Once the weather starts getting warmer and the sun is staying out longer, take the opportunity to start a fitness program. Do a variety of fun activities like walking, dancing, golfing, playing volleyball or tennis, swimming, and more. It doesn't need to be hard to be beneficial. Avoid injury by starting any new activity slowly. Be active for at least 2½ hours a week. Include activities that raise your breathing and heart rates and that strengthen your muscles.
