Getting in shape means Cardio conditioning, strength training and stretching.

  7 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STARTING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM!
1.  Have the right mind set! 2.  Consult you physician. 3.  Pick an activity you enjoy. 4.  Stick to a regular time every day... write it on your calendar. 5.  Invest in the right shoes. 6.  Start Slow. 7.  Drink water... best fluid replacement   
WHY CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN?
It's important if you've been inactive, if you're pregnant or over the age of 55.  If you have a medical condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease.  Your doctor may have specific guidelines for these conditions.
  WHAT ACTIVITY SHOULD I DO? Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. Easy, low cost, efficient, done on your time schedule, injury free. Walk inside or outside. Walk on a treadmill or indoor track. Water walking is also an option.

I need to put this on my fridge, in my planner, on my front door, on my car steering wheel, and on a post it note on my forehead!
