It is important to exercise at an intensity vigorous enough to cause your heart rate and breathing to increase. How hard you should exercise depends to a certain degree on your age, and is determined by measuring your heart rate in beats per minute.

The heart rate you should maintain is called your target heart rate, and there are several ways you can arrive at this figure. The simplest is to subtract your age from 220 and then calculate 60 to 80 percent of that figure. Beginners should maintain the 60 percent level, more advanced can work up to the 80 percent level.

Regular exercise offers you many benefits. Frequent aerobic exercise will improve your cardiorespiratory endurance, the ability of your heart, lungs, blood vessels and associated tissues to use oxygen to produce energy. The energy your body needs for exercise.

Find some good running shoes and hit the trail - or the mall and start walking. Do a five or ten minute warm-up. Some nice, easy stretching. Then gradually increase your pace for a couple minutes. Now it's time to kick it in.

Walk fast. Then slow it down a bit for a few minutes. Then - pick up the pace again. If you feel good enough to jog - go for it! Run as fast as you can for a minute then back off to a moderate pace. If you pick up the pace earlier in your run - or walk - you'll burn more calories! Repeat this pattern for fifteen or twenty minutes. Then make your last five or ten minutes of jogging at a steady, slower pace.

Patience is essential. Don't try to do too much too soon and don't quit before you have a chance to experience the rewards of improved fitness. You can't regain in a few days or weeks what you have lost in years of sedentary living, but you can get it back if your persevere. And the prize is worth the price.
