Well, I am not going to give you facts and figures about how many minutes, how many times a week, how much weight, and so on. A lot of that is ...

But how do I start? And what type of exercise program is really best for me, based on my age, body shape and size, abilities and time constraints? And how do I know if I’m making progress? While that can be a lot to digest at once, the path to good fitness and health doesn’t have to be complicated and difficult to travel.
