Yes. Start slowly with low intensity exercise like walking. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of exercise, as tolerated. It may take up to 3 months for you to get back in shape. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. It is useful in keeping us fit and healthy at every stage of our life. If you have been inactive restart slowly and build up your stamina over a period of 1 to 2 months. Excess of exercise in the first week can lead to very sore muscles...so start at a moderate pace in the first week and then start increasing by a small increment every other da

It really depends on your state of health, age, tolerance. Consider seeing a doctor first to assess your current state of health before embarking on a new exercise regimen.
