Updated on May 7, 2017

Some people exercise to lose weight, and some people exercise to feel good, while others exercise just for the sake of exercising. It’s a very good idea to exercise, even if you exercise only three times a week. Exercise does wonders for one’s soul. It helps for depression too, and it also lowers your risk of heart disease.

Don't Try To Do Too Much Too Soon

When starting an exercise routine, don’t try to do too much too soon. Build up to it gradually. For instance, don’t try running 10 kilometers on the first day of your exercise routine. Rather run 3 kilometers each day for more or less three weeks, and then, when your body’s used to it, try running 5 kilometers each day for more or less three weeks, and so on. Exercise with caution. That’s the best way. Remember to go to your doctor for a medical checkup before starting an exercise routine.

You can walk alone, or with a friend, or you can take your dog for a walk, if you have a dog. Before doing any exercise, you should do a couple of stretches just to warm up a bit. Jogging is also an excellent exercise, and it’s so much fun. It tones the whole body, and it’s very invigorating. Just keep at it, and very soon you’ll jog with a smile on your face.
