Walking

Don't underestimate the value of going for a walk as a fitness activity. Walking is an excellent way to ease yourself into an exercise routine, gives you a cardiovascular workout and gives your legs a workout. If you add some hills to your walk, the resistance on your legs increases.

Bodyweight exercises

If you are pushed for time, and want a quick muscular workout, try some bodyweight exercises. Variations of the squat, pushup and chin can give you an excellent workout and you don’t even have to leave home.

Some thoughts

I do not think that there is one best exercise for everybody, primarily because if you don't like an exercise you are generally not going to do it no matter how good it is for you.

Just being active everyday and doing a variety of activities is a great way to get started on your way to fitness.

Having fun when training is important.
