Walking is very effective, low impact, the weather is (usually) better for this now. Work up to 10,000 steps a day. Good luck!

Also an interval walk consisting of 3 minutes of fast walking followed by 3 minutes of slow walking, repeated until 30 minutes is reached, can be effective

make sure you have very good shoes and never exercise/walk through pain. "No pain, no injuries."

That’s good advice. I’m pretty lucky, no current injuries. Just need to work on getting started!

I used to do a lot more walking in the past due do different location and job, maybe that’s part of the problem, less incidental exercise. Will be getting out there once the weather clears!
