you need to begin, and maintain, an exercise program. while the task of staring an exercise program can seem daunting to the beginner, it is really as easy as going for a leisurely walk around the block.<\/p>\n<p>one common exercise fallacy is you must exercise for a certain number of minutes at a time to see any benefits. while there is some truth to this for endurance activities, for the average person, the benefits from short bursts of activity add up. rita redberg, cardiologist and chairwoman of the american heart association&#8217;s scientific advisory board, says that any incremental activity is a boost to fitness. this is one of the best beginning exercise tips, as you don\u2019t need to spend hours at the gym to get fit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;consistency is so important. get even a little bit of exercise most every day and your fitness goals become more than attainable. they\u2019re points on the horizon that you\u2019re excited to reach. on days when you\u2019re unmotivated, just get in a short workout. then congratulate yourself on the effort. doing a little can sometimes be a greater achievement than doing a lot.&#8221;
