get yourself started on an exercise plan by taking a walk, walk to the store when you have the opportunity rather than driving
there, provided of course that it is in walking distance. When at work take the stairs whenever possible rather than the elevator.

the bus get off a stop early and walk the rest of the way home. As you do more walking you may find you will work your way up
to jogging, if so take it slow, you may want to check with your doctor to see if you are healthy enough to start jogging. Try to
get at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week and you will be well on your way to not only losing weight, but
