To safely transition from a sedentary lifestyle to regular activity, it’s essential to start gradually. Begin with short sessions of light exercise (e.g., walking or stretching) for a few minutes, 2-3 times a week. Incrementally increase the duration and intensity as your body adapts. Setting realistic goals and incorporating a mix of aerobic and strength training activities can enhance motivation. It’s also beneficial to monitor progress and consider joining a class or finding a workout buddy for additional support and accountability.
