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">as in physical exercise?
