If your doctor has told you that you should start exercising, and you've never really exercised before, it's understandable if you don't know where to start.
Depending on your age and fitness level, you may not be able to jump into a fast-paced exercise routine right away.
If fitness is something new in your vocabulary, there are certainly questions to consider.
What should you be looking for in a gym?
What type of exercises should you be doing?
And, how do you spur that motivation to get started?
Neal Pire and Grace Desimone join host Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss how best to get started on an exercise plan, as well as other considerations to keep in mind.
