Trying to radically change your behavior for a broad goal like getting in shape requires a level of motivation that can be hard to sustain. Instead, set measurable, bite-size goals, such as getting at least 10 minutes of exercise daily. It's OK if you're not matching what your peers are doing or even what you were able to achieve in the past. Pushing yourself too hard too fast will only make you more prone to exhaustion and injury, and may lead you to stop working out.
Once you're back into the swing of regular physical activity, start incorporating exercises to build muscle strength and flexibility. This will make it easier to do more strenuous activities and protect your joints from injury, said Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a functional medicine practitioner in New York.
