Dr. Andrew Lipton answered

Specializes in Holistic Medicine

Exercise: Start slow with 15 minutes of walking every day, and add a minute every day after two weeks. What are your goals? Consider a trainer. Fitness is a combination of cardio, strength and flexibility. For weight loss it should be an hour a day.
